Captain Phillips (2013)
Captain Philips Review
This was a really good film. There may be a lot of talking but the action makes up for the talking. I like how they show where the pirates come from and how they live. It makes one feel sympathy for the actions the pirates are committing. I like the actors they chose to represent all the main characters. Something that I felt was very overkill was how many american soldiers they needed for one little boat.
Apollo 13 (1995)
Apollo 13 Review
This movie was okay. It is not a movie to keep teenagers entertained in a class. The reason is because there is not a lot to relate to. People in general like to relate to things. The movie dragged on a lot to me. It is not a movie i would watch out of school. What i can say is that the characters were all so realistically portrayed and the film was well directed. But the movie is really slow and is not my type of movie.
Remember the Titans (2000)
Remember The Titans Review
This is a really great film. I really recommend this film to other people. This gives us a good look on how people have overcome ignorance and racism. My favorite scene in the movie is when all the titans run to Gettysburg and Coach Boone gives them a speech on the people who have died to have equal rights. I can tell that was the turning point for almost all the football players. That scene gave me goosebumps. I also like how once they all got along they started to play a lot better, and it showed against the rest of the other teams. Their are a lot of high schools that still deal with segregation and racism in the deep south.
Marshall (2017)
Marshall Review
This movie was great. The actors chosen for this movie was really good. They really did a good job on playing their character. This movie also did a good job showing the struggles a black man has in court. Even though this movie was base in the 1940's the same problems are still being seen today. Seeing that their is still segregation in this country like in the deep south the modern court system is still easier for the white male then a male of color. Even though there is the NAACP they can only do so much. But America is getting better on dealing with these problems and we are on that way and we are slowly but surely getting better.
West Side Story (1961)
West Side Story Review
This is a very good movie if you like musicals. I am not a big fan of musicals but the story line is very good. One can tell how race can show how people interact with each other. This movie also shows very conservative mindset of not mixing with an other race. The movie also show how this type of mindset effected people and what people had to deal with when they mix with other mindsets. This is still a problem people have to deal with in other countries, like Brazil. The movie was pretty good but it felt like it was a play on a very fake stage.
American Graffiti (1973)
Review for american Graffiti
This movie was very boring. I could not tell if it did a good job of representing teenagers in the 60's because i was not alive at the time. What i did like was the wardrobe. All the clouting looked nice and some of the pieces I would wear today. I did not understand why they never went home. They where outside all night. It would have been interesting to see what homes and what they did inside during those times. Women in this movie are treated poorly they are seen as property still. Also the women were really obedient to the men in the movie.
Hidden Figures: It All Adds Up - The Making of Hidden Figures (2017)
Review of Hidden Figures
I really enjoyed watching this film. It does a really good job of showing how much more a women has to do to gain a spot in the team. It also shows how much more an African American Lady has to work and put up with ignorance just to be excepted into the facility. This movie does a really good job of showing all the struggles women had to go through at work. But it also shows that there are people that want to help these African American people by, not seeing color. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Kevin Costner who was play Al Harrison gets rid of all the colored bathroom signs and says "here at NASA we all pee the same color.".
Selma (2014)
Selma Review
Selma was a very good movie. It did a really good job of keeping the audience on the edge of their seat. I always wanted to see what was going to happen next. The plot of the story was very good. the plot of the story had lots of interesting parts where one did not know what was going to happen. I also enjoyed all the emotions that were taking place. The actors did a really good job of making the audience feel the pain that the African Americans had to go through. It also does a very good job of showing how far this country has come in its civil rights movement. the music also helped tie everything together and helped with the emotions of the movie. How they dressed in the movie was really good. One could tell how much the people where segregated by their clothing. The white people would dress very different form the African Americans.
42 (2013)
42 for the win
I really enjoyed watching 42. Chadwick Boseman did an excellent job at playing Jackie Robinson. He really shows the ups and downs of the character. I like how they got all the props, it gave the movie a great feel of living in that era. It was a really inpiring movie of never giving up even when more then half a country dislike you for something that was out of your control. My favorite seen was when Jackie was getting his calf stitched and Branch rickie comes and tells Jackie why he is on the team.
Thirteen Days (2000)
Thirteen days of meh
This movie was very boring to me. It has a lot of great information, and it shows what lots of these polititions and what America has to go through during the Cold War. But I do am not the type of person who wants to be informed, during entertainment. The problem I had with this movie is before even watching the movie I generally knew what was going to happen. I knew that the U.S was not going to go to war with the Soviet Union, so that takes out the eximente of surprise as we all know nothing is really going to happen. I also did not like that the actor playing JFK didn't talk like JFK he sounded completely different. The positive I can find in this movie is that It really shows how worried everybody was and makes me great full that i don't have to deal with that worry of other countries starting a war and bombing the us (at least not as big of a worry)
Back to the Future (1985)
Back to the film
This is one of my favorite movies, as it is hits all of my interests. Like engineering, time travel/ conspiracies, action, and humor.
The plot of the story is great. I love how Marty goes back to his parents prime time in high school. The plot can also explain how one little effect can create a bigger problem.
History in the movie i feel like it is correct. The team to make this movie did a really good job of making one feel like they are in those two time periods that take place. The style of talk and dress looks to be accurate to that time period. Spielberg is a great director, other movies that I enjoyed watching from him include monster house, polar express, and my second favorite from him real steel. Micheal j Fox did a really good job playing the role of Marty Micfly. I don't beilive I have seen other movies from him.
My favorite part of the whole movie was the story. Time travel is so interesting to me. I also love the character of doc brown. As he is very optimistic and smart.
Walk the Line (2005)
Walk the line of a "meh" movie
I can not relate to this movie as it has lots of drug use and is about a famous artist. My favorite part of the movie was the end. As Johnny cash turns out to be really happy with his family.
The plot starts in the future. I beilive that the opening scene is the turning point of cashes life.
I did not know much of the history of Johnny cash or his era. But one can see that drugs and alcohol effect ones whole career and can damage all relationships. From what I can tell the history part of the movie was not a great factor to the plot.
I did not recognize the director or the actors.
This is a good movie if you like autobiographies, but either then that I did not really enjoy the movie as it was not the most entertaining thing to watch.
