Kazantzakis “In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can” Dreams do come true as long a person can work for it and believe it then they can build it. I believe it is worth it to dream. It is worth it to dream because,It is worth it to dreams, because it makes people work harder and learn new things even if their dream doesn’t come true, dreaming is worth it to wait and dreams inspire other people to follow theirs.It is worth it to dreams, because it makes people work harder and…

NIMBY stands for “Not In My Backyard” and it’s an organizational group that protests the placement of hazardous sites in their neighborhoods.

Fall River, Massachusetts is not nearly the poorest urban neighborhood of the United States. Its people have not endured any fraction of the strife, poverty, violence, or tumult that residents of the South Bronx have. Its schools are functional, its neighborhoods are diverse, its hospital systems – though similarly understaffed and sometimes unhelpful – operate smoothly. In 2012, Fall River was ranked among the top “100 Best Communities for Young People” in America (“2012 Competition Winners”).…

Nor does the film seem concerned about character development. This unorthodox technique made it hard for me to follow the movie, as I am more attuned to the traditional formulaic Hollywood style of filmmaking. I spent the first 25-30 minutes waiting for the plot to unfold. Yet, I now realize that it is the omission of a plot that makes the film…
