Neither movie is perfect, but both shows a valid point in real life situations. Two predominantly black communities suffering from real life problems.

    The Watsons Go To Birmingham: Differences Between The Book And Movie

    The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…

    Literary Elements Of The Blind Side

    The movie that I chose to write about is the Blind Side. What I think this movie is really about is, exactly what I watched. The movie is a true story about a real life event. It was about a white family taking in a homeless black boy that goes to the same school as her children. She feels very sorry for him, when she sees him walking in the pouring down rain in shorts and a tee shirt. She wants to help him and give him a better life. At first she has him sleeping on the couch, and eventually she gives him a room of his own. She also buys him new clothes, things he has never had before. The family helps educate him and gets him to play football and helps him to get a scholarship to a great college. They reached out to a person that did not have a chance, and not only became a family for him, but gave him a life that he would not otherwise have had.…

    Common Themes in “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Black Like Me”

    Another aspect that both movies have in common is that they are much more true when it comes to showing the reality of African Americans in the 50s and 60s. The scenes where the journalist travels through hitchhiking are very intense because they show the attitude of white men towards black men, their perverse fascination over the subject of Afro American men lust after “their” women. It unmistakably pictures how they…

    Racism In Boyz N The Hood

    In today’s society, racism has been a constant, built into the day to day lives of everyone. But despite the intuitional racism film makers like Spike Lee and John Singleton have inspired many and have brought the struggles of the black community to the screen. Spike Lee was going for more of a radical way for the black community to be in the system, while Singleton was advocating for the black community to work the system in which they were born into.…

    Our America Book Vs Movie Essay

    LeAlan And Lloyd are best friends and reporters but they start to split since LeAlan graduated and Lloyd failed 12th grade and didn’t go to graduation with LeAlan. Also the book didn’t write about the principle thinking that LeAlan and Lloyd was saying all these bad things about the hood that was not true.The reason why I think that there are so many differences in the book and movie is because LeAlan grandmother was singing her favorite song in the movie and the book never said that she was singing her favorite song. I like the movie better because it shows more things that never happened in the book. I like the book a little bit because it shows more things that never happened in the movie. The book and movie versions of Our America have many differences such as the movie shows and tells that Duane got shot and the book never said that Duane got shot.…

    Boyz N the Hood

    “Boyz N the Hood” is one of the many films from the 1990’s that displayed gang violence among African-Americans in urban areas such as “Juice,” “South Central,” and “Menace II Society.” However, “Boyz N the Hood” is known for more than just depicting violence. The Library of Congress had place it on preservation in its’ National Film Registry and even referred to it as “culturally significant” in 2002. Never realizing it after watching it the first few times, this film gives a perspective on what the typical African-American family is like during this period. 2 of the families the movie focused on the most were Tre’s and Doughboy’s. They shared a lot of differences and a few similarities but the most common factor is that their parents weren’t together.…

    Minority report vs all the troubles of the world

    The two computers “All the Troubles in the World” and “Minority Report” are both machines that can predict the future, but they operate in different ways. The computer in Minority Report is actually 3 human beings with psychic powers. However the computer in “All the Troubles in the World” is actually a super computer that becomes so complex it starts to act like a human. Some other differences are that Multivac controls the world’s economy and can predict everybody’s actions before the people can even think about doing it, while the Pre-Cogs can only predicts murders with vague visions. The ways the two machines operate are vastly different; the Pre-cogs need a technician to constant watch them and special medication, but all Multivac needs are replacement parts to be installed occasionally. People also see Multivac as a god as it can predict almost anything with the data its collected. The Pre-Cogs on the other hand are constantly doubted as some people don’t believe they are 100% accurate. Although the two machines have many differences they are similar in some aspects, they both can predict murders and a police force can stop it before it happens. Both of the universes heavily rely on the two machines to make the world a better place. Overall the two stories “All the Troubles of the World” and “Minority Report” have similar concepts but are very different when you look at how the machines function.…

