Do the Wrong Thing

I don't think Mookie did the right thing. I felt horribly for Radio Raheem and the cop that killed him in no way had to do that. On the other hand Radio was fighting the power of the cops and some force was necessary. After the death of Radio Raheem Mookie threw a trash can through Sals window. Why did he do this? This was right after Sal called him a son. What Mookie did was reckless. This act of rebelion sparked a total uproar and in the end ruined Sals store. I wouldn't say that white property is more important than black life but in this situation white property was very unnecessarily ruined were as Radio Raheem was boarderline needed to be stoped and killing him might have been the answer.

Drum Line of Algiers

After viewing the Film, Battle of Algiers, I have seen the least entertaning film of common recolection. The film was a lost cause when it came at me with black and white and subtitles. Besides the dead technology it just wasn't a fun picture. I can't understand why it got such reviews as "Best Movie I saw All year," and "Astonishing," heres my responce to those reviews. They have only seen one movie that year. In no way could this movie be an all timer or even a good movie you forget about. This movie was unbearable to watch. I did find one review I thought suited well however. "Pulses with energy, as urgent, intense, precient as ever." I'll give the movie the pulse. In no way is it due to any other reason than the simple drum line in between important events. It seems like this class' theme is sweet non diagetic music in movies. Starting with OUTTW when the Harmonica kept playing and now the drumline in BoA.
