Captain Phillips (2013)
Captain Phillips
I don have any personal experiences to this movie but I do like to watch these action/thriller type of movies. The filmmaker is telling us about when the this boat in the middle of the ocean got high jacked and they tied the captain up and he couldn't move. I knew that the United states were at war with other countries. Yes this time period in history was entertaining to me. There was nothing in this movie that made me question historical accuracy. I dont know who the director was. I did like the actor tom hanks in this movie. I have seen him in other movies. If I was going to recommend this movie to someone I think I would recommend it to my uncle because he likes these types of movies.
Remember the Titans (2000)

I like seeing how people work though the racism. I think the actors did a really good job on this movie. I have not seen any other movie by these actors. I have seen seen movies similar to this one.

Apollo 13 (1995)
Apollo 13
When apollo 13 happened my grandparents were watching it from their swimming pool. I love how happy their families were when they landed. The filmmaker is telling us about their attempts to make it to the moon. I knew that the U.S. was racing to the moon against the USSR. I did like this part of history. In current time we are still trying to get people into space. I have seen Tom Hanks in other movies. I do like Tom Hanks as an actor. I liked when they landed.

The Post (2017)
The post
This movie wasn't as good as some of the other movies we have watched in this class. I did like how enthuastic this movie was. The filmmaker is telling us not to always trust the journalists because they don' t always tell the truth. I knew that the watergate burglary was a big deal in this time period. This part of history is something that does interst me. I have seen other movies in this time period. I have not seen any other movies by this director. I have not seen these actors in other movies. I do think the actors in this movie were not great. I didn't like how energetic the actors in this movie were. This is not a movie I would have watched on my own time.

I loved this movie. I think this movie does a really good job explaining how other were treated very poorly in this time period. My favorite part was when he gets in front of the court and tells them what really happened. The filmmaker is telling how poorly people were treated in this time period. I knew that they were going though some racial problems in this part of history. The history part of this movie is my favorite part of history. I fell that still to this day not everyone is still trested equally.

