This movie was very good. I had high expectations for this movie and I was very excited to see it since it happened in our own backyard, and it did not disappoint. I really liked Danny Greene after seeing this movie, and I wish they had never killed him. I think he was a good man and he was even trying to stop committing crimes. I think Danny got in a little over his head, and that's why he died. It would be crazy if people still did this much crime in the city of Cleveland. I'm glad there aren't car bombs everywhere.
Danny Greene is a great guy who really tries to help people out. He is a funny guy with a lot of friends. Sure, he's a criminal and people want to kill him, but he's cool. He has a kind heart and it is shown.

The Godfather
The Godfather was one of my favorite movies ever, and every time I see it, I like it more. The plotline is very well done, very suspenseful, and very eventful while not being too much. The characters in this movie are badass, cool, and each have their own personalities. I really hated when Sonny died, but that was the only part of the movie I didn't like. The movie honestly made me wish I could be in a gang. This movie shows gangs in a light in which they are usually not seen, where they are the protagonists and there are others that are the enemy. I can see how people in families would want to be close with the gang.
Vito Corleone is the moral center of this movie because he is a very good man, despite what his profession would say about him. It creates a debate within the watcher's head because Vito is a good man, but he kills people, and runs a crime business. When Vito died, a good man died and I do not think the world became a better place. I think the world was better with Vito in it. He was the best of the 5 families most likely.
THIS MOVIE IS A CLASSIC I SHOULDNT EVEN HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO ANY OF YOU!!!!!!

42
42 was a great film that was honestly very inspiring to me. The image of Jackie Robinson was such an image of a hero, and they showed him as such a great man in this movie. There were so many people doubting him, and such a mindset to stop him, but he still succeeded. He was good, too! I really liked the way they showed the owner of the Dodgers. He was probably my favorite character in the movie although Jackie was a close second. The racism showed in this film was very shocking to me and weird to think that at one point, baseball was actually like that. This movie was very inspiring and interesting, one of my favorites from the class.
I do think that Jackie Robinson helped this country a lot. He humbled a lot of people and brought a more tolerant mindset to baseball. He also helped America by being a role model for behavior and showed that he wouldn't fight even if someone provoked him. He taught lessons like being brave and knowing how to beat someone without fighting back. I agree with Jackie's quote. I think that a lot of human life has to do with the impact and interaction you have with other humans, and if you give everyone you meet a positive thing to take with them in life, then you lived a good life.
I could use all of Jackie's values in my life. I could use courage, determination, and commitment to get the things I want in life. When working with others, I can always use teamwork and integrity. All of Jackie's values can do countless things for you in life.

Cinderella Man
I really enjoyed the film Cinderella Man. It was a great story and it really struck me emotionally, The way James Braddock was depicted made him seem like a complete badass, while still being the nicest guy ever. He worked hard for his family even when he barely could. As far as antagonists go, I think the main antagonist was the Great Depression itself. Sure, Jimmy Braddock had a lot of opponents in the ring, but nothing compared to the fight with the depression. It got really emotional in the movie a few times when he would be low on money, and it was especially bad when the kids had to leave. I really liked this movie and how hard Jimmy Braddock worked for his family and himself. He made it back up to the top and was a hero to a lot of people.
