Movie 13 Analysis

Decent Essays
The movie makes me furious towards the president’s. I am reacting this way because me as a hispanic male, i hate it when the president's are only trying to help their own race progress, and make everyone else suffer his wrath, instead of helping them in an equal manner. Like for example, in the movie 13 shows that reagan was running a racial campaign to combat the war on drugs, but then was later exposed by his partner in crime that he wants to crack down on african americans. I am feeling this way right now because, we as mexican americans are going through a similar situation, where mexicans are being depicted as rapist, killers, and ect… by our new president donald trump. I did not know that the presidents from the past were childish and

    In the changing society that we live in, how much is really changing? The documentary 13th shines light on the current and former issues that lie in the justice system involving the unreasonable arrest of minority citizens. By using keen editing skills, along with text and audio paired together, the film effectively shares that “the opposite of criminalization is humanization” (13th film), although the lack of counter arguments and the excessive scare tactics may explain why some feel that it shows “serious lack of political sophistication” (National Review). Ava DuVernay, director of 13th, has been known to focus on one particular matter in her previous works.…

Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh.” In comedy, the only characteristic shared between comedies is their want to make people laugh, and it can be difficult to pull off such a seemingly simple task. As defined by the New Oxford American Dictionary, Category: A class or division of people or things regarded as having particular shared characteristics.
