The movie Guilty by Suspicion was not your average “action-packed” Matrix. In this movie, David Merrill (played by Robert DeNiro,) is a successful director. Everything seems to be fine, until his past starts catching up with him. Now he’s wanted for possibly being a Communist. As boring as this would sound to the average teenager, I actually liked it. Take for example the scene where he first sees his son. He gave him a brand new toy car and you could clearly see he loved his little boy. I liked this scene because it showed Mr. Merrill was a considerate and caring person…not a cold, raging beast. In another part of the movie when his friend Red had a sort of “breakdown” in her trailer, David came through for he...
His song, “I Walk the Line”, is a good first example of the nature of love. There are two interpretations of this song, one marital and the other spiritual, but for this argument the marital interpretation will be used. This was Cash’s first number one Billboard hit which he recorded in 1956 (“I Walk The Line”). This song was inspired by Johnny’s wife Vivian, and is about how their love will stay strong and how he will stay faithful through his rise to stardom (Beck). He opens the song with “I keep a close watch on this heart of mine; I keep my eyes wide open all the time” (Beck). Before his career even took off, Cash had to prove his love for his wife. Simply being married to her for years and raising your children was not enough prove it. This song also shows the twisted hold that love can have on your heart, visible in the lyrics, “You've got a way to keep me on your side; you give me cause for love that I can't hide”. Here, Cash tells us that he is blinded by love and that he has no option other than following his love for his wife. Ironically, this turns out not to be true. Cash’s marriage ended up falling through as he fell in love with his singing partner, June Carter. So, “I Walk the Line” tells us that love is binding, powerful, and cannot be

They thought that that would get the district’s attention but they still were apathetic to the situation. The organization of students couldn’t stand any more and began to
The Seven Five is a documentary that frivolously reexamines the crimes of Officer Michael Dowd and his team of dirty cops.

It takes courage to make a chance and you have to stand up for what you believe in. At least, that is the message I got after I watched this amazing movie. 12 Angry Men, a debut film of its producer, is an American drama film that was released on 1957. This movie which was directed by Sidney Lumet is consists of twelve men having a conversation in a room for most of the time. The running time of the film is ninety six minutes. But even only with conversation, the film can create an intense situation. And in my opinion, this film is totally going in my list as one of the best films I have ever seen.
