Finain's Rainbow: Film Analysis

Decent Essays
Finain's Rainbow was about a guy(woody) who steels the gold of leprechaun. Also the police think a women(sheran) is a witch but it was really the leprechaun. Also there is one person who is silent but then the leprechaun made her to talk. The leprechaun also made a black man white. The leprechaun wanted to be a leprechaun again because the man took his gold and he was turning human but then he found the gold. In my opinion, yes, I think that the message of Finain's Rainbow has effect. The movie was really racist, and the movie was really rude to black people. Also I think that the message was don't judge people weather if your a leprechaun, a witch, white, or black, you should never judge people no matter

    The 1989 film “Glory” is an historical film based on the true events of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, which took place on June 18, 1863 in Charleston, South Carolina. The 54th regiment was one of the first infantries to enlist Black soldiers in the war and was led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Despite their shortcomings and adversities as African American men in America, these men were tenacious and very determined to succeed the war at Fort Wagner. Although this film highlights these powerful and impactful scenes that occurred on that fateful night, a majority of these scenes were over exaggerated and sugarcoated for a much more cinematic effect.

    The dog movie “The Champions” I found to be a touching and profoundly dramatic film about the pit bulls rescued from the brutal fighting ring of former Atlanta Falcon’s star quarterback Michael Vick. It chronicled those brave individuals that risk it all to save them, overcoming much pressure from PETA and the Humane Society to euthanize them. The film successfully exposed the prejudice and much misunderstanding while slowly eradicating the myths surrounding this breed. The documentary unfolds the journey of five of the dogs such as Handsome Dan, Jonny and Little Red to name a few, and their second chance on life and their supreme power of resilience and the true significance of the Human- Animal Bond. It features several rescue organizations such as Best Friends Animal Society of southern Utah, BADRAP centered in Oakland, California and individual families who reached out to these creatures with love and compassion.…

    A rather depressing movie, “The Blue Kite” recalls the story of a small, poor family in China, in the 50’s and 60’s, during the hundred flowers movement, and the ‘cultural revolution’. We follow the family through various phases of their lives, starting from the 50’s, at the start of the communist regime. One could say the initially positive outlook in the Chinese community is visible in all the characters living in the compound. However, we see this positivity turn to discontent and a feeling of helplessness as the movie progresses through its chapters. This is very visible when in the beginning the neighborhood party representatives go and visit Ms. Lan’s house, asking if she has contributed to the state by giving assets.…
