Resultado de imagen para the harder they come

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film?

 I like the story behind the film, because you can see a different reality.  In addition, I love the reggae music, and investigate this movie was very important for the process to popularize this type of music.

 Furthermore, I dislike the violence reflect in the film, because I very sensitive and this scenes produce me displeasure and anxiety. Especially, the scene when Ivan Martin stab a person. In this moment, I close my eyes and I feel very bad. 

 2. Who is your favorite character from the film?

 My favorite character is Elsa, because she is the most important female character. In the most part of the cultural products that I see, I like the female characters, because I feel represent with them.

 Nevertheless, I don´t like the female role in the movie. Because the women were subordinate for men and they took advantage for this situation.


 3. Would you recommend this film to someone, why/why not?

 I recommend this movie a person that wants learn about Jamaica, reggae, life after the independence and criminal life. But, I will talk the violence scenes and the female role  context that 70´s.

    Well, I believe that is no a movie that you can easily reccommend unless your friend have an especific topic to learn/want to study/see about. It's a movie hard to rate, isn't?

The Pain Tree

1.  Who is your favorite character from the story and what kind of background do they come from? Why? (Use examples from Michelle Cliff's essay, If I Could Write This in Fire, I Would Write This in Fire ) My favorite character is Lorraine, because she represent a strong woman, and I like see wonderful women in different stories. Because, I love the form like Esther Pearl represent the relationship of Lorraine and Larissa. This relationship represent the opression lived persons for being themselves on Jamaica, and this story can be see around the world. 2. Why do you think Lorraine’s mother mocks the workers that want independence from England? I think Lorraine´s mother lived in a privilege social class and she never wanted support to strikes for Jamaican independence. This position can be see in our country, because the conservadurism people like to conserve the order. 3. What is a “pain tree” and how does it play a role in the story? The pain tree is a form to repres

Rockers Film Review

1. How does Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace from  Rockers  compare to Ivan Martin fro m The Harder They Come ? Ivan Martin is a represent the music industry and he shows the bad part of the fame and power. Furthermore, Horsemouth is a hero because he gives money for poor people. I think they represent a two parts of the same coin, the jamaican culture sight from two different points of view.  The first point, shows a Ivan Martin like a man that transform for the money, because when he was poor, he was a different person, he come from to the farm and the city and their lights and bad habits, change his mind in the bad way. The second point, evidence a man, Horsemouth, with a strong courage for follow his values, because he steal money from rich people for gives a poor people. 2. What is your favorite scene from the film? Why? My favorite scene is when Horsemouth steal the company, because is the most funny part of the movie. It´s a point of break, a different thing in
