Reflection 6

We have watched a lot of different films in class and I felt a type of way for each of them. The social injustice group had a big impact on morals and how people are treated around the world. Gay people in The Times of Harvey Milk,  immigrants in Seoul Train and then people who are tricked into human trafficking in The Day My God Died. All of these people have determination and spirit for change and for their time to come. That inspired me and made me feel fuzzy inside. Whatever happened, I wanted them to win, sometimes it did not work out, but you can always have hope. Other movies educated me, like GasLand or Food Inc. which made me happy that I was being informed and made me think about things I ate or how many times I carpooled. WE watched other movies, but my favorite so far has been Hoop Dreams. I enjoy how I can relate to the boys, because we are the same age and I had played basketball before I hurt my knee, much like William. I wanted both boys to succeed but sometimes the other path is best for the particular person. All of these films have altered my views on some issues and made me realize other things that go on in the world. I enjoyed them and I have a better eye for documentaries than I used to have.
