Segment With An Special Interview Of Wigand
483 wordsThe Insider Not long ago Big Tobacco was spanked with billions of dollars in settlement money for class action lawsuits, due largely to the courage of whistleblower scientist Dr. Jeffrey Wigand. The former chief of a scientific research department with a major tobacco company, Wigand was fired for speaking out against the use of lethal, addictive chemicals added to cigarettes. He was also made to sign a confidentiality agreement, effectively silencing him. Wigand testified, against great odds, a...

Clique Groups
842 wordsThe breakfast club was to say the least a boring 80's movie. But it was a good movie for the purpose of analysis. Simply put, it will not be on my list of movies to rent next time that I am at the rental store. I chose to explain the points of view of Andrew, the jock, and Allison the loner / quite person. I will also be making use of the key terms Clique Groups, and Identity Crisis. At the start of the movie, Allison was a person off in a corner by herself. She didn't talk to anyone, she knew t...

2,103 wordsPeople in America today seem to be only concerned with them. They are always looking out for number one. That is a saying that has been taught to us for years. Along with another popular precept: you can't please everyone all of the time. These are just a couple of examples of how Americans are taught to be selfish. Sure, mom and dad always teach generosity to their young children, but in this society, those lessons diminish with age. We learn that life isn't always fair and people don't always ...

Back To Birdee's Home Town Of Smithville
1,776 wordsHope Floats The movie I decided to watch is called Hope Floats. This is a great movie, and it not only should be about love, but it showed me about life. Do you think you can fix your life and get it back on the right track all on your own? All you have to do is just have to give hope a chance and believe that everything will get better someday. There is always a time in everyone's life when something horrible happens. Sometimes it something that changes your very course of life in an instant. T...

Glengarry Glen Ross
743 wordsFilm Assignment I have this opinion that America "a land of opportunity" and also a "rat race". Why I say both of them? First, it is because, for me, America is a land of opportunity. Everybody has the opportunity to work as long as they have the willing to work, the work ethic. It's just not everybody has the willing to work because the government will support those people who are unemployed. Like foreign students for example. The INS gives foreign students the "practical training" permit, so t...

Local Pizza Restaurant And Movie Theater
695 wordsNovelty Never Lasts One thing I have recently begun to learn in life is that the novelty of anything, given a little bit of time, no matter how fascinating or unusual it was at first, usually wears off quicker than one would prefer. I have found this to apply to nearly everything I have experienced in my life, and a frightening term comes to mind. 'jaded. ' At least it should be frightening to a mere seventeen year old, with so much left to do in life. I am more than confident that this is just ...

My Grandfather's Death
1,466 wordsDeath: Good for the Dead, Bad for the Dying, and Worse for Those It Leaves Behind My whole life, death has been a distant thing to me. It is not even really a thing, but more of an idea. I have heard about death millions of times with the media. Everyday in the news, people are dying left and right with disease in the foreign countries, famine in distant lands, and even murder in the suburbs. I even heard about it a few times from my friends when they told me about their recent loses. With all o...

Day In Audio Class
470 wordsThe stories have been all over the television, radio, papers and we have been bombarded by the images that will be hard to forget. On September 11th, 2001 the United States was attacked when four planes were hijacked by terrorists. These planes were forced to crash in to the World Trade center buildings (the Twin Towers). Its hard to believe that anything else but this will be talked about for the next while. I first heard of the attack when I was released from my audio class to go for break. I ...

Lester The Greatest Inspiration
1,110 wordsA lot of people try to "look closer" to analyse the movie, but they don't realise that they " re facing the wrong direction. A great saying that holds a great deal of truth for this movie is: "Before you can help others, you have to help yourself". Now this may sound like a selfish attitude but it's not. It basically means that if you " re not the best person you can possibly be, then how can you expect to mend the relationships you have with the people around you? Lester found himself in a rut ...

Several Scenes In The Movie
768 wordsThe movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou", though loosely based on the "Odyssey", has many things in common with the play written by Homer. There is a parallelism between certain characters and occurrences in the movie and in the book. An obvious similarity between the movie and play is that Ulysses (the Latin name for Odysseus) is trying to get home to his wife, Penny, and children in Ithaka, Mississippi. In the "Odyssey" Odysseus is trying to reach his spouse, Penelope and son in Ithaka, Greece. ...

Bateman
1,012 wordsWhat do you get when you combine a warped mind of a Manhattan stockbroker and a suave, classy well-built exterior? You get an American psycho and the title of a brilliant yet not so easily accepted book by Bret Easton Ellis. Canadian director Mary Harron, known for her work with the cult movie "I Shot Andy Warhol', really took on a handful when she decided to put Ellis's work to the big screen. Though the film is not readily received by those with a not-so-open mind, it is indeed properly apprec...
