I originally thought that the movie 13th was based on the story of Friday the thirteen but it was much more scarier then I thought. Criminal is emphasize to describe what society saw black people as after the civil war. We see throughout the movie that history seems to repeat itself. Every obstacle a color person goes through a new one arrives. Freedom then separation, separation then incarceration, and it seems like society won’t give a break to colored people.
I was very interested in the fact about ALEC and how it had a great impact on making laws. It was a private organizations that is made up of cooperations and politicians. The make laws that benefit the big cooperations and there were many republicans that supported ALEC. I have never heard about this before and seeing this really opened up my eyes. It was very socking to find that out. We shouldn’t be creating laws for cooperations but instead for the good of the people.
Its really makes me sad when I watched the movie and it made me want to stand up and help. All the people who went to jail because they were black and media portrayed them as criminals or “super predator”. We see how the law is against the colored people and then we see how the law helps the white getting away with killing black people. Its kind of scary to see how the law is created based on many corporations. Its even more scary how people are put into prison or because they took up a plea bargin. The overall movie was very interesting and very scary.
