If you have not seen Dazed and Confused than you are really missing out. It is a great movie that relates from everything to High School to Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll.

This movie is amazing and inspirational to other young black women, it shows that you many struggle but if you keep going your dreams and hard work will be recognize. This film touch on the gender norms and racial norms, which has strong connection to the four reading I choice to critical review this blog. This movie has strong connection to the Gaga Feminism theory, the concept is “a set of wholesale changes that may be most obvious in the realm of gender norms but that also stretch too many other realms of everyday experience and that call for improvisational feminism that keeps pace with the winds of political change.” Hidden-figures proved that Black women can do whatever they want if they put their mind to it. This is breaking down what society has deem as the normal way of doing this.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

his reputation in Hollywood with 1995's Se7en.Unlike that Brad Pitt thriller, however, Zodiac is relatively free of the action, quick cuts and high-tech camera work that made Fincher a favorite of crime film fans. If anything, Zodiac is nearly three hours of people talking and chasing dead ends and bad leads."It's still scary," Fincher says. "But I've done movies where my process of making the movie hindered it. I enjoyed this more than Panic Room because we don't get away from the story."Perhaps that's because Fincher, who was raised near San Francisco, remembers being 7 and riding in a police-escorted school bus after the Zodiac suggested in a letter to the press that "school children make nice targets."The experience, he says, molded
Since its first opening screening in Telluride, Room has reached a peak of 198 theatres worldwide. The drama is a must watch due to its truncated, but still-powerful adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s novel. Room is a very intense and moving film with thrilling to heart-warming scenes. Brie Larson who plays Joy and Jacob Tremblay who plays Jack convey a realistic mother-and-son relationship while being trapped in a 11x11 garden shed for seven years, and five years for Jack. Director Lenny Abrahamson truly makes this drama a highly suspenseful and deeply emotional film, that does not shy away from the realities of how something drastic can change our daily reality. Room deserves its many awards and nominations. Larson receives multiple Academy Awards for her outstanding performance as Joy, the BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, Best Actress, and the Screen Actors Guild Award. The film also receives another three phenomenal Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, showing the incredible work of Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, and Abrahamson. Room makes for a remarkable, painful, and undeniably rewarding viewing experience.
For our communications course entitled Persuasion 333, I will be discussing a piece of media and three various topics that we have engaged in so far during the semester, that can be found within the media itself.

The pair must live in shelters and undergo many hardships, but Chris refuses to give up as he struggles to create a better life for himself and his son.
