film review 2




    The film My Louisiana Love Movie by Monique company's, Mark Crassness, and Sheron Lines Hong is a very good example of how natural disasters can be caused by humans.  The hour long documentary was released on May 20, 2017. The theme of the film is the fact that land loss increases our flood damage. In the film it shows how oil companies  would move into community land and destroy their land and health. Monique and her family were displaced by four hurricanes that were caused by the oil companies pumping oil.

     The film is made up of short clips, that was set up like modern day vlogs. The main characters Monique and Mark videoed their day to day life to express wat life was like for them. It displayed the damage that was being done by the oil companies and natural disasters. They were indigenous people of the delta. Through the years it shows how the companies doesn't care about the people who live there. They were giving them contracts knowing that they couldn't even understand  english and then only gave them from either $10-$20.

     The director achieve his purpose defiantly because by the end of the film you understand the importance of climate change and how it  is destroying our land here in Louisiana. The chronicle  film was put together beautifully, it was a clear cut film that was very understandable. The strengths of the film was the representation of real life situations. The weaknesses of the film was the fact that they didn't necessarily do anything to fight against their issue. Overall the film was very touching and inspiring. I say this because no matter what happened her and her family continuously to their  home land. I would recommend others to watch this because then people can realize how climate change gradually hurt us.

       The film is something I will always remember watching because it was so relatable being that me and my loved ones are located here in New Orleans. It was B rated film because it was good but it didn't really show how to fight against the issue. The film is reality and not just factual evidence.

Patriarchy

There is a long history of patriarchy and men running the world. Women are often mules in the wrongdoing of men  and are forced to abide by...
