Rebel Without a Cause  Kevin dean 

This movie was a little confusing to me actually. But surprisingly it caught my attention. The beginning when he was in the mental hom was weird I didn't understand it or why he was even in there
Then he went to the new school and tried to act different and all big and bad. First he tried to steal one of the popular kids girl and before school even started they didn't like him. Then when the knife fight happened I thought he was gonna end up stabbing him and then he was gonna kill him straight up they were going to jump him. But he ended setting himself up for another chance to get hurt by doing the car battleand he ended up killing the other guy The other guy was dumb enough to do that, but I think that's where he showed he was running the show he knew what he was doing he was just doing it to be a show off. Even though at first he was doing it for no reason. Then the girl he was trying to get with that was her boyfriend and she ended up falling in love with the guy. Then the little kid that had like anger issues was like friends with them and he killed somebody and was running away from the cops. He ended up sneaking into a museum and hiding and the cops ended up coming and tracking him becasue somebody snitched. Then he was the one that ended up regretting doing what he did becasue they shot him and killed him

Two courageous black men stood up to bring justice for the black community. Two influential men changed the lives of not just black Americans, but for all Americans. Both men made a change and created a movement. These men were very similar in these aspects. Many would say that the difference between the two is peace versus violence.

In the film Malcom X was portrayed as a man who could lead an army of men and women with the movement of a finger. He saw black Americans as needing to gain their freedom and they would do what ever they could do achieve that; whether it was through violence or not. He felt that before integration could start where white Americans helped black Americans that people of his same color should be working with each other. They should be hand in hand since they know the same struggles and problems.

Martin Luther King Jr lead the people through peace. His speeches were powerful and persuasive. Even if at a protest he and fellow blacks were being beaten he felt that peace was the way to go to get the point across. He didn't fight back with violence but with words. He saw that people of all kinds should be working together to have equal rights and freedom.

Both men wanted the same thing and both changed how the world saw rights for colored people in the United States. These two men defied officers and laws to make their point and change lives.

When We Were Kings

When We Were Kings was a documentary about the match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. The match gain a lot of media as it was taking place in Zaire. The documentary followed both of the fighters as well as other sources that were tied to the fight. This film portrayed Muhammad Ali as the underdog as he was near retirement, George Foreman was currently the heavyweight champion, this made people believe George Foreman was going to win. However Muhammad Ali was very confident and many of the people in Africa believed in him and favored him over George Foreman. The felt closer to him and related to him in a way that they couldn't feel towards George Foreman. In the end of the movie Muhammad Ali ended up winning the fight. He won the fight by repeatedly hitting him with his right arm. This is a move that is not used often in these fights because it leaves them open for an attack. So using this move was like an insult to George Foreman. George Foreman ended up exerting all his energy and ended up losing the fight. I like this movie well enough. it kept my attention, but I will not lie and say that there weren't parts that made me want to lay my head down and fall asleep. 

When We Were Kings (Laszlo)

When We Were Kings is a documentary based on the fight in Zaire between Mahummad Ali and George Foreman, also known as "The Rumble in the Jungle"

I think this was a very well put-together documentary because of all the film from the fight itself and the surrounding weeks. The interviewees were there and they knew what they were talking about and did a fantastic job narrating the whole event as footage played for the viewer to watch. Part of what made this documentary as good as it was would be the fight itself and how great of a moment in boxing history it was; if the event or subject of a documentary isn't that intriguing then chances are few people will be engaged.

As I was watching the documentary it occurred to me that this fight was a lot like Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back when they were in Hoth and the Empire found the rebel base. As the Imperial Walkers proceeded to bombard the base and the rebels attempted to fight it, Luke Skywalker and a few others went in small ships to fight off the Walkers as much as they could. As we all know, Luke Skywalker pulled through and brought down a number the walkers. Luke Skywalker and his smaller ship being Ali and the Imperial Walkers being Foreman, it's quite obvious that despite the immense power the Imperial Walkers had, the smaller and faster ships had that advantage to take them out. Ya dig?

