The movie showed many scenes of different situations that people would need to face in their daily lives. There were a lot of views from a tiny problem to a large one. The movie was separated into several stories related to each other. I am going to focus on three parts that impressed me the most. The first one was a locksmith who had a tattoo on his body. The second one was a man who owned a grocery storeen Graham Waters and his mother who lacked communication in their daily lives. My attention was caught by the scene when a Hispanic locksmith, Daniel Ruiz was changing a lock at Rick Cabot’s house. Throughout this scene, it illustrated how a person’s physical appearance affected his life. Rick’s wife was angry about the two African American guys who robbed her car. She did not want to act like a racist in front of the locksmith, however her attitude and language revealed how she became racist and stereotypical. She did not know the personality of the locksmith, but she just judged him by his tattooed body. She never knew that Daniel was a hard working man and wanted to take a good care of his daughter and family. The physical appearance does not represent a person’s true personality. It is hard to have an accurate answer based on one’s physical appearance because some people may have a good appearance but may actually be cold-hearted. The second scene impressed me when the grocery man went to the gun store to purchase a gun. However, the gun store owner gave him a lot of attitude. I think the reason why the grocery man bought a gun was because he felt unsafe and felt that he lacked security around him. He felt insulted when he bought the gun, so, in turn, he immediately turned mad when he saw that the grocery store was wrecked and tagged with racist graffiti, and his anger worsened when the insurance company told him that they would not cover the damage. At this point, he was so insecure because he thought that the gun man was insulting him, the locksmith

    Another example of stereotype I saw in the movie was when a young Hispanic man was changing the locks in Sandra Bullock’s house. She took a look at him then turned around told her husband that she wanted to have the locks changed again the next day because he was a thug and was going to sell a copy of their key to one of his homeys. She just saw his exterior and made the assumption not even knowing he was a hard-working man and an amazing father to his little girl.…

    After watching the movie, I became more aware of what the current time era presented to people. And that was ignorance, violence, prejudices, and discrimination towards people who looked differently than that of one’s self. I have much respect for the people who had to go through so much trouble just because they were different. I also enjoyed the movie because Singleton incorporated scenes that may seem out of the ordinary is today’s society, but is what really happened during the days of America…

    There were tons of key moments that impacted me and once that just did not make a big dent. I already listed a few moments that had a negative effect on me. The International Sign Language Theatre Festival towards the end of the film was amazing. I wish I could have gone, there were different acts from around the world, different types of acts, and a great thought. It was interesting to the different types of sign language across the world. It is similar to speaking, for example, certain countries have different type of language and that is the same with signing. Its inspirational characters and messages really made me think deeper into deaf culture. I wanted to learn more about deaf culture and more signing than just American Sign Language. The four many characters all touched my heart in different ways. Robert, the actor, no matter…

    There are many instances of racial stereotypes throughout the movie. One of the first is when the two black men just left a restaurant and Ludacris is complaining about how they got poor service because they were black. He then goes on listing all the things that people thought of them because they were black, and then proved all of them to be true. He points out that Sandra Bullock clung on to the guy who played George of the Jungle’s arm when she saw them, and pointed out that she immediately felt afraid because she saw them. He and his friend then proceed to steal their car and take it to a chop shop. I thought it was ironic how he had thought how wrong it was for people to stereotype him, and then do all the things he said people assumed he did.…

    Family Movie

    It is a glimpse into how differently a father would raise his children if given a chance to do so without interference or boundaries. It reminds us that once parents learn to listen to each other instead of fighting with each other during divorce proceedings they will finally come around to doing what is best for their children. The movie introduces the viewers to the changing dynamic of the American family. Mothers are no longer stay at home moms who simply tend to children and cook meals. These days women like Miranda Hillard (Sally Field) are career driven heads of industries. It is also not uncommon these days to find a stay at home dad like Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams). The problem with this situation is that even though mothers bring home the bacon, they are still expected to come home and perform their wifely and motherly duties. Something that society has not once, throughout the history or marriages expected from the husband and father. Such a situation indeed takes its toll on any marriage and weakens the foundation of the…

    While watching the film there were many moments that struck me as interesting. The first moment that struck me the most was when Jean Reynolds, who is a 51 year old, certified nursing assistant, daughter said she had cancer. That she would not live for long because Jean could not afford to get her daughter treatment. The second moment that struck me was when Barbara Brooks, a 36 year old, single mother said that she was “hustling backwards”. She wants to provide for her children, and is even trying to get further in her education to accomplish this. However every time she advanced there would be something that pulled her back. For example when she got a raise then they took some of her benefits away.…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…

    Without a doubt, it's a hugely compelling and thought provoking movie and it makes you ask very poignant questions about yourselves or anyone around. As we grow and get lost in the crowd we tend to keep away from the philosophy of life and seek only materialistic things, the money, the name, the prosperity while our purpose of existence and purpose of doing something still remains in question.…
