Training Day With Denzel Washington

Decent Essays
At the first of the movie, I thought Ryan Phillippe was one of the best cop that you will meet because he shown great levels of integrity but he wasn’t. When he seen the bad action of his fellow office, Matt Dillon, he didn’t want nothing to do with it. I believe riding with him is kind of like that movie Training Day with Denzel Washington. But he showed so many good actions in the first part of the movie, that I was like this guy is just an all-around good guy. He done the right thing and got own his own and when he met back up with the husband he done the guy a big favor because of that night is wife was touched inappropriate. The film to me is trying to present that everyone has a little prejudice in them. I am to believe that it even

    The four films serve our historic visualization of the past’s realities. What the four films share strongest are the representations of African Americans in the past, and what we can see as immoral today. The earliest of the four films Within Our Gates by Oscar Mischuax depicts a lot of these historical messages/representations that all four films share. The title says it all, it brings an inside perspective of what it would have been like as an African American in the 1920’s. During this race film era we have the infamous Birth of a nation that paved the way for false black stereotypes of the future.…

    At first the movie was all about one group thinking they were better than the other group all because they had something that the others did not. They are stereotyping the other Sneetches. In the book, On Course, it describes that once our minds have jumped to a stereotype that we then generalize it so that any that we perceive to fit that stereotype is lumped in as well whether it is right or wrong. Eventually throughout the film after many bumps along the way the Sneetches were able to realize that it did not matter who was different or who was the same. They were all Sneetches and so they should all work together and get along.…

    There is hope for a better reality of Americans when the few come together as a group, exposing themselves and others, and the documentaries Tough Guise 2 and Miss Representation speak to men and women and how they can change their bad gender image sold to them by the media. Tough Guise 2 observes men bred by the media to be leaders in America’s violent crimes. Miss Representation observes the role the entertainment industry plays in defining gender roles, but takes a closer look at what women can do to fight gender inequality in political spectrums where their positive example is lacking in areas where males predominate, and therefore attempts to do something about gender representation. Without diverse input from men outside the realm of the most famous, both documentaries miss an opportunity to reach an audience of men that could use their power to stand up against the plight of gender misrepresentation in the media.…

    This brilliant film leaves its audience to think twice about judging other people who might not be as different from themselves as they had originally thought. The way this movie portrays how such different personalities come to learn to accept and respect one another gives me hope that more people will judge with their heart instead of their eyes. As a teenager, I know that the majority of high school students struggle to fit in with their peers, who are ironically probably trying to do the same. In the beginning of the film, it shows five teenagers in saturday detention, all who are categorized in different groups; the criminal, the athlete, the basket…

    The drama, "Gran Torino" provides a surprisingly enlightened view at understanding cultural diversity within a rapidly evolving American neighborhood. The movie interjects the need for communication, understanding, and a return to middle class values in a youth oriented culture. "Gran Torino" expresses an issue that has been one of conflict in our society today; racism. Walt Kowalski's attitude towards minorities seems very prejudice and close-minded. I believe "Gran Torino" is about two things.…
