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.

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.
