Defiance

Tuvia and his brothers are some of the most inspirational survivors in history. How they took so many people under their wings to provide them with a chance to live is something special and inspirational. At some parts of the film I thought that I was in the forest with the group of fighters. I also liked how the forest marriages gave people a sense of hope.
"Our revenge is to live" is a very important quote. People discriminating against the jewish race did everything did everything they could to wipe out the jewish population. In order to prove these people wrong, they had to live and work through it. Humanity and revenge are huge powerful themes that stand out in this movie. Revenge may not be positive but it is something that we must live through and battle through. Humanity on the other hand is positive.

The Godfather

I had always wanted to watch the Godfather and finally in your class I got to see it. I really enjoyed the film and wanted to watch the second one. I liked the character Michael he seemed real, and people could relate to him. He tried to escape his families legacy but he ended up getting caught up in it all. I really enjoyed seeing the movie from the bad guys perspective and how they were able to feed themselves and do what they needed to do and how they greatly valued family.
The person that is portrayed as the god father like is Vito Corleone. Nothing could get done in the community without him approving it or helping. I think the world was able to escape anything because Vito was replaced in full by his son Michael.
From the previous movies of organized crime that I have seen, the Godfather is extremely different. From this families point of view it was the only way to live. I think the classic feeling is just because of the perspective that the movie was in.

Miracle on Ice

This movie inspired me greatly. This movie is the movie i have enjoyed the most in the class, there was not one thing I didn't like about it. I play a bunch of sports and it made me think that no matter what i can be the best.
This event I would describe it as a group of men who have little to none experience playing hockey are thrown on the ice and have to compete against a bunch of teams that are really good and expected to fail against the teams they were playing. The team that everyone thought was amazing and no one could beat, they beat them. This relates not only to hockey to the country itself. At that time it happened to be the cold war. With what was going on between the countries and the relationships, they were able to defeat the commies.
One event that comes across my mind that relates to the movie is when the seal team took down Osama Bin Laden. He was an enemy of the United States for years and thought he was never going to be caught. Thanks to the seal team, Osama Bin Laden is no longer alive and not able to harm us anymore.
