Class and Virtue

Q. Michael Parenti says that class matters  even though others don't believe is important during Hollywood movies. If class wasn't that important then why worry about what others think. Even though many other people don't notice the purpose of why Hollywood puts different races and classes on the scream Hollywood is trying to teach others that the position your in matters no matter what. American movies are movies to inspire middle class to do better in life and not to limit themselves to a simple life. Even though sometimes Hollywood doesn't thinks that shouldn't be done at least we learn from what other believe is right, and one thing i know is that class would always be a big part of Hollywood.

C. I don't understand why Michael is impress about what Hollywood been doing all this years. I mean think about  it, nobody wants to see a poor family keep been poor and tell us about their poor life. Hollywood tries to make us see the fantasy, because honestly the reality life is the worst thing in this world.  It might sound funny but when i go watch a movie I want to see something that isn't true in life. I want to use my imagination, I believe movies are the only way I can walk away from the reality and be happy for at least 2 hrs and just think about others happiness and don't think about my life.

The Offensive Movie Cliche that won't die


Q. Matt Zoller couldn't define "Magical Negro" better than this. It’s such a cliché always seen the same characters on most movies, that sometimes you know what the actor might say or even do. Matt gave us the definition of "magical negro" a character who acts as a mentor to a questing white hero. In American culture these characters are consider to be like the "Gods" the light of the movie. It’s like having someone telling you what’s wrong or right. I believe that actors shouldn’t get offended, even though it’s a cliché all Hollywood actors are place into categories and they should accept the way their been seen.

   C. Using the president as an example made me understand how people see these types of actors in real. Even though it’s still hard for me to say “negro” on words, I understand how they feel. Theirs words that shouldn’t be said even though they don’t mean to hurt others might take it offensive. Like the tittle said it’s just a cliché and it’s something that Hollywood would always keep going on. No matter what others think I enjoy these types of movies. It always gives some great meanings to the movies and makes us learn a lesson.

The Thematic Paradigm


Q. Robert Ray states in his article that theirs two different hero's on Hollywood the outlaw hero and the official hero. Both heroes’ share the same general moral set, making sure everyone gets what it’s reasonable. Even though they express different ways of solving problems and sharing their feelings at the end we know they care about the people they helped. Ray describes two different heroes in American Cinema, then what are the other unknown hero's consider to be? Why do both heroes’ mistrust women so much on their movies, especially when they try to help the hero’s? I try to understand why sometimes we can’t find an official hero as women, but you can find an outlaw hero. People enjoy seen bad girls instead of smart girl. I believe Hollywood has created this stereotype believing that real hero's would always be men. 

C. While readying article it makes me realize that we watch movies without noticing the difference. In my personal taste I enjoy seen outlaw hero's, knowing that they would always be there even if I turn 30 years old. One of my favorite movies would be "The expendables" The purpose of this movie is that they assemble all great outlaw heroes’ that have made history in their movies like Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li etc. Even though the actors are getting old, I can always go back to their old movies and appreciate great series that these legends created.

Chapter 4

The Hollywood Sign

Q. Escaping from reality hoping that someone else understands what you’re going through helps you determine a better future. Movies always inspire us getting out of our zone letting us fantasy to another dimension. Movies are like doors, they open another world but you have to remember to close it because you have to go back to the place you came from. Many viewers believe that movies aren't the best thing because its opening a lot of peoples mind to something that isn't real and that producers are waiting there time on things that aren't helping the world.

C. I believe movies are the best things men have created. Without movies my life wouldn't be this fun it is at this moment. I enjoy fantasying about my future. For others books are the open doors to another world, but for me movies our like the rhythm of life. There's always those toughs on how they could make it better or how it would be great been them. Even though it’s just fantasy it makes you feel like you’re part of someone else’s life.

Everyone Lies






Q. We watch TV shows without noticing that were been influence by them. Laurie Boloven explains  that American television shows has change over time, even though some things stay the same, there's so many things that change in the culture of television. The best example is when she compares Dr. House a tv series on 2004  and Dr. Kildcare from a TV show on 1960's. The author is trying to compare how people feelings change over time. It also shows that tv shows don't care about peoples feelings anymore and that they have to be cold to complete their job. This made me realize that people aren't the same, they don't care what other feel or think. Is been selfish the new style?

C. While reading this essay, i never though similar TV shows repeated in life. I was also pretty upset that shows aren't the same. Its sad that  they believe been selfish its the new way of judging people. We shouldn't let television influences us by there bad habits. We need to keep in mind its just television and it shouldn't affected the way we see others in our world. We humans "are liar" but that's part our nature. So why should we be judge by another human who believes its better than us.

Find yourself

"Real Beauty"
Q. If a beautiful woman is consider to be "Victoria Secret Model" then what am I consider to be? a disturbing unattractive women? Ads have always pursuit us to find anything that's wrong with our body and spend money just to perfect what society thinks is wrong. Even though Dove's New campaign is inspiring to love ourselves there's still that insecure that doesn't make us feel happy for who we are. Man's are also a huge part in our lives and even though we say we don't need their opinion, there actually the reason we want to look attractive for. So why is it hard for them to see the real us? Why keep comparing us to something we weren't meant to be. 
C. There's nothing wrong on been who you are, but admit it, you don't want to be that unattractive female that no one wants to be. I believe there's nothing wrong on "fixing" some insecure parts of your body. We might not end up looking like the models we see on ads but at least we can enjoy our body's and feel more comfortable naked or wearing a nice bikini outfit on a beautiful beach day.
Hearing man's complain about the Dove's "Real Beauty" made me realize that they shouldn't be blamed. There so used to seen the "unrealistic" slim models that we barely see in our regular days. If man's consider us as an sexual attraction, why can we make them happy and see us as "beautiful people" I'm pleased that Dove's is doing something to bust up are self esteem and love us for who we are but I'm also not against "unrealistic" models. In-perfection is beauty but also remember there's nothing wrong on "fixing" some imperfections. All it matter is that you love yourself and don't pursue yourself to be someone that you'll regret in the future.
