However if we watch this movie through race and ethnicity we will see how they were discriminated by their appearance. As this scene when Enrique and Rosa were in the bus going to Tijuana at once to the arrival another passenger told them" We are in Tijuana you Indians get off" That was just powerful since the person just showed hatred toward them because of their appearance as he was worth more than them. Also a particular scene that captured my eyes was when Enrique was with his coworker in the restaurant and a "poncho" past by and made fun of him since he was born and raise their and was making the same type of work as them who were illegal 's. As if the film was trying to explain that Chicanos will always be working for rich white persons since the restaurant was full of white rich people. As toward the end when Enrique is looking for a job a truck comes and says "I want strong arms to work" just showed how films see us as just working
Alcatraz was a super prison also known as “the rock”. This place was home to the most wanted prisoners, was always locked, and all guards made sure that prisoners were doing what they were supposed to be doing. In Alcatraz there were hundreds of prisoners who were most wanted. One of these prisoners was Al Capone.
1. The Godfather series is known for their dark and Gordon Willis is an American cinematographer whose most well-known work includes his work with Francis Ford Coppola and The Godfather series. Willis is most known for his use of extremely low lighting where in some scenes, it is so dark it is almost impossible to actually see what is happening on the screen. The beginning scene of The Godfather starts with a low-key light setting where you only see the Godfather and the person he is talking to while the entire background is darkened out. The specific video I chose shows how dark scenes in The Godfather actually are.
He focuses on two movies—Martyrs of the Alamo (1915) and John Wayne’s The Alamo (1960). Flores focuses on the differences between the films. Martyrs of the Alamo is the oldest film and is closest to the creation of the Alamo as a symbol. It has a very negative portrayal of Tejanos, describing them as “ill mannered, slovenly, drunken, and lusting after women” (Flores 99). The Alamo, made much later is more subtle in its negative portrayal but as Flores points out, still portrays Tejanos as “other” which is especially obvious in the portrayal of Juan Seguin (Flores 126).
The Godfather: The Godfather is non fiction novel written by Mario Puzo. According to me it one of the best books I have ever read, it is a highlight of my freshmen year at SJSU. It is obvious that, the hypothesis about the acceptance of the book is mainly because of the capability and understanding of the readers to analyze the epic writing style of the author. Every situation and incident in Godfather forced me to apply in the real life scenario. I was actually experiencing a new dimension of world and a new phase of Politics.
The film managed to triple its profits since the overall budget is estimated to have been 48 million dollars and it ended up grossing over 165 million dollars in the United States alone. The movie is a classic because it is relevant all over the world with the corruption going on in each political system.

To say Sacha Baron Cohen is a controversial figure is like pointing out humans require water in order to survive. After all, we are talking about the man that has become synonymous for radically contentious roles – as seen in Brüno, The Dictator, and everyone’s favorite, Borat. And, I’m guessing his devoted followers are hoping for more of the same in the new film, The Brothers Grimby.
King Kong was remade in 2005 due to how popular it was in 1933. However,
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" The famous quote by Michael Corleone said in Godfather is often heard but not everyone quite understood in its true essence. We want to keep friends close in order to enrich our lives. We're also inclined to judge our interpersonal relations with the degree of "closeness" we associate them with. It is a human's tendency to ignore real threats and stay in the illusion of safety and comfort one feels when surrounded by loved ones. But this does not magically eradicate our problems like they never existed in the first place.
The Godfather (1972) is said to be one of the greatest films ever made. When this movie was released in 1972, it was nominated for Ten Academy Awards and it won three: Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. The film was adapted from the book with the same name written by award winning author of mafia fiction, Mario Puzo. This film takes place in a span of ten years following the life of Don Corleone, the head of the Corleone Crime Family. It was a film that changed the history of cinema, introducing a very talented filmmaker and several acting legends in the telling of a story of a Sicilian Crime Family.
They chose Lawrence Olivier and Edward Robinson for the role, but director Francis Ford Coppola insisted on playing one of the most important roles in the American cinema. Brando insisted on not keeping the role in the Godfather film, and followed another technique that made his performance more spontaneous. He wrote the scene dialogue on a piece of paper and placed it next to the camera to read it while filming, in a way closer to the method used on television. That method makes the viewer feel that the actor does not repeat the words that he/she memorized.
