...Abstract I will talk about the movie Any Given Sunday in which Oliver Stone directed. I will talk about how Oliver Stone portrayed war on the screen onto the gridiron and into the world of professional football world. I will talk about how in the movie the owner Christina Pagniacci played by Cameron Diaz, does not see the players as people but as meat. How the business part makes her not feel for her employee's health or mental capacity and only looking at what they can do for me now. Any Given Sunday When I sat down and watched Any Given Sunday director Oliver Stone really brought out the realism in the football world. In the sport of football you have people eyes glued to the game either by television or in person. You have men and woman young or old watching this sport as a gladiator going at each other like there is no tomorrow. Oliver Stone also shows all the sides in how the game has changed from a true sport into a cut throat business. Where players and the doctors don’t care whether they may be permanently injured as long as they can make extra money in the process. Which the move shows the team doctor Harvey Mandrake played by James Woods clearing defensive end Luther 'Shark' Lavay played by Lawrence Taylor to play. Dr. Harvey knows that if he gets hit or is hit could kill him or be brain dead from all the concussions he has received in his career. He does not mind taking that risk because the only thing he needs is to get his tackles in order for him to...

...top of the staircase, announcing ladies as they come into the room. When he gets to the stepsisters, he is hilariously horrified by the way they act and talk. Throughout the show, they have been shown as dumb girls who always have to try and be better than the other, and always mean to Cinderella. The chemistry between the stepsisters could be felt throughout the whole auditorium, but it’s hard not to when the two girls playing the stepsisters, Serenety Hooper and Katie Bash, are best friends in real life. Christopher, portrayed by Jack Yeater, goes around to every girl and starts dancing with them to try and get to know them each a little bit. When he gets to the sisters, they both make complete fools of themselves, but who would expect any less? The moment Cinderella appears at the top of the staircase was the most iconic moment of the whole performance. The lights went down and there was a single spotlight on her and the piano was playing very dramatic background music to set the mood. After that, the whole crowd on stage fanned out the sides of the stage, so it was only the two of them on stage, dancing to the song 10 Minutes Ago, which basically is the song they sing that was...

...Janet Salguero Aaron Hillyard Writing 121 Video Essay 13, March, 2014 Essay # 2– “Any Given Sunday” Football has always been one of America’s favorite past time sport, a sport that has been around for 145 years and a game that is a religion to some individuals. “No guts, No Glory!” I remember my high school couch always scream out into the stands and the team cheering that same chant into the battle field. Football is a very intense and dangerous sport that young men play to hold the glorious title of “Winner,” seizing the opportunity to show off all their incredible football skills. In the movie, “Any Given Sunday” there is a famous scene were Al Pacino the head couch, gives a common but important inspirational speech to get his team all riled up and ready for battle. Giving the opposing team a run for their money and fight for every last inch they need to get to be victorious in the game. In every great sports movie there is always that locker room scene that gets the team pumped up for the win or lose game, with inspirational heart pumping background music. Making you feel like you are right there in the locker room, living in the moment and thinking it’s all or nothing at that very instance. The head coach reaching into each individual player’s soul and heart giving them that push to leave everything on that field to give everything they have, like it was a life or death situation. How many times have you seen that famous locker room scene and how does it make...

...exception. That is why we have to listen to the murmurings of the people, feel their pulse, supply their needs and fortify their faith and trust in us whom they elected to public office. [applause] There are many amongst us who advance the assessment that the problems that bedevil our country today which need to be addressed with urgency, are corruption, both in the high and low echelons of government, criminality in the streets, and the rampant sale of illegal drugs in all strata of Philippine society and the breakdown of law and order. True, but not absolutely so. For I see these ills as mere symptoms of a virulent social disease that creeps and cuts into the moral fiber of Philippine society. I sense a problem deeper and more serious than any of those mentioned or all of them put together. But of course, it is not to say that we will ignore them because they have to be stopped by all means that the law allows. Erosion of faith and trust in government – that is the real problem that confronts us. Resulting therefrom, I see the erosion of the people’s trust in our country’s leaders; the erosion of...

...PHILIPPINE LITERATURE Philippine literature is the body of works, both oral and written, that Filipinos, whether native, naturalized, or foreign born, have created about the experience of people living in or relating to Philippine society. It is composed or written in any of the Philippine languages, in Spanish and in English, and in Chinese as well. Philippine literature may be produced in the capital city of Manila and in the different urban centers and rural outposts, even in foreign lands where descendants of Filipino migrants use English or any of the languages of the Philippines to create works that tell about their lives and aspirations. The forms used by Filipino authors may be indigenous or borrowed from other cultures, and these may range from popular pieces addressed to mass audiences to highly sophisticated works intended for the intellectual elite. Having gone through two colonial regimes, the Philippines has manifested the cultural influences of the Spanish and American colonial powers in its literary production. Works may be grouped according to the dominant tradition or traditions operative in them. The first grouping belongs to the ethnic tradition, which comprises oral lore identifiably precolonial in provenance and works that circulate within contemporary communities of tribal Filipinos, or among lowland Filipinos that have maintained their links with the culture of their non-Islamic or non-Christian ancestors. The second grouping consists of works that show...
