#IS SNOW ON THA BLUFF A TRUE STORY MOVIE#
It was an eye-opening movie that sparked conversation and confrontation to the problem that has been ignored for too long. This movie accomplished the goal of adapting the book and raising awareness for this issue.
These works focus on the systemic issue that many refuse to recognize. Throughout our course, we looked at various works that touched on the equality of this country due to race, for example, “Recitatif” by Tony Morrison and “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Dr. The legal system is flawed and this movie was able to bring attention to this topic. Many truly believe that they are condemned since the moment they are born and it is a reality that white people don’t see, are ignorant to, or have never been exposed to before in the media. This movie touches on many different subjects regarding the racism so many black men and women experience in their lifetimes. Police encounters and the legal system have deep systemic racism roots that need to be addressed. We see the racism and injustice that takes place and occurs to people of color in this country. The movie follows Bryan Stevenson speaking up and seeking justice for this man trapped in a system that is doing everything it can to ignore the facts. The case he takes on is the case of Walter McMillen, a man who was imprisoned and sentenced to death for a crime that he did not commit. This is a powerful and moving story of a young lawyer defending those wrongly imprisoned in Alabama. This movie is a drama that was released in 2019 and based on the bestselling book by Bryan Stevenson. The work that I decided to review today is the movie, Just Mercy. Posted in Text Review Leave a comment Text Review- Just Mercy Predating the Flint Michigan crisis, the film was largely groundbreaking as the general public’s lack of knowledge, as well as of the environmental/public health concerns of big oil and gas, is largely lacking. The director allowed the injustice to drive the plot, but portrayed it from the perspective of the wronged. The disregard for something as monumental as local citizen’s health is infuriating, and that theme is continued throughout the course of the film. Concepts of othering are extremely relevant as PG&E is a large conglomerate and clearly considered the “little people” to be others. The story itself is obviously laced with injustice and has an overall heroic tone as I mentioned.
The film has a somewhat heroic tone with the ending showing the effects of the $333 million settlement gained, largely in part to Brockovich, marking this particular case as the largest class action settlement in U.S.
Erin Brockovich is widely renowned for her tenacity, passion, and bold nature all of which are evident in her contributions to the class action suit involving PG&E and Hinkley. The film follows Brockovich along as she meets and gets to know the people in Hinkley affected, forming a connection with each one, with all of the actors in the resulting lawsuit likely regarding her as a friend. Brockovich stumbles on a single case and upon doing more research she is completely appalled by the blatant lies and cover-ups by PG&E. PG&E disposed of a carcinogenic hexavalent chronium in Hinkley’s local water supply leading to a multitude of serious and long-term health conditions in local residents. Said injustice came namely in the form of groundwater contamination by way of Pacific Gas & Electric between the years of 19. Brockovich is played by Julia Roberts and the storyline follows her journey as she fights against largescale environmental injustice. The woman the film is named after is an American activist who fought a gas and oil conglomerate in the Mojave Desert. The work I reviewed is the 2000 film based on real story Erin Brockovich.
