1. Who was your favorite character (s) from the film? Why?

My favorite character is Derrick, because he represent the strong, the fight and the perseverance in all his expresion. I´ts very important to say that I think his qualities are very admirable because he fight for the lack opportunities, lack support, lack peace and other things.

I know that the movie represent in the character of Derrick the social class fight for treat to change this lifes and the lifes of the persons they love.

2. How does the film compare  to the other Jamaican films from the 70s? (Besides visual effects, think about the plot and character development)

I think this film is very most funny than others, because is more flash, have more effects, have better sound and quality of image. So, I know this is film it´s produced in 2011 and the others movies are very most old. For this reason, each it must be seen according to it´s production context.

3. How are woman portrayed in this film? Is it a little a big advancement compared to the films from the 1970s?
The woman in this film portrayed like the context near 2010, in this context the woman had more rights than the womans in other contexts. Specifically, in  the movie we can see a woman on principal characters, and they represent the similars cualities like Darrick: strong, fight and perseverance.

For example, the mother´s Darrick it´s a wonderful women, she fighted for her son and she had a clear values that she followed with all her heart.

So, we can see a advance than the 1970s film. But, we know they advance it´s not enough and we will follow fight for the reivindication of our rights.

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 thin...

The role of women was really important, since they were a reference for later feminist struggles, which have been reborn in recent years. In the context of a glob...

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...
