The Godfather

CAPOS presents as a proposed one-hour dramatic, crime pilot. It’s inspired by true events. The series focuses on the gritty and violent world of drug smuggling. As presented, the world is very authentic and believable. The series has a unique hook, as it centers on the Mexico-US cartel connection. It’s fascinating to watch the drug smuggling trade world unfold, especially in Mexico where they use young kids. There’s no doubt that there are many gritty stories to be told and it’s easy to envision…

The genesis of all drug cartels in Mexico trace to a Mexican Judicial Federal Police agent Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo also known as "The Godfather". He was the founder of the “Guadalajara Cartel”, which controlled all illegal drug trade in and around Mexico’s border in 1980. Since 2006, the Mexican military have intervened with a goal of stopping all drug-related violence consisting inside Mexico’s borders, leaving drug trafficking a problem to the United States. The ongoing fight against drug…

What do movies like The Wizard Of Oz, The Godfather, and Star Wars have in common? These movies aren’t just good, they aren’t just great. They’re classics. But what makes these movies a masterpiece? Most would say the actors or the script, which is true. But these are not what leaves you walking out of the theatre with a smile on your face. Every movie is like a puzzle, and each element is a puzzle piece. All of these pieces come together to create the film, and if any of the pieces are missing…

Robert De Niro has made a career playing gangsters and hardened criminals in films like ‘Goodfellas’, ‘Casino’ and ‘The Godfather: Part II’, which is why it’s so resoundingly impactful when he plays a nice, emotionally susceptible man in films like ‘Meet the Parents’. Nancy Meyer’s has made a career capitalizing on subtle feminism and perfectly encapsulating periods in life. Anne Hathaway is one of the best actresses to ever grace the silver screen, and she’s never made a film in which her charm…

The only thing that was life changing is that my dad changed jobs from working in Iowa city and being gone all the time, to switching jobs in Clarence so I’d see him more. When I was littler, me and my brothers would get up super early Christmas morning so that we could hopefully open all the presents that were underneath the tree. We would separate the presents and try to figure out what was inside each one, while we waited for our parents to get up. Sometimes we would only be able to open one…

International Relations Article Essay The two pieces that I will be discussing are Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points speech and the article written by Matthias Matthijs and R. Daniel Kelemen, Europe Reborn: How to Save the European Union From Irrelevance. I will be explaining what points both pieces are trying to make as well as what points of view they are coming from. In Woodrow Wilson’s speech he is approaching it from a liberal view and Matthijs and Kelemen are similarly using the perspective to…

Throughout the 1920’s cinema became established as the most popular and profitable mass media, and this continued until the 1960s. Historian A.J.P Taylor famously described it as “the essential social habit of the age”. People went to the movies as their main leisure activity. The social experience of cinema going was often an escape from what could be very difficult social conditions and the rise in cinema attendances during and just following World War Two were up to 31m per week in the UK…

The scene from The Forbidden Room that stood out to me the most was the in one of the submarine scenes where the guy said he need to breathe and ate a flapjack because they said earlier that there were oxygen inside the flapjacks. This film stood out to me because the submarine scene was the most intense since oxygen is really important and in the scene people were struggling for oxygen. Thus, I felt like this is the most reasonable scene and so I felt the most attached and relatable to it. So…

Annie Hall, directed by, written by and starring Woody Allen follows the life of Alvy Singer, a neurotic New-Yorker. Throughout the movie, he narrates his experiences as he ponders on the meaning of life and his failed relationship with Annie. The intellectual but comedic urban romance marked a turning point in Allen’s career earning him an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1977. Yet, this paper focuses on his counterpart played by Diane Keaton and how her performance shaped both the story’s…

4. A thematic dialogue between several early Modern Jewish literature prose is this discussion of exile. This is perhaps unsurprising, given exile of the Jewish people is often a narrative framework for the Jewish way of life. The roots of this theme can be traced in to one of the inaugural Jewish literary prose authors, Medele Mocher Sforim, who writes in Shem and Japeth on the Train, “life in exile-this precious gift from God’s store- belongs only to Jews-His chosen people” (Sforim 35). In…
