racial diversity in modern television has led to many awful things such as; stations claiming to be racially diverse but just end up making fun of cultures with outdated stereotypes, also many holly wood block busters have little to none of the leads cast as anyone other than white male and female leads, I am also saddened to include award shows to the list of things contributing to the horrendous separation of whites and blacks in movies and television. So due to the facts about modern day…

technical assistance, all had impressive commitment and efforts from every individual behind the production. When it ended and the mesmerizing spell cast upon me had lapsed, I was left with profound astonishment, ‘Wow…… was that really a school play?’ I thought the choice of the play was great.

It shows the graphic and horrific side of the war in the Pacific and how relentless the Japanese Army was. The plot of the film, performances of the cast, and authenticity of the film will all be criticized in this review, and will intend to show you how excellent this movie was, why you should go see it, and how it changes the model for future war movies.

Some people, films, books, and art are considered to be timeless and whatever allows someone or something to achieve this reputation is the value it has and the lessons and sentiments that it provokes. The book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered to be timeless and the original movie’s reputation is not viewed as being any lesser. In fact, in recent years the movie was even remade into a more technologically advanced film. Even though both of the movies are based on the same…

happy. But why would society keep so many people from finding true happiness? Usually it is because these people that want to be happy are usually considered strange, or weird. This has become prolific throughout literature as characters are often cast aside and ignored because they are looking for true happiness.
