SiCKO:
Length: 123 minutes:
Summary:
A documentary by Michael Moore. SiCKO compares the highly profitable American health care “industry” to other nations. HMO horror stories and medical clients that had been robe and defrauded by the heath corporations (insurance companies) are the main characters of this documentary. Truth is the scariest characteristic of this movie, is really a shocking piece of work!
Reaction:
I was in shock when I watched this movie. I didn’t understand how this country can act in that way. Horrible and really dramatic, sometimes I can feel that I don’t feel safe with the heath system in America. Medical care has to be universal free and secure. Why is so expensive in America? Why big insurance companies act like they don’t care about what is happening about their people. We need change.

This movie is really good. I like Sean’s characterful personality because he uses different ways to treat his patient. He doesn’t want to press them and he treats them just like friends.

There were two dead including an innocent bystander, teacher Valerie, and one assailant that run on foot. Calleigh has a near –limit alcohol level and is internally neutralized pending the investigation by Rick. A blood stain in the car shows the fugitive is triple assault convict Pete, who Smith and Wesson ordered to fire at Calleigh and he confessed. The drvier is mark. However autopsy shows Gaynor was previously internally decapitated. Stetler finds six drinks on Duquense's bar bill, but four were actually ordered earlier by colleague Jake Berkeley. Paint traces on the teacher's shoulder matches the paint used by Brickel High arts colleague Dave Keppling, who claims he just gave her a relaxing massage. Her desk contained empty 'cheese' bags and a trespass complaint from Logan Sheridan's older brother Charlie. She really pushed her pupils hard, or as Wolfe thinks she might have been gathering evidence against a real pusher. Store clerk Andre Harding Charles has no explanation as to why the name of his store repeatedly appeared in her accounts booklet. The stray bullet from Duquesne' gun suggested she was no an accidental target. Then a tie pin is found in the shop rubble, which proved that Dave Keppling was there when Gaynor was killed
Reaction
It is a pretty interesting episode. Calleigh is involved in a very dramatic opening scene and then the team has to prove she acted properly. Does this sound familiar? It seems like almost everyone on the police show has been investigated and accused of everything under the sun. Later, "Eric Delko" had his problems being investigated and so has about everyone else on the CSI-Miami team. TV cop shows love to show Internal Affairs people as despicable bad guys, always trying to pin something on the good-guy cops. It's become a cliché.

During this hunting, one of the people who were captured escaped. He defended hid tribute by fighting with his enemies. He killed them and there was two of them remaining when settlers came to this place.
Reaction:
By this movie, Mel Gisbon wanted to talk about the Bible. The story of this movie refers to a world in which human are just fighting, and it is a little bit like our world. The presence of the settlers at the end ends all fighting and that is the real meaning of the title of his movie. Apocalypto means the end.

Over the police control, the FBI proceeded by negotiation but without success, the US army, headed by Wiliam Devereaux decided to enter the roads and take out all the Iraqi. Seeing that the army method could be dangerous, the FBI continues to operate and finally they were able to handle the situation.
Reaction:
To every trouble, an appropriate solution. This movie shows that the army and the FBI have two different working sectors and each of them should be considered when the time comes for intervention.
Another aspect is that any intervention about a problem should be the result of our reflection because If the FBI had left the situation under the army's control, there would be more blood than it was.

This film is a profound expression of truth regarding friendship and betrayal. Noodles, is a simple man: you can battle the entire world but you never betray a friend. During the course of this film we experience various pieces of Noodles's life, from his childhood, through young adulthood and old age.

But, as each piece falls into place, a mystery unfolds. When the final piece is revealed, the true essence of the story becomes clear and a sad and beautiful tapestry comes into view.
