  • Later In The Movie Shrek
    511 words
    Film Response It's always hard to pick a single favorite movie, because there are so many good ones. If I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between Gladiator, and Old School. I have a hard time choosing between comedy, and action. I would have to say that Gigli staring Ben Affleck, and J-lo is the least favorite movie of mine. In my opinion Gigli had a bad plot, bad acting, and was to long. I recently have seen the Client which was writer by John Grissom. The Client was originally a b...

  • Movie Norma Rae
    699 words
    Norma Rae. It is easy to see why the film, Norma Rae, received great praise at the time of its making. Sally Field gives a heart wrenching performance, providing a realistic portrayal of the shockingly oppressive working climate of the blue-collar worker.

Nevertheless, the director successfully portrayed reality through exhibition of a certain culture, language, gender rolling and othe...

It also showed that many of the Indians do not have a lot of money and while they are living on the Rez money is not that big of an issue. My...
