by Paul Haggis was taken place in Los Angeles. This movie illustrates how discrimination and prejudice has affected our everyday lives‚ due to the misconceptions we have of each other. All the characters in this movie are either victims of prejudice and discrimination or are guilty of it. To help us give more understanding about this movie I am comparing the movie Crash to Joseph Healey textbook‚ Race‚ Ethnicity‚ Gender & Class. In this movie we see a wide range and depth of prejudice and discrimination

Since I am not a fan of viewing blood‚ and the violent actions that causes it; I decided to watch a movie in which the violence is less grotesque. The movie that I chose to watch was "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

If you look at "Harry Potter" through a uses and gratifications perspective‚ children would most likely watch

The movie “Moonlight” was very interesting to me. It covers bullying‚ abuse‚ finding yourself‚ peer pressure‚ etc. things like this happen every day people just don’t pay attention to it or want to believe what it really is.

The major theme of this movie was to not judge a book by its cover without

thI found this movie to be disturbing to watch at some points‚ but it was mainly sad most of the time. It was one the most powerful movies I have ever seen! In my opinion‚ I find it horrific for the parents of these widows to even accept the fact of basically giving up their young daughters to men much older than them. I also feel that it was a very cruel lifestyle these widows had lived. Just because their husband had passed away doesn’t mean they have to live in such misery for the rest of their
