When my friend saw that this movie was on my list for movies to watch for my History of American Cinema class, she told me that I had to watch it and I did not have a choice. Of course this confused me. Yes I heard of the movie before but I never actually thought about watching it. Now I am glad that I watched it.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a crazy movie that is also very enjoyable. At first you thought things may go wrong because the main character wanted to get out of work detail at the prison by being considered 'crazy' and in the end it did, but the story before the ending events was heartwarming. Jack Nicholson's character saw all the other patients as people and accepted them for who they were. He accepted all of their flaws and had a good time with all of them.

Although the ending was extremely sad, it also brought on new hope when the Chief was able to finally get his freedom.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a classic and great movie because it told a story about a young girl, Joey, and her new found fiancée, John. The only difference about this couple that is unusual is that Joey is a white girl and John is an African American. During this time, this sort of relationship was not very well accepted by many people, however Joey did not really care about that although John understood people may not accept them.

This movie shows how families can overcome and accept the new ways that the new generation has and their ways of looking at the world. The new types of relationships that form is one of the many things that is changing and this movie shows hope for those type of relationships and the problems that could arise within a family because of it.

This movie is certainly a very interesting movie. For one thing you don't know what's going to happen next because the characters are in a situation that can lead to a very nice and wealthy life, or death. The main male character in the movie came back home to see his family and he found the woman he loved and fell in love with her again. However, she was not for his to have because another man, who was a very dangerous man, had his hold on her. This only made him want her more and after finding out she was being abused he was angry and wanted her to come away with him. However the dangerous man has connections so in order for her to be free, the main lead character in the movie comes up with a plan to get close before having the chance to run off with him.

There was only one way in which this movie could end, especially since the leading female only wanted the money and not really the love that the leading male character offered. Although this movie was interesting, if you do not like sad endings I would not recommend it to you.

This movie is a movie that helps show the generation gap that had formed between the older generation and the newer generation. The older generation did not change with the times but instead, their children did, the new generation. In the new generation there are things that are surprising as as illegal. However it is just a new way to show old things. Drugs have been around as well as different styles of clothing and sex. However with the new generation it is much more public. Easy Rider, although it shows all of these things more publicly, it also shows how the new generation feels. They love the feel of freedom and the open road, the chance to get out there and live.

I don't know many people who have not at least heard of Bonnie and Clyde once, the infamous bank robbers who went around and robbed bank with their gang. When I first picked this movie up from the library I was really excited about watching it and I couldn't wait to put it in my movie player, however I was slightly disappointed in the movie itself. The movie overall was alright but if a movie does not seem interesting to me as it plays, I will not pay much attention to it and my mind will drift elsewhere. This happened during the movie. It was interesting at parts while other parts did not make much sense to me. Why did Bonnie and Clyde along with the gang pick up the young couple who's car they stole? What was the reason for that? The ending upset me. The police in the end in my opinions were cowards. They lured Bonnie and Clyde into a trap and shot them like a firing squad that was invisible. It was a cowardly move led by a ranger who was embarrassed and wanted revenge.

I remember once that I heard about a movie like this but I never actually saw it. When I watched this movie in class I really did enjoy it because it combined all the different emotions that humans have and how we react to certain situations. This movie was rather funny in the beginning and towards the end it became more serious. In the beginning all the awkwardness was rather funny which made it enjoyable and kept my attention. In the end I was still captured by the film because it was getting more intense because relationships became complicated.

To me the movie showed a certain message. The way that he was tangled in the web of the affair with the mother, he was being manipulated and was somehow a puppet. In the end when the daughter and the graduate ran off with each other, it was as if they were breaking away from the older generation to live their own life.

The story is about a planned race track robbery that includes the parts of many different people. Without all these different people doing their parts, it would not be able to be done. With all of these different stories, you can see one man recruiting people to help pull off this heist and he is a very important man in the movie because of that. The movie plays and you see the part of each of the characters. This is especially seen during the Heist. In the movie, only a small window of time has passed but you see several different scenes with the different characters. At first the camera focuses on one character and finishes their scene, then the camera shifts to another character and focuses on what happened during the time of the first scene. This created a very unique feeling during the film that let you see everything that was going on in the movie and created it very enjoyable.

The movie title helps describe what the movie is about. "Gun Crazy" is about a man and woman who both love guns and that leads them to meet each other as well as well as get them into a lot of trouble. The leading female character is this movie is a very strong character who is manipulative who used the leading male character. The leading male character, although he loved guns, he never wanted to use them to kill people. This movie contains chase scenes, a gun shoot-off, murder, high class, manipulative love. If you enjoy any of these things in a movie, you will enjoy this movie. There was only one ending that would make sense with this movie and that was the ending that occurred.

For years I have heard and seen references from the movie "Psycho" and I never knew why it was so popular. I was already familiar with the fact that there was a shower scene in which the woman got stabbed repeatedly but I never knew why she got stabbed or what the point of the movie was. After I finally got the chance to watch it I realize that there is a good reason as to why it is a classic movie. Although I did not find it scary compared to many of the movie and thrillers that you see in the modern movie age. Overall I rather enjoyed watching Psycho after hearing so much about it over the years and I would recommend for anyone to see it at least once.

When the movie first began suddenly with a death, I thought it would just be a movie that is just detective work to find out who caused the death and who he was. However I was wrong. The movie was about the corruption in the shipping business and how it can destroy people's lives. If you were in bad favor with the bosses' you were not able to work and then you did not get paid for that day. One man stood up to that when he realized it was wrong and when he fell in love with the sister of the man who died. Although his brother was killed for protecting him, he did not stop trying to fight against the bosses and in the end he proved he was like any other man there and that he set an example.

This movie was certainly an interesting movie. Starting to first watch the movie, I thought there would be a lot of mystery and detective work. It certainly had a lot of mystery and detective work in it. The two contrasts of female characters in the beginning gave you the idea that there would be something later on and it was. Each situation fit their personality which caused it to seem more real. The detective seemed to know what he was doing and always seemed to realize something at the same time or before the viewer would notice.

The lighting and camera work in the movie kept you watching. Especially with the use of lighting. The lighting helped set the mood for the scene.

This review contains spoilers.

The only reason why I watched this movie was for film class. However the constant use of foul language in every single point of the movie was an immediate turn off and I had to take a break from all of the swearing. The foul language was not the worst part of this movie. What truly made me hate this movie was the fact that Sal and his sons ran a respectable business and had it for years. Sal had the right to decorate his own pizzeria the way he wanted to.

*spoiler* Sal was only angry because both Buggin Out and Radio Raheem come in with a loud radio and try to intimidate him. At most because Sal destroyed the radio it was destruction of property. Radio Raheem tried to strangle Sal. Yes it was sad when the police accidentally killed him but he would not calm down and continued to fight them.

Mookie had no respect for Sal, the person who employed him and gave him a job. He took forever on deliveries, saw other people and took showers even though he still was on the clock and got paid. He threw the garbage can through the window which inevitably ended in the pizzeria to get destroyed and came back in the end for his money. That shows no respect.

Tolerance? What kind of tolerance did African Americans show the Italian Americans in the end of the movie? This movie is racist, violent and was extremely hard to sit through. I would not recommend it to anyone I know.
