It is possible like for the movie called the ”Town“ that show a movie about a group of gangster that committed a crime in robbing a bank and held a employee from the bank as hostage in order to escape. The problem is that employee was held hostage from the bank became a witness and was dating with one of the member that was from the group of gangster that committed a crime in robbing a bank. The witness was being suspected in being accomplice and was forced to cooperate with the cops in order to arrest the gangster that committed the crime to prove the witness’s innocence. The irony of this movie named ”Town“ had cops as a bad guy in the film and I plan on rooting for the bad guy. The bad guy that I always considered is the cop instead of the gangster in this movie.

For instance in the movie show the cop forced a witness to cooperate with …show more content…

    Paper Towns: Book vs Movie I’ve chosen to write about the differences between the book Paper Towns and the movie, basically what they didn’t include and what they changed in the film adaption. Personally I would say that I prefer the book before the movie, because the book is obviously more detailed and you get to read about the character's backstory and get to know them better. The author, who co-produced the film, made a video on youtube where he talked about the fact that the movie will be like the book but at the same time it will not.…

    The Debut (2000) was a film presenting the positive aspects of the Filipino culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face. This film is one of the first films I’ve viewed which portrays an Asian culture as what it truly is. Unlike many other films and scenes in Hollywood cinema, this film did not use negative stereotypes or derogatory topics as its main base. Director Gene Cajayon is from the Filipino agency and grew up in its heritage; this reflects on the films true use of Tagalog, traditions, relationships, and cultural values. What was particularly enjoyable was the scenes of dancing and singing that are accurate presentations of the Tinikling dance with string instruments.…

    The film The Believer, is a film about Danny Balint who is a Jewish boy that becomes a neo-Nazi. He grows up to be an angry, violent guy, attacking Judaism and Jews. Throughout the film, the paradoxical anti-Semitic view of Jewish self-hatred can be seen but along with this, viewers see that as much as Danny hates Jews and Judaism, he cares about the traditions as well. Although Danny kills himself, thus ending the protagonist, the ending of the film is inconclusive. One could argue that Danny chose to take his own life because of his internal struggle between being a neo-Nazi and a Jew.…
