The Color Purple, directed by Steven Spielberg, illustrates the consequences of abuse and staying with the abuser. Victims are not at fault for staying with their abusive spouse, for the abuser deliberately manipulates and traps them. In addition, women are restricted by society’s stereotypical…
In addition to a lot of just very wealthy people (one of them later told that he had entrusted Bernard $11 million, that is 95% of his capital), the list included several dozen large charitable foundations (including, for example, charitable Steven Spielberg Foundation) and the world's leading banks. It cannot be said that Bernard's activity did not cause any questions. One day, it even came to a scandal. A meticulous expert publicly stated that the results of his fund's activities declared…

“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being gangster is better than being president of the United States.” It is the first voice over line from Henry in Goodfellas; and it also sets the tone of the whole film. Martin Scorsese builds an incredible but also cruel gangster world in 146 minutes. Scorsese tells us a story from the angle of the most basic and lowest level gangsters. It is also the same story-telling angle in Mean Street. We can feel the main…
