This was a very troubling yet inspiring documentary. I can’t fathom 27,000 people, five to ten years old, parentless and just walking, BAREFOOT. These poor kids look so hungry, I’ve never seen legs so skinny. However, it brought me comfort knowing the boys formed makeshift families to take care of one another. And it’s pretty remarkable to hear that 11 year olds were capable of taking care of the young (not like they had a choice). I found the bond within their society beautiful. I was disturbed
Some people wonder what would happen if events had occurred differently. In this case, what would happen if John Hinckley succeeded in assassinating Ronald Reagan or if Anita Hill’s accusation of sexual harassment had never been made? History would have changed for the worst and for the better, but would it have all been worth it? That is the million-dollar question. In 1991, Anita Hill was thrust into the national spotlight by bringing the accusation of sexual harassment to the forefront. While
When we think about the great heroes of American history, those who caused great change are usually the first to come to mind. The great American heros are those who fight for change, even if it’s against social norms, to change the lives of people for the better. Heros are those who inspires others and puts others before themselves. Heros do not allow success to change them and never stops working for their goals. They do not allow other people, fear, or failure to stop nor slow them down. And
is clear that Braun's ad is heavily laden with endorsements, legislative achievements and highlights of power and leadership while at the same time concentrating a huge portion of the ad on family values. Boxer's theme was to fight for change and Dianne Fienstein highlighted her achievements in the face of undue hardship. Seargant and Ferraro took their ads and focused on highlighting power and leadership. Ultimately all of the women had feminine ad campaigns that were positive outlooks on women
decision. I say this only because John Cusack is wonderful in his Woody-ish lead role. You don't miss Allen, primarily because of Cusack's built-in charm and the great chemistry he has with both Dianne Wiest and Chazz Palminteri. Both Wiest and Palminteri were nominated for supporting Oscars (Wiest won the award), and both definitely benefited from Cusack's performance. Bullets Over Broadway tells the story of a young, seemingly talented playwright, David Shayne (Cusack). As the movie begins
He teams up with Virginia and her father, but he is unsure which side he belongs on. Dianne Wiest plays Christine White, the mom from Edward Scissorhands, usually called the Evil Queen. The lead antagonist and Prince Wendell's stepmother is sentenced to life in prison for murdering both of Wendell's parents and almost killing Prince Wendell. She is later in the film revealed to be Virginia's mother. Dianne Wiest is the only actress associated with fantasy films, but she does not belong to the genre
nonetheless established Allen as a cutting edge humorist. His featured stars that he selects for his movies are often the most established or up-and-coming actors of the day, and he frequently works with the same actors as well as technical crew. Dianne Wiest, for instance, was featured in Radio Days in 1987 and Bullets Over Broadway in 1994. Judy Davis, another Allen favorite, has appeared in Husbands and Wives released in 1992, Deconstructing Harry in 1997, and Celebrity released 1998. Additionally
What boy hasn't wanted to chase their younger siblings around their house with pegs on all ten of their fingers pretending to be a monster/ we the movie, Edward Scissorhands (1990), scouts this captivating idea and basically turns it into a movie. The film was directed by Tim Burton, who also directed the movies, The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Corpse Bride(2005), and Batman 1989. The film does a great job on highlighting the main message of the movie which is Difference. It is a classic movie
