This is my final exams blog. After watching movies for half the school year I learned a thing or two about movies that are depicted by history. First, some war movies are super dupery boring. I lied the movies that has humor, love stories, and an interesting plot line. But in all, Hollywood really deceives the viewers to thinking that whatever they put on film is the real deal, and that's not true.
Media does whatever it needs to in order to make themselves famous or well liked. They think that whatever they put, others will believe. We are so closed minded to thinking whatever we see on the Internet and social media is true, so why not trick us on the big screen? However, not many people are fans of history movies, so other simply do not care.
There were ,any inaccurate things in movies such as glory, platoon, and other movies. Granted, not many people care enough to look that deep into the movies to see what's true and what's not.
Having more experience I'm looking deep into these movies, I'll keep my eyes out more when watching movies like this. I'll stay open minded and not just believe everything the media tells me. This class was a fun one but I can't say I'm sad to that this is my last blog. Good ridince y'all.

The Help Review
Lexi Fiore
I recently watched the movie called The Help. And wow is all I have to say! This movie blew my expectations. It was revolved in Mississippi in 1960's during. Very biased time period. The civil rights movement movies are always ones that catch my eye and keep me interested.
The Help is a movie during the 1960's civil rights movement. The main characters all had their own black maids. They disrespected them, all of them except Miss Celia. She had the most respect for her Maid, she ended up being more of her friend. The basis of the movie is a girl who was raised by a black maid, grows up to be a writer for the newspaper. During her writing for her newspaper, she decided to write a book about the maids she involved her life in and write their stories.
Emma Stone was a fabulous actor. She did a great job with her emotions and got me feeling sad at times too. Another one of my favorite actors in this film was the one who played Miss Celia. She showed so much respect for Minnie unlike any other person she worked for. It made me happy to see her treat other with respect and maturity.
Love love love this movie. That is all.
I give this movie a 5/5 rating :)

Apollo 13
Lexi Fiore
I recently watched Apollo 13 in class and I would love to review it. This movie is an austronomical movie. A group of guys have been trainer for years to take this flight up into outer space. I'm not a fan of space travel, but this was cool.
Apollo 13 was a very interesting movie. Not many people actually know what it takes to be apart of NASA and the role they play in everyday space missions. Traveling up into space is no joke. It' really takes a toll on your body and Tom Hanks did a wonderful job playing the part. Seeing how they float around, eat, and do every day things was cool to see.
All three of the astronauts did a great job. You can tell he excitement was greatly portrayed by them. even when they were sad they didn't fail to make you feel sad scared or anxious with them. Of course the main character was my favorite character.
Although the ending was sad, I still liked the movie as a whole. It wasn't my favorite in this class, but it's up there. Having this been the second time I watched it, it surprisingly didn't bother me. Good movie!
3/5 rating :)

Against The Wall
Title- Against The Wall
I recently watched Against The Wall in class and I want to review on what I witnessed. his movie as about the Attica Prison break in 1971. The prisoners took over control of the entire jail and went rampant. They started to abuse heir officers and each other.
Michael Smith is a new recruit to the prison service. There is also several of his colleagues there also. All of them get caught up in a prison riot fueled by bad prison management. A huge lack of understanding by the guards caused the prisoners to attack in the most violent form they could. They hung a few guards, beat some to death, and gave them ungodly torture. Not only did they destroy the guards, but the other prisoners as well. The power completely took over each other. Michael and Jamaal created a strong bond in he movie and both tried to make it out of there alive while everyone else tried to break each other to bits and pieces.
I think the main actor Kyle MacLachlan did and EXCELLENT job at his character. His credibility is amazing. he had me emotional, scared, worried, anxious and so many other things in one movie. he made me believe he was a real officer and I liked that. bad actors ruin movies completely.
Even though this wasn't my favorite movie we watched, I still liked it. It as entertaining and very interesting at most times. It was graphic and very visual, which made some parts hard to watch, but for the most part I give this a job well done!
This movie is rated R
I give it a 2.5/5

Forrest Gump 2nd assesment
Lexi Fiore
5/29/15
Forrest Gump. Such an interesting movie in many ways. It was comical, serious, and sometimes just dumb. Overall, the movie was great! Don't get me wrong, I love a box of chocolates too. You never really know what your gonna get. Gump was born with not the sharpest brain out there. His IQ was low but that didn't stop him from doing anything he wanted. Going on the bus to school wasn't easy for poor Gump, but it would be a day he would never forget. There he met his best friend. Jenny Curran. Jenny and him were a bunch of veggies as Forrest would say. Did I mention he's not the brightest? Anyway, him and Jenny did everything together and helped each other along the way of their wild life. Forrest got into the University of Alabama and got a sweet ride through football. Meeting the president, making the all American team, and more is what his fast running skills scored him. On the other hand, good ol Jenny got a little frisky in her "college years". Never mind that, but after Gump graduated college, he decided to join the army. There he met his other best bud, Bubba, and his other. Dan. Bubba talked Gumps ear off about his shrimp business. He followed through with it after the Vietnam war. After his war days, he met back up with jenny and stayed at his home in Alabama. After leaving him, AGAIN, may I add, he did exactly was Jenny told him too. Run.
Now this guy, for whatever reason, ran for 3 years straight. STRAIGHT. Who does that? Well whatever we all know his mind is in left field so we'll leave it at that. On his 3 year run, he got followers. People joined him on this wild journey, which I also think is absolutely insane. there more too his story but I don't want to be the one to ruin that for you so ill stop here.
Forrest was involved in a lot of historical events. Vietnam, Elvis Presley, JFK assassination and more. That was a cool thing to do because it was him living it through his present day life, but is history to all of us.

Top Gun Review
Lexi Fiore
I recently watched a movie in my class called Top Gun. This is also a movie involving the war. This movie showed a lot of air craft which is something that I'm not necessarily into, but I loved the movie.
In this movie there was some nice eye candy. Maverick was nice looking and a nice actor. I enjoyed his role in the film and the love story he and Charlie had. Also the relationship that Maverick and goose had got my emotions all over the place. What really ,are the ,Obie come together and different than others, is the love story. I know I say this a lot but that's what made this movie the best.
All the characters did am amazing job! I can't find one character I didn't think did their job right. Tom cruise is always fabulous. He really played the pRt the best and he was my favorite character in the film.
As you can tell from above, I really liked this film a lot. This was by far the best movie I have seen in this class to date. It is the perfect mixture of history and a love story. I really found It to be very interesting.
5/5 rating :)
