• Every second of every day someone somewhere in the world is committing thievery and stealing from someone. • Rather it be in the music industry, the movies or taking credit for someone else’s idea, stealing is something that happens all the time in different ways, sometimes we don’t even realize we are pilfering. II. Music: • At one time Music was as simple as turning on the radio. It was 100% free to listen, of course the radio listener could not govern what song would be played, and not…

to release huge movies. Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Avatar, and Titanic have all seen gigantic numbers during this time of the year. This makes Winter the new Summer for movies. Sure, there are now Avengers films being released at that time, but December is where they roll out the films that could be nominated for awards. If you take a look at this holiday season — I have taken a guess at starting from October 1st – January 6th, because October 1st is the first official time I saw a…

Paris is Burning is an iconic film that gives the heterosexual world a look into the underground scene of queer culture that is the ballroom. The film presented new slang and phrases that people in the present still use, but the stories and the issues of the oppressed are often overlooked and forgotten. At the time of release in the 1990s, gay culture was still somewhat misunderstood, but Paris is Burning portrayed the struggles that gay individuals experience every day. The movie showed that…

The adventure novel The Hunger Games has become a famous movie and chapter book. They are beloved by many people, but there is a debate on which is better. The movie or the book. I am going to tell my point of view on which version is superior. The movie and the book are very important because they both show two different points of view and have many differences and both show many different things. The hunger games series has made about three books. The first book is called the hunger games, the…

The Miles Ahead movie is very different from the previous jazz performances I attended, of course that was anticipated considering it's a movie about Miles Davis not an actual live concert. To start, I did not like this movie. To me, the movie portrayed Miles Davis as a bad-ass, ready to kill man, instead of a wonderful performer which he was and still is. The Evolution of Jazz book depicted Miles Davis differently than the movie did, in the textbook they showed Miles as a musician ready to…

the names, there are many other differences that set the two apart. Treasure Island’s vivid theme, plot, setting, and list of characters was much more superior than that of Treasure Planet. Most of the characters from the novel remain in the film version but have been altered in some way. The others are simply absent. Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver remain as the main focus. In Treasure Planet Jim is made out to be a juvenile delinquent whose father abandon him when he was a small…

In “Baka: Cry from the Rainforest,” the is film focused on a Baka family and their lifestyle. The film represents The Baka in a believable manner. I have not read or done any research on The Baka but I think that this film provides accurate and unbiased views. The film doesn’t seem to exclude any information that could be biased. The film really portrays how Indigenous people live and the issues that they are facing. A scene that represents these changes that stands out is the whole sequence of…

For this assignment I chose the Blindside. There are a couple reasons I chose this movie, one being it is the only movie I had on DVD, and the other being that it has to do with my future career. I hope to work with adoption and foster care, as well as low income communities. This movie was filmed and publicized in 2009, and was based off of a true story. The story line is about a character named Michael Oher, or in the beginning he is called Big Mike. Within minutes of the movie, you learn that…