I liked how they ended up getting the truth out of him. I would recommend this movie to some people.
West Side Story (1961)
West Side Story
I did not like this this movie as much as I liked some of the other movies we watched. I felt like there was to much going at once. I did not like how much violence there was either. I did like the part were they were dancing in the dress store. The filmmaker is telling you to listen to your parents. I knew in this part of history there were a lot of thugs. This part of history does not interest me. I have seen other movies form this time period. I have not seen other movies by this director. I have not seen these actors in other movies. I did not think the crew did a great job acting it was almost like they were being to dramatic in the movie.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Hidden Figures
My favorite scene was at the beginning when the girls broke down and the cop let them follow him to work. One personal experience was the other day when I was driving home and the car next to me got pulled over I was freaking out like the girls were when they saw the cop. The filmmaker is saying that everyone should have the same rights. They are also saying that we should all be able to work the same jobs and use the same restrooms. I knew this time in history they were having some racial problems. Yes this part of history is interesting to me. Yes I have seen other movies form this time period I want to know how they had the technology to get someone to the moon. I have not seen other movies by this director. I have not seen any of these actors in other movies. Another favorite scene of mine was when she figured out the right calcuations with only a little bit of information. I liked when they how they ended up treating them right. I didn't like how they had to walk a mile in the rain to use the restroom. Yes I would recommend this movie to people.
American Graffiti (1973)
American Graffiti
My favorite scene from this movie was when they pulled up next to the really pretty girl in the car. One thing I have in common with this movie is Vegas. I used to have cheer competitions in Vegas and my family and friends would all go walk the strip.This movie shows how people would hangout in the 1900's. It teaches you not to be shy. I knew that people weren't really shy. Yes this part of history is cool to me. I love they way they dressed. There was nothing in this movie that made me question historical accuracy. I have not seen any other moves by this director or these actors. I did like the actors and I really liked they camera angels. I love when he pulls up next to the girl at the light and she says something to him and she ends up turning and he try to get his friends to chase her down. I like how confident they were. I didn't like how they were all over a bunch of different girls though it was almost like they were really cocky. This is a movie I would have watched outside of school on my own time.
Selma (2014)
Selam
My favorite scene was when they went on their march and even though other people were being beat up they kept marching. I also liked that they always stood up for each other. In this movie the filmmaker is telling people to stand up for their right. They are also telling us to keep fighting even when things get hard. I knew that in this part of history people were fighting for what they though was right. This part of history is very interesting to me. Yes I have seen other movies from this part of history. I have not seen other movies by this director. I have not seen these actors in other movies. I do think these actors did very well over all. I liked that they kept fighting no matter what. I didnt like how brutal people were towards them. This is not a movie I would watch outside of school.
Thirteen Days (2000)
Thirteen days
One personal experience from this movie is that I am related to John F Kennedy. One great scene from the movie was when that guy showed up to his sons football game and seeing how excited he was that is dad was there. The filmmaker is telling the us about war. He is also telling us how crazy things got in the office. I knew that there was a war going on in this time of history. This part of history is not something that excites me. I have not seen any other movies in this time period. There was nothing in this movie that made me question historical accuracy. I have not seen other movies by this director. I have not seen any of these actors in other movies either. I liked how they all came together and played a part.This is not a movie I would have watched outside of school. If I were to recommend this movie to someone I would recommend this movie to my grandpa because he was into this type of stuff.
42 (2013)
42
I personally love this movie because one of our family friends played for the dodgers. My favorite scene from this movie is when he gets stepped on but he just gets back up and tells his team to keep going. In this movie I feel like the filmmaker is telling the world that they need to treat everyone equally. This movie shows a god example of pushing your self even when things don't work out they way you want them to. In this part of history I knew that this was a big problem.This pat of history is one of the most interesting to me. I know that still to this day people call others the N word. I have not seen other movies by this director. The baseball manager for the Dodgers also plays as a doctor in Grey' Anatomy. I do love them as actors. I really liked that he didn't let what other people were saying bring him down or stop him from doing what he loves. I didn't like how much they used the N word in this movie. I also didn't like how they were always trying to bring him down. If I were to recommend this movie I would probably recommend it to my cousin who plays baseball. Yes I would watch this movie outside of school.
Back to the Future (1985)
Back to the future
My favorite scene of the movie was when he came back to the future and his dad had a new car and was making his bully wax it. One personal experience to this movie is sometimes I talk such long naps that I end up feeling like I slept through a couple of years. The filmmaker is telling you that you should be glad you didn't go to school with your parents. They are also telling you that when your mom is hitting on you things can get a little weird. I knew in this part if history that women wore dresses. I also new they didn't have super nice cars. Something that is similar to this time in history is that people are still super clingy in relationships. I have not seen movies by this director. I think this was a good movie. I wouldn't mind seeing other movies by these people. I think the actors did a really good job. I liked the camera angles they were different from what you normally see. I don't think this is a movie I would watch outside of school. If I were to recommend this movie to someone it would be to my parents.
Walk the Line (2005)
Johnny Cash
I think overall this was one of the best movies that we have watched in this class. I loved that John was willing to do anything it takes for June to be his wife. My favorite scene in this movie was when he asked June to marry him on the tour bus in the middle of the night and she told him to to go back to bed. In this movie I feel like the filmmaker is trying to teach us to forgive and look past the bad parts of people. You could tell June wasn't happy with his choices but she forgave John and looked past the bad things that happened. I knew that in this part of history that they didn't have all the cool lighting for concerts that we have now. I have seen a few movies from this time period before. In this time period and in the 1960's people were all about concerts. I have not seen other movies by this director but I do like his movies. Some of the main actors in this movie are Johnny Cash and June Carter. I have not seen wither of them in other movies but i think they did a good job and I would like to see other movies with them in it. I liked everything about this movie. There wasn't anything that I didn't like. This is a movie I would watch outside of school if I had time. This is a movie I wouldn't recommend to my friends but a movie I would tell my grandpa to watch. I think this was a great movie and it is one I would be willing to watch again.
Race (2016)
Race
I am watching this movie for a history though film class. The filmmaker is telling us how other countries treated each other. You could tell that they didn't get along while the war as going on. You could this movie was in the 1920's because the way the arenas looked. You could also tell by the way people dressed. Another way you could tell this movie was in the 1900's was by the way their running shoes looked. One thing that makes me question historical accuracy was how people got the races on the tv. The way people dressed is similar to other movies.Another thing that was similar was how their microphones looked. I liked how he didn't let what other people say about him bring him down. I also liked that he had good sportsman ship even when other people were being mean to him. I didn't like how the person running the olympics wouldn't meet him because of his race. I think this movie had a really good learning lesson with it. I think this was a good movie. Yes I would want to see movies by this director and these actors.
A League of Their Own (1992)
A league of their own
I am watching this movie for my history through film class. This movie took place in the 1900's. The filmmaker is telling us that there were things that helped people get though hard times. This movie also told us that baseball is for boy and girls not just boys. They are also telling us not to give up when things get hard because the only way you get better is by pushing your self when things get hard. In this movie the girls wore dresses when they played baseball because of the time period. In this movie the girls are known as female baseball players not softball. You could also tell this movie was from an older time period because of the way the score board looked when they were playing in the world series. One thing that made me question the time period in this movie was when they brought one of the players a letter letting her know her husband had passed away. They cars that they ride in in this this more similar to ones that we have seen in other movies. I liked how they didn't bring the other team down when they won the world series. I also liked that they still gave it their all when they were loosing. I didn't like how rude their coach was to them, I didn't think that they were very supportive. I think this was a very good movie. I liked this movie. Yes I would want to see other movies by this director and by these actors.
Cinderella Man (2005)
Cinderella Man
I am watching this movie for my history through film class. This move took place during the great depression.This movie showed us ways people struggled after and during the great depression. It showed us how it could tear a family apart trying to make an living. It also showed that hard work pays off in the end. You could tell this was an older movie because the boxing ring they were in. You could also tel by the microphones they were using. Another way you could tell was by the houses they lived in and their form of transportation. There was nothing in this movie that made me question historical accuracy. I feel like everything that was happening matched with the time period they were in.

It is also telling us how Wonder Woman came about. Wonder Woman is a super hero from a long time ago. This movie everyone rode horses and not in cars. They didn't have the technology that we have today. They used swords as their weapons in war they didn't have guns and bombs. One thing I do question about this movie was how nice their places were. In this movie they ride horses just in like all the other movies we have watched. They also don't have phones to play on in these movies. I liked how this movie was interesting all the way though the movie. I also liked how everything looked so real in the movie. I didn't like how rude her mother was.

I am watching this movie for a history through film class. This movie is to teach us about problems we face and getting though them. The filmmaker is telling us how to be strong. They are also telling us about the war that was going on at the time. This movie gave me the idea that everything works out on its own. It tough us how to get though tough times. The clothes they were wearing gave us an idea of why they were wearing what they were wearing. They didn't have very good weapons. They didn't have the tools they need to fix Johnnys hand. People wouldn't hire him because he only had one working hand. I wonder how they got the weapons they did. I also wonder how they managed get color into the movie. They all wear similar clothing to other movies. Their weapons also look similar to the weapons they use in other movies. I liked how Johnny stayed positive.
