They believe that jenny is the bad luck charm that brings bad things to occur in the family and jimmy brought all the good. They don’t appreciate jenny for the things she’s done in the family or the things she’s achieved in life. That’s why it’s so hard for her to open up to her family and tell them things about herself. Analyzing this film was a life lesson for me and my peers in the room. The reason i claim this to be a life lesson film is because you can see how bad and good families can treat each other and hurt each other without caring about their own bloods feelings and put them down. This film is meant to show how families can split apart by making one simple mistake in

The film focuses on the characters lives and how they can keep going when they struggle with society.

Of all the terrible events in history, the Holocaust may be the worst of them all. This tragedy was so terrible, I cannot think of the ones who instigated it as human beings. It was against many morals and standards that the world views today as common ethics. The most terrible part of this is, perhaps, how today’s new and younger generations are not sufficiently educated about this disaster. Although many younger generations do not know about the Holocaust, it’s importance should be emphasised in today’s society to learn from it, to realize that every human life is important, and to appreciate the blessings of the present day.

When seeing this film it felt as though this was right on target genuine occasions with no misunderstandings, since this is the manner by which life really is outside of the cameras and television and creations.

Likewise making it all the more realistic was knowing how gangs function and go around from individual encounters in my own life, it gives a more inside and out visual from what I saw growing up through my childhood. I would now be able to state that I have a view from outside and I now know what definitely is going on behind the walls.

Ideology The movie that I have chosen to analyze is the 2004 film Crash. This film emphasizes the intertwining cultures of today 's society and the conflicts faced from class, culture, stereotypes and racism.

The films overt message does generate social dialogue, however, this film can be interpreted by the audience through their own beliefs and behaviors causing some misinterpretation.
