42

I enjoyed watching the movie 42. I liked how they showed Jackie Robinson and the entering of the black men in the MLB. 42 showed me to never give up on my dreams even if I think poorly of myself at the time because you can accomplish anything you put your heart to. I think Robinson did an amazing job being able to not fight back even though he wanted nothing more than to be able to defend himself.
Jackie Robinson showed that african american men can be apart of sports and could be on the same team as white men. Also, I think Robinson impacted his teammates by showing them how dedicated he was to the sport and even through all the struggles he was going through he still was dedicated and loved every minute of it.
Jackie Robinson said, "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." I agree with this statement. I think it is very important to leave a positive impact on people because then they can go and do the same thing to other people. I believe that even the worst people in the world leave a positive impact on someone at some point in their life.

Cinderella Man

I believe the title is called "Cinderella Man" because i believe it shows a portrayal of how this man had a true cinderella story of his own. I enjoyed the film because i liked to see the truths behind the Great Depression. This movie made me feel sorry for everyone who was having financial issues. The children today may face the same issues because our stocks could just crash because we don't know how our economy is.

If my family was in the condition his family was going through I would steal some bread but nothing really extreme.

I think the way they portrayed Max was awful and they shouldn't have been that harsh. It made him look like a bad guy when he really isn't. I think it reflects badly on the directors.

When James begged for money it made me realize how much trouble he was going through. I felt sorry for him and it showed how desperate he was.

Tombstone

The movie Tombstone I thought was not enjoyable at the beginning of the movie but towards the end i got into it a little more. Tombstone helped me understand what it was like living during the wild west. I also enjoyed the fashion during the time. For those people who are not well informed about the Wild West, watching Tombstone is something i recommend.
      Wyatt Earp has had a reputation before people witnessed his presence and his story of his shoot outs make him legendary for that reason. Wyatt Earp gained more respect from others because he stood up for his family and was fighting back after his brother was sadly killed. If i could i would like to live in the wild west just to see how the lifestyle is. But i do not think i could survive very long but i think the experience would be enjoyable and a story i could pass on to others.

Glory

Overall, I liked the movie Glory. The movie kept me interested as to what was happening along with having historical events that pertain to the civil war. The movie showed a huge problem which is racism and I thought the actors and the directors did a really nice job portraying the message and the problem throughout the movie.  In the movie, the black soldiers were treated very poorly while the white soldiers were treated much better which in my opinion is completely unfair and still is an issue we deal with today. No matter what race you are everyone should be treated the same and get equal rights, which is a huge issue we deal with today.

I think that people are willing to die for their country for many reasons. One, if people are so willing to do anything they can for their country that should show to other people that they should be able to go out and do something along those lines. Maybe not fight in a war, but something like that to save people or help the country and be a leader to those who don't do anything. Also, being the first african americans to risk their lives for the country is a good thing so then other african americans will go out and do the same thing because they are inspired. Shaw in my eyes, is a hero to many people. He led the first black infantry. Even though he died in the battle with his men he still gave it his all and did everything he could.

The 54th Massachusetts showed that African Americans had the ability to fight and how brave they were. Having the African Americans that can fight also says that anyone can be able to fight for their country and not give up and also shows how they are very brave.
