The protagonist in the movie Precious manifested many of the major issues that

adolescents go through. For one, she had low self-esteem. In her words, Precious described herself as an “ugly black grease, need to be wiped away” (Daniels, 2009). On her first day in Ms. Rain’s class, she didn’t think that she was good at anything when her teacher at her previous school knew very well that she was very good in math.

It could be assumed that her low self-esteem was caused by the way her mother

treated her. Her mother constantly beat her, treated her like a slave, and forced her to eat. Her mother said demeaning words to her and belittled her. As Precious surmised, “Momma said I can't dance. Plus, she ...

The pressure of being a single parent dealing with an adolescent daughter or son can be a handful.

However, on the other hand, the very unscientific nature of the experiment leaves the viewer questioning the real value of the experiment from a research perspective. For instance, in the course of the experiment Spurlock imposes some pretty unrealistic conditions which include eating only from the McDonald’s menu for every meal ...

Other characteristics, such as IQ, nice appearance, talent, or health did not play as an important role ...

Gender trends and perception differ from one region to another and from generation to generation. The definition of roles and societal expectations for women has changed over time. A good way to determine this is to examine the lives of women in earlier generations, in comparison to modern women. I interviewed Angela Baker, a sixty-year-old woman from Odessa Texas and realized that the gender perceptions from previous generations are different from contemporary issues in many aspects.
Angela grew up in Mississippi, in a conservative African American family. They did not have much, and life took a struggle to get ...

“Waiting for ‘Superman’” is a powerful documentary movie that highlights and explores the issues and problems with American education system.

Morgan Spurlock wanted to answer the question of “What would happen if someone ate McDonald’s food for every meal of every day for a month?” in light of criminal suits leveled against the fast food giant. Throughout the documentary, he highlights the philosophic dilemma at the center of the litigation: Where does the responsibility of the obesity epidemic fall? On one hand, you could ask, “Shouldn’t a person know not to eat fast food too often and that it’s harmful for them? If they eat too much, then that’s their fault.” And, on the ...

One of the most widespread epidemics in the United States is childhood obesity. More and more kids are turning to fast food chains for their lunches and dinners because of ease and taste. One documentary went out to prove that going this route is not only unhealthy for you, but it is also detrimental to the society as a whole. Morgan Spurlock states “40 percent of Americans eat out” (Spurlock 2004) which adds to the ever growing epidemic. People are choosing to eat out rather than cook a meal at home. Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me set out to prove ...

In the past years, movies marked as “based on real events” appear more often. Moreover, some of the researchers, as well as ordinary viewers claim that almost every movie is based on real events. The point is that sometimes directors as well as screen play writers tend to exaggerate the importance and cruelty of some events. In the most cases, it happens in horror movies or some documentaries. The point is that the main idea of every documentary is to convince people in something. This essay is devoted to the issue of veracity of the events in three movies: ...

1995's Dangerous Minds, the urban school drama directed by John N. Smith and starring Michelle Pfeiffer, tells the tale of real-life teacher LouAnne Johnson, who dramatically transformed the lives of kids at an inner-city school through dedication and innovative teaching practices - all the while dealing with sensitive issues of race and violence in schools and the inner city. While its intentions are noble, Dangerous Minds tends to warp Johnson's story into a treacly, overly sentimental mess that cannot be saved by a strong cast and assured direction. In the end, the overt melodrama and incredibly simplified morality of the film undercuts ...

Personal Reflection

The movie was a real eye opener for me. Until I saw it, I never really understood what happened to cause the 2008 meltdown. I never understood what the big deal was about home mortgages. All I knew then was that the U.S. and the world were in a financial crisis.

The movie made me realize how complex and complicated it all was. It was quite surprising for me to learn that the fate of the American economy – probably even that of the world – lay in the hands of a few powerful men. I was especially struck by what Timothy Geithner told ...

The original home of the children was a place built with love and care, where people were proud of their culture and languages (Miller, 84). The children lead a dull life, full of mistreatments and agony while the teachers enjoy everything. ...

And The Band Played On is a documentary about the AIDS epidemic that is based on the book. The book (and the movie itself) has an interesting title and I think it means that no matter what the circumstances, everybody just kept going on as usual, like nothing was wrong.

I would like to agree with Michael Moore for producing such an informative documentary. In deed, Bowling for Columbine presents a real scenario on gun violence and the mysteries surrounding the April 20, 1999 Columbine High School massacre in which Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students along side their teacher (Howe, D., 2002).
