    Miss Evers was truly acting in the best interest of her patients. She truly cared about them and when times became tough, she stood by their side through the entire study. In the movie, she believed that she honored her oath and gave them all she had. Miss Evers should first do no harm. After she found out about the withheld treatment, she continued to follow through with the study; even though she knew Syphilis would kill her patients and that Penicillin could treat their illness. I believe she advocated for the patients when she found out about the Penicillin, but the doctor whom she trusted felt the study was necessary for the greater good to prove it’s not an African American disease. I felt like he made her feel guilty, because he knew…

    In The Breakfast Club, there is an overwhelming idea of the future. The students only think about one week in advance before their Saturday detention. They never thought about what their actions could do to their future. For example, Brian did not seem to grasp that because he was so ready to kill himself over one failed assignment. He was thinking in the now and not in the future. A noticeable moral of this film is: Parents should actually raise their children. In this film, all of the parents have minimal screentime, but it is still evident that they totally suck. Claire’s parents use her as a tool of revenge against one another, and her parents fail to see the effect it has on her. Andrew’s parents push him too hard, and as a result he is…

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    Boyz n the Hood

    Boyz N the Hood, the first movie from director John Singleton, is an intriguing and insightful look into the machinations of black culture, dealing particularly with South Central Los Angeles, California during both the mid 1980's and early 1990's. Rather than focusing on one aspect of the black experience in the inner city, the film instead splits its narrative to follow the intertwining lives of three young, black men as they mature and adapt to the unique challenges of their surroundings. Singleton's Los Angeles is one of open and constant violence, a malignant, ever-present police force, and a series of winding, unclear, and potentially treacherous paths through which its inhabitants must maneuver. The film's message that all black people must unify if they hope to end the fierce cycle of bloodshed perpetuated on them by corrupt external forces.…

    A gap between what they see and what they know. Michael B. Jordan who played Oscar said in an interview, “It felt like I was telling a story for young African-American males who are stereotyped and judged before people get a chance to know them. We wanted to let people know who this guy was through the people who knew him the best. Show the good, bad and the ugly. Flaws and all." Which they did. He was a loving father, boyfriend, son, brother, and friend. While on the other hand a convicted felon who had served time in prison. Throughout the film we start to see this man who is trying to right all his wrongs, whether it be his family or even his “thuggish” lifestyle. Although on the night of his death the police officers saw a black man who was “resisting to cooperate”, is held face down on the ground then shot in the back.

    The scene I have chosen as my personal favorite is the opening scene of the movie, Stranger Than Fiction, 2006, starring Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson, and directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Zach Helm. The American humorous drama-fantasy film (Smith) portrays the self-contained IRS agent, Harold Crick, whose dull life is perfectly regulated by numbers and calculations until one day, when he begins to hear all his life’s events being chronicled by an, at that time, unknown English woman’s voice in his head, which ultimately turns his orderly life upside down.…
