The Major Ed Koch New York City: Film Analysis
The film gives an especially attention on the governor Charlie Crist of Florida, devoting much of its time to the stories that have already been told about the governor. He puts on a real good show with his wife portending he is straight but he is really not, I ask myself what he felt about his wife, I mean his wife should know that he was gay and suffer from the marriage knowing that he will always loves man not women. I think under the money and power women are willing to do these thing that’s against their moral thoughts. It is true she could live comfortably with a gay governor husband and not worry about her living condition but what about her moral and the value of living, I guess when you have someone take care of you with house and money you will more likely to settle that way and suffer from a …show more content…

    In the documentary film “The Laramie Project,” many issues were brought up and discussed throughout its duration: socio-political ones such as laws against hate crimes as well as socio-ethical ones such as live-and-let-live philosophies. However, what may have truly caught my attention, and probably as well as others’, was the controversial socio-ethical topic of homosexuality.…

    Throughout, Bruni uses his personal experience as a gay man to showcase how un-logical the idea is that women need to vote for Hilary just because she is also a woman. Bruni used a very logical approach, the logos appeal, that just because he’s gay and if there was a presidential candidate that is gay, the candidate would not automatically get his vote. Bruni states that just because he belongs to the same minority group, gay men, as the hypothetical candidate, that he would only vote for the candidate if his beliefs aligned with those of the candidate’s. His example is logical and easy to agree with, which makes it easier to come to the same conclusion about Hilary Clinton’s situation. Bruni discusses very poignantly that if a candidate was gay, or in Hilary’s case a woman, that it is not the only thing that matters about a presidential candidate. He then made the logical statement that during the 2008 campaign Barrack Obama was consonantly identified by his race, just like how Hilary is being identified by her gender. Bringing up an example that is so closely related to Hilary’s made Bruni’s argument even more well rounded. “I’ll go to the barricades for that imagined gay candidate if he or she…

    I found it very interesting from a gender and functionalist perspective when the father came home and his wife was no where to be found, and his first response was "What about my dinner?" This response struck me as odd not when he did wonder if she is ok; instead his first instinct is to wonder who will fulfill the role of food preparation. Another wonderful example was when the father brought his son cocktail olives for dinner because all the other food was frozen, and he did not know how to thaw it. I thought that it was disturbing when big Bob was in the courtroom trying to drum up support for keeping the town as it always had been. He referred to the men’s wives as a means to an end to get household chores done, such as ironing, cleaning, and cooking and not as an emotional attachment that one would think of in a…

    Sexism In Blackrock Play

    • 1037 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The sexist attitudes held by the male characters in the play, heavily influenced the way they interacted with their female counterparts. Ricko is a prime example of this with the objectification of his girlfriend, Tiffany: “You’ll do what you always do, bitch. ’Cause you are what you are. What you’ll always be. So shut up and put out.” (pg.55) Ricko’s use of vulgar language and reference to Tiffany’s only use being for sex, highlights what little value he places on Tiffany as a person because she is a woman. At its most extreme, I believe these sexist attitudes contributed to Toby, Davo, and Scott’s decision to rape Tracy: “She wanted to, then she didn’t want to-” (pg.38) The boys disregard Tracy’s pleas to stop the assault because her consent isn’t worth anything to them; she isn’t worth anything to them. They think they have a right to her sexually because she was willing at one point, and deem her to be an object associated with their own sexual pleasure. These views presented in ‘Blackrock’ challenged my own because I believe woman are more than just sexualised objects and should be treated as equals and with respect.…

    It was very surprising how Cather explained the puzzling “pupil” that rode in with Mr. Merrick. Cather presented Henry Steavens as a young Bostonian who looked up to Mr. Merrick for his work as an artist, or possibly a father figure. This was a revolting part. When one eventually figures out that Steavens was actually Mr. Merrick’s lover, it’s a shock, yet irritating. Cather should have hinted more throughout the story of this secret relationship because she didn’t make the love between the two men feel strong at all. Cather made it seem that the town and its people had won the battle between heterosexuals and gays. The story should have shown more openness. Cather should have shown that the townspeople definitely knew of this forbidden relationship. That would have made the story more…

    The movie, in a sense, is a thrilling adventure about the ups and downs of relationships in the black community. In another sense, it was a heartwarming story about women who can live to the fullest no matter what circumstances they encounter. I believe it to be more of the latter. Robin was willing to lower her standards and even date a man who has been addicted to drugs only to find the man who will show her love. Gloria would rather stay at home and talk to the man across the street, rather than work so she can have a shot at his love. Savannah, a successful business woman, is willing to allow a married man to interfere with the way she lives her life. Bernadine lost all of her money and was close to losing everything she had. However, each woman, at the end of the movie, realized they could have life to the fullest.…

    The Laramie Project

    • 1065 Words

    Things don’t happen in a small town like Laramie, Wyoming, but when someone is beaten and left to die, the true colors of the residents come out. Some people in the town did not give a care in the world to him dying because he was gay and thought he should have died. Others thought it was down-right wrong, immoral, and a complete hate crime. Matthew chose to be gay, it was his right as a human being, and he was going to fight for that right. His fight for human rights continued after his death. It brought out the gay community in Laramie and they fought for that lifestyle and showed everyone there was nothing wrong it. It also brought out the gay community all around the United States to come out and feel proud of whom they were. Ignorance is defined within Kaufmann’s The Laramie Project not only as insensitivity but as stupidity and immaturity.…

    This film does have all of these aspects. In addition, this film follows the ideas of a white patriarchal capitalistic society. The entire film only has white actors, and the film also entirely focuses on Ben and his journey through life. Ben is the protagonist, and in America On Film, the protagonist is described as “a straight white male seeking wealth or power” (25). This is true, and another aspect of this is that the protagonist usually has a female love interest that is given a minor role. The female strictly exists as someone having sex appeal and is not given a three dimensional role, unlike the…

    In the essay " The Case Against Gay Marriage," Manuel Lopez, a gay man himself, contests the idea of allowing gay marriage by relating it to his homosexual experience, and more specifically to the future outlook for the institution of marriage. He takes a passive but safe entrance to his essay by discussing opinion polls and common belief among young people, noting that the main reason high school students will not oppose gay marriage is due to their upbringing in a democracy that stands for equality. He mentions the central idea that gay marriage will mostly affect future generations rather than current ones. His opening, however, shows little support for most of his assumptions and claims. Aside from his lack of supporting evidence, his most notable aspect is his literary tone towards the issue. He shows no anger or…

    New York City is known as a center of art, culture, fashion and finance with iconic sites such as Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, and The Empire State Building. There are certain aspects which are easily identified with New York City such as skyscrapers, rap, the subway, and Broadway. However, in my mind, there is one aspect of New York City which I feel represents the city as a whole. One place that can be found in each neighborhood with different ambiences and different people. Diners are delightful environments and food joints serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Diners show the traits which make New York City so enjoyable for me.…
