Do da rite thang!!

For me the most important scence in the movie was when Buggin out asked Sal why therer aint no brothers up on the wall, and sals tells him ot get out. I don't think that Sals's a recist for not puttin up any brothers, but a little cautious. When he says he calls them these people. I think Buggin out has a good point when he sad taht all the customers are black and he has white pictures. I don't think taht Mookies did the right thing because he was treated like Sal's son. if he hadn't started it, Sal's business would still be up and runnig. Later Mookie justifies this by saying Radip RAhim was his best friend, but there wasn'ts enough evidence to back up taht. One cinematic style important was low angle on Pahim to make him look big and tought. ONe other movie similear to this is Hotel Rwanda.

Battle of Algiers


First of all, this movie was not as good as i thought it would be. I think i had a little too big expectation. Just the name of the movie was really attracing and I thought i would see alot of violence and swearing. But it was not. it was just Frech people acting tough and weird Algerian women screaming all the time. anyways, I lestend to the NPR movie review and learned some intersiting stuffs. I agree how it is relistic and made me think about this nation. uSA has been known for going to other countries and doing waht the French did in this movie. For esample in Vietnam and currently in Iraq. Even though torture is crule and ungodly, I thinkg it is very important in getting infos, especially from terrorists who don't care about anything but their religion. I thought it was an unknown movie, but found out that it was studied by political people. And I certainly cant believe that this movie was nominated for three acedamy awards. I mean WoW!! But I do agree taht this movie makes it look real and feel the intensity of it. But I don't agree how French can be victims of anything when they are the ones taking over someones eles's country. the writer missed how some French were innocent people and they got killed at msasvie amounts. But in the end, this movie just didn't do it for me.
