Movies have the ability to transport people to different times and places and distract them from ordinary everyday reality. They allow for a range of emotions to be experienced. At their core, movies examine the human condition. There are plenty of deeper truths woven into screenplays and plenty of lessons to be learned, even when an individual is solely seeking entertainment.

Fighting for justice in “Revolutionary Suicide” presents two conflicts between suicide and salvation. In Oakland California around 1970, African Americans were being so mistreated that a movement was created to fight for black power which is known as Black Panther Party. African Americans were going up against the police and government of the racist south. This was a time Jim Crow laws had just ending along with segregation ,but that dosen’t mean that the whites of the south still didn’t have the same intentions they used to have about blacks. Which lead to many confrontations that resulted in death or injury causing revolutionary suicide. In poem “Revolutionary Suicide,” The style of the poem is built of a cause and effect. First, the speaker addresses that having nothing causes him to have everything .“By having no family I inherited the family of humanity …By having surrendering my life to the revolution I found internal life.” Readers can get an impression that the speaker would make a great leader. Especially when he tells the audience that he is willing to sacrifice himself in order to gain revolution. The speaker is confronting the opposition letting them know he is not afraid of death nor them. He also writes this in the poem

4. What was the point of the movie? (ex: a political statement, a moral idea, reflections on society)

Aside from being a source of entertainment and pleasure, films have also taken on a new role, that is, to make visible and critique the different ideologies that are present in society. The word ideology is defined as “a relatively coherent system of values, beliefs, or ideas shared by some social group and often taken for granted as natural or inherently true.” (Bordwell and Thompson, p.503). Ideologies help us to better understand films and their influence on society. They also reveal much about the society from which they originated. In this essay, I will explore the different ideological messages conveyed in films with reference to All That Heaven Allows (Douglas Sirk, 1955).

Although the best reasons for “going to the movies” are to be entertained and eat popcorn, understanding a film is actually quite complex. Movies are not only a reflection of life, they also have the capability of shaping our norms, values, attitudes, and perception of life. Through the media of film, one can find stories of practically anything imaginable and some things unimaginable. Movie-makers use their art to entertain, to promote political agendas, to educate, and to present life as it is, was, or could be. They can present truth, truth as they interpret it, or simply ignore truth altogether. A movie can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or anything in-between. A film is an artist’s interpretation. What one takes away from a film depends upon how one interprets what has been seen and heard. Understanding film is indeed difficult.

The film references, not only slasher films, but a wide array of horror fiction. Out of the numerous references to other horror films, one of the most obvious is the cabin, which is likely a reference to The Evil Dead. Another Evil Dead reference comes in the form of one of the monsters, named ‘Angry Molesting Tree’ and among the wide variety of monsters, the references range from Pinhead from Hellraiser to Kevin from Sin City. Near the end of the film, The Director (Sigourney Weaver), who played a Final Girl in the film Alien, mentions that “[the ritual] is different for every culture. And it changes over the years, but it’s very specific.”. The audience is given brief glimpses into other rituals, the most prominent being Japan’s. Japan never went through a ‘slasher film’ phase like the U.S.; instead, Japanese horror films often revolve around the supernatural; usually in the form of pale-white, ghost girls with long dark hair, who torment young victims. “Almost all classic and contemporary ghost stories from Japan operate on onnen (“the idea that some emotions are so strong that their power can extend from beyond the grave”): ...witness Sadako’s character in The Ring, the antagonist in Juon...“. A couple references even seem to predate the advent of film. Some examples include the intro credit sequence, the painting that

Throughout history, there have been many wars that were fought. When thinking of combats, many citizens associate battles with the thought of physical wars, but many don't think of the mental battles that might occur within a person. Teen suicide, which is known as the second leading cause of death globally, is frequently overlooked and underestimated as a problem when confronted about it. The poem, Romeo and Juliet by the famous author William Shakespeare, uses literature to profoundly go into the concept of how suicide can affect everyone. The community of Orland Park has taken their part to inform the society, by setting up basic services for people to learn or get help about suicide prevention. While resources are available in our

This film highlights the flaws of humanity in a western world.

War, a slaughter of men that has gone on for hundreds & thousands of years. One of the most gruesome wars was WW1 which lasted for 4 years, 28 Jul. 1914 – 11 Nov. 1918. In this devastating war, the total number of casualties includes about 11 million military personnel and about 7 million civilians. Many of those soldiers were young men. The poem “Suicide in the trenches” written by Siegfried Sassoon tells what the harsh trenches had being like and how many soldiers became depressed. Sassoon was an officer who earned a military cross after carrying a wounded solider through enemy’s crossfire. He fought in many battles till 1917 where he would then have to leave the war due to Shellshock. Sassoon criticized the political leaders who sent young men off to die in huge battles that seemed pointless and while Sassoon was in Hospital he opposed the war by writing many poems including “Does it Matter”, “The Hero’ and arguably the most tragic poem, “Suicide in the Trenches”.
