Honor Thy Father Reflection

Decent Essays
Honestly, I don’t know how I will start this reaction paper of mine, because I was confused at the beginning of the movie and eventually I fell asleep a little bit. Since this is a reaction paper the content of this will be my reaction and opinion about the movie, so no one cares whatever I say here because this is my own opinion and I have my own point of view. You don’t have the right to judge me because you should respect my own opinion. Don’t worry everything that I will say here is all about the movie, of course. I understand the movie in the scene wherein the people enter their house and get everything they can and they even beat John Lloyd without any hesitation. To be honest I was totally shocked why those people did that to them, so …show more content…
Honor thy father is a movie that you can relate in real life situation and in the things that are really happening in our country. The movie is as well a great representation of our society and serves as an eye opener to the people who are not aware of what’s going on or those people that don’t care at all, all they think is all about their selves. This movie also shows that there is no good in human; all of us are sinners and we are easily blinded by money. The movie reflects that we people are run by money. It also shows that no matter how many right things you did, people will only remember the one mistake you made. The situation that Edgar entered is not just a simple problem, but it is a life equivalent problem. If he does not solve that, his family might be put into 6 feet underground and lighten up a candle. The situation he entered is a no easy way out. If I were in his situation I honestly don’t know what will I do, or else I will just point a gun into my head and pull the trigger. That kind of problem is so hard to escape, that is why I can’t blame Edgar about all the things that he have done because that is his technique or “diskarte” to solve his …show more content…
We must work hard in everything that we do and make sure to play fair. This movie is a real eye opener especially for us because we are the future of this country and it is very important that we are aware of the happenings in our country.

No matter what happen we should not just give up, we must try and try until we succeed in what we are achieving in life.

    Standout Moment Analysis

    There are many standout moments that I would like to mention, but first I would like to say that I am very impressed with this film, I always have been wondering all these things and I like the fact that we are learning about them in this class. The first standout moment for me was when the man and his family lost their farm. It called my attention because my family and some families from this area had to go through this same situation a few years ago. Second standout moment: the pilots’ salaries from 16,000 to 22,000 yearly! That’s ridiculous, some of them had to ask for food stamps, some of them have a second job, that remind me a time when a met a paramedic working at a warehouse, I asked him why he was working there, and he told me that he was getting pay more there for opening boxes than saving lives and even though he loved to be a paramedic he needed the money.…

    Violence is an extreme way of solving problems. If an issue can’t be settled diplomatically, then people turn to violence; war rages, weapons are used, and harm is done. Sometimes these problems arise when people expect to be shown hospitality, or when they are not good guests. This may not have been a prevalent issue in ancient Greek culture because people were supposed to be hospitable, but surely it happened, as shown in The Odyssey. When people are staying somewhere where they aren’t welcome or wanted there will be repercussions regardless of the culture.…

    As I searched the web to watch Live From Baghdad, I prepared myself for a boring and dry documentary. I had assumed this would be about current coverage of our Iraq War. The opening scene was a standard reenactment in my eyes, akin to America’s Most Wanted. It wasn’t until the faces of Michael Keaton and Paul Guilfoyle appeared on the screen that I realized I wasn’t watching a documentary at all.…

    I personally enjoyed the film, although they suggested the events that were to occur later, I kept watching with enthusiasm because I wanted to see how they would play out. The diction that the brothers used throughout the film created a negative attitude towards them, although Winthorpe and Billy Ray were the ones to be involved in a legal mess, other characters gained sympathy. Ophelia and Coleman were the ones I was rooting for, they had a job of taking care of others needs from the beginning of the film, and were taken advantage of without receiving appreciation. The wealthy characters such as Penelope and her friends, through the diction and the events were not very liked. The story plaid on a serious issue, which was people’s overwhelming need to consume no matter who or how many people they took advantage of.…
