    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…

    Little Miss Sunshine was the feel good movie of the summer, opening on July 26, 2006. The minds behind the camera were Michael Arndt, who wrote the screenplay, and directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The movie would not have come together if it had not been for the awesome cast that brought it all together, Abigail Breslin, Paul Dano, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, and Alan Arkin. Not one of the 17 awards and nominations for the movie and cast could have happened if it had not been for Fox Searchlight Pictures and Big Beach production companies for believing in bringing the story to the big screen.…

    Soaked, little, and naked is how the viewer finds Susanna in the middle of Girl, Interrupted. Or rather, soaked, little, naked, and hysterical. A state James Mangold utilizes to further illustrate his message. The film serves as a vehicle for Mangold to discuss madness and the society it exists within. Valerie, the asylum’s registered nurse, throws Susanna, the film’s suicidal protagonist, into a tub filled with water in order to snap Susanna out of her depressed state. Susanna lashes out at Valerie with every hurtful vulgarity she has within her. Despite this, Valerie remains calm and collected. In this interaction between Susanna and Valerie, madness is portrayed in its most basic form; it is an ongoing battle between the individual and the environment surrounding it. The individual is a victim of his environment, overwhelmed into regurgitating the detritus surrounding him that are readily filtered and suppressed by those deemed sane by society.…

    more about the public image that they worried about. To make profit, the people being put on display have to look attractive enough to guarantee their movie sells. At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    I will be writing about 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. This movie is about a girl who gets into an accident that results in brain damage. Then she experiences a form of amnesia called “Goldfield’s Syndrome” according to the movie. Basically, Goldfields syndrome doesn’t allow Drew to form new memories, but doesn’t erase what she knew before the accident. She can remember up to one day, then she relives the next day as if it was the first day after the accident, over and over again. The movie has its strengths and weaknesses in accurately portraying the memory. For the most part, I believe the movie did a good job portraying it.…

    “Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all.”(Martin Luther King Jr.). Violence and racism are both important motifs in, Do the Right Thing (Lee, 1989). They are prominent in almost every scene of the film and lead to the climax when Radio Raheem is killed by the police. Spike Lee used many different directorial techniques in his movie. Heat and music were an example of this and were prominent throughout the movie. They were clever ways that Lee got across his ideas, they brought the audience into the movie. They helped immerse you in the movie and made you feel as if you were feeling the heat. I had never seen a Lee movie before and was not let down by Do the Right Thing. It was a film that really grabbed your attention and kept your attention because of the strong characters and controversial main ideas. Mookie, The Mayor, and Sal are just a few characters that were important to the central theme of the story. They all represented a different voice of reason when it came to problems in the neighborhood, but one thing remained the same. Violence and racial intolerance are not the answer to problems in black America, the only way to survive as a community is to come together and get educated on the subject.…