    Compare And Contrast Harrison Bergeron

    Both story and movie portray a future where everyone is mentally, physically, and socially equal. The people who made the film did not portray it well in most areas. The character Harrison Bergeron in both the movie and story was described differently. Harrison’s father wears a metal handicap radio in his ear. The government in the story regulates mostly everything and in the movie they it forces the people to obey the laws that are announced. The story shows the character Harrison as if he is superman, but the film does not show that at all.…

    Menace to Society

    The interesting element in this movie is that it not only reflects the social problems, but also provides reason for the negative social behavior. Another reason is that this movie provides a chance to study the social problems and other concerns associated with the Blacks in that society. Despite the fact that this movie is directly about the crime and violence in Blacks, there are various symbolic interaction in this movie that proves the problems of social hatred and conflicts in the society due to the structure and function of society. There are various theories of sociology which can assist in understanding all these factors presented in this movie.…

    The film showed the reality of life in urban New York City during the crack epidemic. Most of what was seen in the movie was based on real life actions of various drug dealers throughout the city. Crack destroyed people’s lives and is one of the most destructive drugs ever created. This movie really showed that side of urban life.…

    4 Little Girls Reflection Essay

    This movie also gave out a great deal of information about the Civil Rights struggle in Birmingham. It did a wonderful job of laying out the facts and and events leading up to the church bombing. Unfortunately, it took their deaths to act as the wakeup call to America concerning the racism and Civil Rights movement in the south. The scenes with George Wallace are outrageous, considering that his segregationist policies, in a way, led to the deaths of the girls. The scene where he introduces a black man that he doesn’t even know, as his “best friend” in a lame attempt at repentance, is pitiful in how pathetic he seems to be in trying to clean up his image, after the fact.…

    Broken on all sides

    The film talks about the racial inequality within our criminal justice system. I personally think that the film definitely made me think again about the incarceration and criminal justice system because what we saw in the film was not something that everyone across the country knows about. I think it was a good film to educate community and point out about this critical issue. The United States has the highest crime rate and incarceration rate in the world. It sounds frightening but it is the truth. In my opinion the biggest reasons for this mass incarceration were these two factors; being “tough on crime” and the drug war. Intersection of race and poverty within the system became tough on African Americans because they are making up the big portion of the prison population. It could be some kind of movement towards Black community if you consider the numbers but again it is devastating.…

    Black Like Me and Crash

    Black Like Me and Crash

    The book Black Like Me and the film Crash have many connections that can be drawn to one another. For one, the main focus of the two works is racism, but they take place in very different times. Black Like Me takes place back when racism was very blatant and obvious. Crash shows how modern day racism is not a blatant, but still very prevalent in deeply held stereotypes and beliefs. Although Black Like Me only focuses of African Americans and Crash is on all races they are still related. The stereotype that African Americans are more aggressive and violent is seen in both of the works. Another interesting thing that is seen in both of the works is that there is one character who disregards his race just to rise higher and become accepted socially. In Black Like Me this character is Christophe, who is a well dressed black man who seems to hate his own race and he stands up for the white people and wants to be one of them. In Crash the character that represents this is the police chief. He hears about how one officer has racist tendencies but he disregards them because he says that it will look bad on his record if there are racist police officers under a “black man’s” command.…

    Movies That Impacted Society's Culture

    One of my favorite John Singleton movies, “Boyz 'N The Hood,” is always on BET and I had considered it to be a huge impact on society. “Boyz 'N The Hood” introduced America to the reality that exists when living in poverty as many families do when you reside in the ghetto. As it relates to our society, John Singleton’s masterpiece portrays life in the hood; it covers issues such as the struggles of children raised up in a single parent household, under the adversity of violence, gang involvement, drug abuse, and poverty. Of the three main characters, Tre, Ricky, and Doughboy, Tre has only fatherly support, while Ricky and Doughboy, who are brothers, are raised by their mother.…
