Oscar Recap

This year's Oscars were notable. Spanning from the awards to the infamous slip ups different celebrities had. To some extent, I sympathize for John Travolta, haha, but he should have shown up to the Oscars rehearsals. Once again, Leo didn't win his well deserved Oscar. In my opinion, I think he should have won. Jared Leto was the thing that stood out to me the most. His speech was one of the only speeches that really stuck with me. Dedicating and sharing his Oscar with everyone who has ever battles with HIV or AIDS. But what I loved most was "anyone who has ever felt any kind of injustsice based on who they love." He seemed so humble, and just.... In touch with what his character meant and fought for in Dallas Buyers Club. I really look forward to anything else Jared Leto stars in. He really deserved that Oscar.

The Life and Times Of Harvey Milk

The other day, everybody in the Booker T. production of Execution Of Justice had to sit down and watch a documentary by the name of The Life and Times Of Harvey Milk. I wanted to say that.... It really provided a lot insight to Harvey Milk and also Dan White's lives. It had a lot of information, provided background information not only pertaining to the trial, but also to the lives of the victims and perpetrators. I thought at first that maybe because it was an informational documentary that it would be boring and not very interesting. However, I was wrong. It was actually... Fun to watch. It was enjoyable and it managed to capture my attention throughout the course of the whole film.  My favorite thing about the documentary was probably how much old footage they compiled of Harvey Milk and Dan White together. It wasn't like a normal documentary when there's like... Just a bunch of footage spliced together and a narration over it, The Life and Times Of Harvey Milk all had footage to correspond with what was being talked about in the film.
