Wasp (2003)
Wasp Reflection
This movie felt very real and very intense when I was watching it. The mother in the story is seen to many as a scumbag mother who doesn't deserve her children. I have to disagree with this because though she is not able to give her children the proper care, she shows moments where she truly does care about them. She does go into a bar leaving her kids out alone, but it is the only way she can escape her nightmare, which is actually her reality. She is like a wasp trapped in a window. She needs someone to let her out, someone to help her, but that person isn't there. She has no money, and no one to look out for her, so she lives the poor lifestyle that she lives because there is nothing she can do. I think the purpose of this movie was to show the viewer the humane side of a mother who cannot provide care for her children.
The Boys of Baraka (2005)
The Boys of Baraka
This movie was both sad and inspirational. What made it sad was that it gives viewers a feel for what it is like to live in the ghetto. It shows how it is nearly impossible to escape. There is a constant cycle that keeps people from ghetto families in the ghetto. if your a man, you may have kids and will most likely end up in prison. If your a woman, you will most likely end up as a single mother unable to provide proper care for their children. The only chance of hope is to strive in school which is difficult with the poor schooling systems available for the lower class. The movie was inspirational because of the kids' attitudes. Though they are almost destined to end up where they started (the ghetto), they still kept their heads high, and their goals alive. They had a dream to become something, and by being chosen to attend the school in Kenya, they were one step closer to achieving their goal.
