A movie that has influenced me. We all know that racism still exists in this country, unfortunately, and my father is one example still living.

Peter Weir Movie Analysis
In 1998 Peter Weir released, The Truman Show, an ingenious movie that urged viewers to reflect on ethics related to modern day television programmes and the media. His latest movie, released in 2003, Master and Commander was a gentleman's action movie. Although the latter was much more entertaining, it is a movie that corresponds meticulously to Hollywood formulas. The Truman show is a movie that doesn't relate to Hollywood formulas but does the complete opposite.

Malcolm X Novel Vs. Movie
In my opinion, Alex Haley's novel and Spike Lee's interpretation were both good representations of Malcolm X's life and ideals. Both were very detailed and entertaining in their depiction. Alex Haley's portrayal of Malcolm X's life as told by Malcolm, shares the same perception as the movie, but what Alex provides in the book many of Malcolm's various interactions with "white folks", and each interaction Malcolm gained something from it, some positive while others negative.

May 16th, 2005 When it comes to either watching movies or reading books the latter is, by far, the better option.

Horror Of War In Dulce Et Decorum Est
Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est" is a magnificent, and terrible, description of a gas attack suffered by a group of soldiers in World War 1.
