The Universal Vantage Point of Youth
When I was living in Moscow, a verbose acquaintance of mine once described the day tanks were shelling the White House (equivalent to a Senate). There was fighting and shooting around that building, but only one block away parents were simply taking their kids to the zoo!

It was an Innocent BBQ
While a number of countries have indigenous populations that have been downtrodden, films about what reconciliation movements suffer only from the length required to impart an individual’s fullsome story. “Where the Spirit Lives” or “Rabbit Proof Fence” both have very compelling stories and take the time those stories require. But how can we gain perspective offered with by in-depth personal examples in a succinct way that gains our respect? Don Featherstone seems to have directed one such film.

I’m No Longer Here / Ya no estoy aquí
If you reflected on Mexico's social class divide that comprised the intensity of Roma, then you need to watch I'm No Longer Here.

Dark Romance
In the mood for a classic nineteenth-century romance? What comes to mind? Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice? Or Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre?

Finding Myself
The minute I saw this challenge, I knew I had to write about the movie, "Summerland." Again. You see, I already entered a challenge before about why I loved this movie: https://shopping-feedback.today/geeks/i-fell-in-love-with-summerland. But, my mind (or heart) just wouldn't turn it off. So, this endeavor took me to a deeper look into myself to find the answers. The questions I had were telling.

The Holt of Moving Pictures
The human obsession with assorted pixels across a screen is almost enchantingly beautiful. Each original arrangements of small squares collaborating into the silhouette of Gru from Despicable Me on your baby cousin’s greasy iPad to Wonder Woman’s silhouette on the big screens of Hollywood. So many things to watch on so many devices. What does one even start? That’s where I come in, I guess.

A Diverse Phantasm
I'll start off by introducing myself. Hello World, My name is Maiya Parker and I am a independent animation film director. I am a black young lady pursing a Bachelors degree within film , and I specialize in Animation. I was motivated to become a cartoonist because I was never able to see a "black girl" like myself on television . As a child, it made me feel like I wasn't good enough because I never was able to see a diversity cartoon character. Honestly, my feelings were hurt to acknowledge animators were able to create talking animals / objects before a diversity female or male. Additionally, Disney presented one cartoon content of a diversity girl; name Penny Proud. Unfortunately, Disney present different princess but, it took forever to create an African American princess name Tiana. Which was premiered in 2009 ( I was 10 years old) ... Place yourself in my shoes for one moment. Imagine your childhood and you're watching cartoons up to age 10. But, now you're ten years old and finally a princess your skin tone was created. It would make you feel unimportant and question the directors as to why now ? Why did it take so long to create a princess my skin tone but, there was never an issue to create Snow White, Belle, Cinderella, and Mulan back to back. Not to mention, Disney gets a lot of credit for their work but, I don't approve of the film " The Hunchback of Notre Dame". My issue with this film is based on the character. Disney created a disability character , and in the film the minor characters calls him ugly and mistreat him. The film was streamed on Disney and sold through their dvd platform. Indeed, Disney is a huge streaming platform however, many people don't blame Disney for their mistakes. Over the years I became puzzle and perplexed about the diversity that get displayed on films platforms. Additionally, being a women of color within the entertainment industry ; you don't see "us" often.

If you watched To All The Boys: Always and Forever, you would love The Holiday
Boy Meets Girl. Girl Falls in Love. They get Married. The End. Back up a bit, this would be so simple if it weren’t so dull and unrealistic. This is not how romance works for most people let alone what people want to watch. People want to watch something relatable, if not an incredibly hot lead actor.

A Classic Love Story
I remember the first time I watched Pretty Woman. I had been seeing my fiancé for several months and had just started spending more time with him and his dad and was spending the night every weekend. We’d order take-out and either rent a Redbox or browse the cable channels for something good. My fiancé’s dad didn’t want to rent a movie this one weekend, so we decided to channel surf. He came across a channel that was playing the ending to another movie but was advertising the movie up next, which happened to be Pretty Woman.

Opposites DON'T Attract
Yes, my friends and readers, it is a fallacy that opposites attract. Sorry to burst that bubble. But, it is true. All the movies that supposedly revolve around this idea are, in fact, proving the opposite. Here are some examples I will be using: in no particular order, Beauty and the Beast, Sound of Music, Dirty Dancing, Grease, 10 Things I Hate About You, After, and The Ugly Truth.