The Breakfast Club - Kameron

The Breakfast Club is a 1985 American comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by John Hughes. Five teenagers, each a member of a different high school clique, spend a Saturday in detention together and come to realize that they are all more than their respective stereotypes, while facing a strict disciplinarian principal.

On Saturday, March 24, 1984, five students report to Shermer High School in Shermer, Illinois. While not being complete strangers, each of them know of each other, but have nothing in common. The beautiful and pampered Claire Standish, the state champion wrestler Andrew Clarke, the bookish Brian Johnson, the reclusive outcast Allison Reynolds, and the rebellious John Bender.

Throughout the movie, these five students learn that they have a lot of things in common, and I feel like John Hughes chose to have this movie to be realistic. I don't think every thing that happened in this movie could be that possible, it's a great number of things that could happen. This is how friendships, relationships are built and I thinknow they will carry on that friendship or relationship because of how much they have in common.

Alyssa Beckam - Bowfinger

Bowfinger is a 1999 American comedy film directed by Frank Oz. This movie is about a low rent movie producer (Bowfinger) who makes a film with a top Hollywood action star (Kit Ramsey) who does not know hes in the film Bobby Bowfinger saved up for this movie his entire life he has $2,184 to pay for production cost. He has a script ( "Chubby Rain') by an accountant, a camera operator and Dave with access to studio - owned equipment . The funniest part in the Movie is when Kit Ramsey was going crazy thinking he was seeing Aliens and random people , I also feel like that Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy did a great job in this movie and will recommend people to watch. 

The Revenant (Cesar)

The American frontier; a once unexplored terrain full of hardship and peril. Many a brave man journeyed those great plains in search of food, home, and manifest destiny. As such, the exploits of these men have been passed on through the generations; one such story being that of Hugh Glass, who was left for dead by his companions after being on the receiving end of a mauling from a grizzly bear. His tale of subsequent survival has gone down in American legend. This is evident in Academy Award winning Alejandro González Iñárritu's Best Picture-nominated film, The Revenant.

Based on Glass' throes in the American midwest, The Revenant tells much of the same story that has been passed down over the previous 200 years, with a few liberties. Glass - played by Leonardo DiCaprio (who earned an Academy Award for his leading role in the film) - still suffers a vicious bear attack; however, he now has a Native American son named Hawk (played by the fledgling Forrest Goodluck), who is constantly the target of the antagonizing John Fitzgerald (portrayed by Academy Award nominee Tom Hardy).

Much of the film involves Glass' adventures throughout the snowy tundra that is the American midwest; although to liken his rise from the dead to mere adventures is a disservice to the absolute directing masterclass that Iñárritu puts on in this film. Every shot is carefully placed to make the journey to safety seem more and more impossible. This is showcased best in the brilliant - and now internet famous - bear encounter scene, which is all shot in one take.

DiCaprio absolutely shines in his role as Hugh Glass, arguably punching in his best performance to date; a feat even more impressive given his limited amount of speaking lines in the film. Instead of his usual charismatic and braggadocios personas (The Wolf of Wall Street, The Great Gatsby, Catch Me if You Can, etc), DiCaprio uses body language and facial expressions to convey a sense of determination and desperation towards the viewer - it's easy to why this was the movie the Academy finally recognized him for, even if a little overdue. Not to be out-shined - however - is Tom Hardy, who manages to compel the viewer to feel such disgust and animosity towards his character, John Fitzgerald, that one might find themselves almost disliking Hardy himself; one who is known to play a memorable villain (e.g. Bane in The Dark Knight Rises), it is evident why he was nominated for his efforts.

Overall, The Revenant is an incredible motion picture. It blends phenomenal acting, exceptional directing, and cinematography with American urban legend to create a dramatic tale of heartbreak, determination, and revenge. Certainly one of the best films of the year, it does not disappoint; even with its at times slow 156 minute runtime, the film's fantastic visuals as well as arguably the best ever performance from potentially the greatest actor of his generation more than make up for it. It is one well worth seeing.
