1. I really enjoyed this movie! It was a great choice for documenting such a harsh time period. This movie was an amazing way of displaying the theme of how if you keep on having a positive mindset you will survive the harshest times. I agree with how just the small things can keep you going and help you stay alive and happy. If you think of the happier times and how things can be once the rocky part of your life is over with it just keeps you going and keeps you pushing forward.
2. Hosenfield saw that Szpilman was in such a deep state and he had nothing left, and I truly think that he felt bad for him. He saw how bad of shape he was in and he wanted to help. Also, he realizes that he is an unbelievable piano player and he has a remarkable talent, and he wouldn't want to detour someone from what they love and what makes them happy. I think that he saw that playing piano and thinking about music was the one thing that kept him going through this very, very terrible time period. After he played the piano, Hosenfield also realized that he shouldn't be marked as a jew and tortured because of that, and Hosenfield saw him at that moment as just another human. He saw him as someone who needed help and who was doing whatever he could to stay alive.
- Szpilman saw that for once after all of these horrible Nazis killed many people and tortured numerous amounts of people that this one person saw him not as a Jew but as a true piano player, and as a real human. As the war was dying down he realized that there still are good people in the world and knew what he was doing was wrong, and I think Szpilman knew he felt guilty so he put his trust into him because he saw for once that he wasn't someone who was out to get him just because of his religion, and he truly wanted to help him and save him.

Defiance
1. I really enjoyed this movie! It clearly depicted what happened throughout that period of time. The way the jews were treated was horrible, and their survival story was remarkable. This movie was a great way to clearly show how the jews survived within the forest. The Bielski brothers were great heroes and did whatever they could to make sure their community survived. I would definitely recommend this movie to others! It's a great story about bravery and about how if you stick together through tough times things with eventually get better.
2. This quote means that they escaped the harshness of the concentration camps where they would of most likely died, and then they escaped and most of the jews in the forest ended up living. Their revenge is them living. They survived and they escaped what could of ended their lives at any moment.
- Yes, the two can coexist. They all had to depend on the little amounts of food and warmth they all had but they learned how to fight in battle and hunt for their food. These brave men, women and children were living and fighting for themselves after escaping what would of been a harsh way to die.
-Yes, within these circumstances revenge is an act of humanity. These horrible humans were controlling mass amounts of people and not caring how many they killed while doing so. The Bielski brothers led everyone to survive and escape these camps, and by doing so they got revenge from the Nazis. The jews showed them that they didn't need to be controlled and that they could live proudly as jews and not be beaten down everyday.

Godfather
1. I thought this movie was okay. It definitely kept me on my toes and it was very suspenseful. I didn't like in my opinion that their was a lot of shooting and people getting killed left and right. I know that the shooting parts of the movie couldn't be left out but, personally I'm not a fan of that much gun use. The movie was a great interpretation of what went on during that time, and the directors did a great job of making it realistic and depicting how life was like during that era. I would recommend it to people who like a lot of violence and who are interested in what life was like throughout that time period.
2. Vito Corleone is the center of the film because he was the ring leader behind all of the crime that went on. He showed great bravery and watched out for everyone. Vito meant business and wasn't messing around. I think he used the method of tough love on his children, but that was for the best. He made it his point to protect his family and friends. When Vito died it was very traumatic part of the movie. You saw the happiness in his eyes running around with his grandson and it was a very surprising moment and it was very depressing. After Vito passed very unexpectedly I think everyone was thinking "What do we do now?" People were upset and yes, the crime probably went down but he was the center of it all so yes maybe the world began to become a better place slowly.
3. Organized crime I thought wasn't that open. Most people kept it on the down low. In the movie it seemed as though everyone throughout their family and in that group knew about everything that was going on, and that was going to happen. Organized crime to me seems like it would be very secretive within a small group of people that are involved. Yes, I think that this film is considered a "classic" because it really shows what went on back then, and what the people behind organized crime were thinking and their motives behind killing mass amounts of people.
