ghett'a life

My favorite character in the movie was Derrick. I ikwon that is a clishé, but I really conect with his history. It was someting enivitable, everyone loves the history of an athlete who braks his barries.
The character has different elements that made him really interesting for the audience, one of them was the rise of the athlete, who surpassed his complicated origin and a family tragedy in search of his dream. The second element was the "following the  dream" of the main character. Stay apart of political conflicts and ony practiced the sport that he loves. This situation was very hard for Derrick, because his own parents didn´t support him, in fact his father was shock because his son practice boxing in a "green" gym.

This is why  a like this character, because It doesn´t matter what happened Derrick never gave up with his dream.. 

Well  in the movie  we can see the political conflict in the clothe, because one side use orange and the other use green to represent their political position. The colors also work for divide the  territories between political parts, so nobody who use orange clothes could pass to green territory and was  the same for the  other side. 

The violence is the most importan consequences of political conflict. In the article Michael Manley´s vision talk about how violence was a conflict in Jamaica and after 1975 this it increased. We can saw the this same violence in the movie  when Derrick and  his family  was threatened for the gangster who controlled the territorie. 

Im this  movie exist diference  between the position of woman in society and the position that they have in the film The harder they come. It is hard to say if the diference is big ot little, because  in both films it is show us the life of people of defferent relaities, but the differences exist. 

You can saw the difference in Derrick´s mother, when she passes over authority of Derrick´s father and gave to her son alow  to keep practicing box. In the other side, in The  Harder They Come the  role of the woman was only stay at home and didn´t have opinion. We can saw this when the couple of Ivan Martin told him that he should stopperd his criminal behavior and he didn´t listen to her. In ghett'a life we can see  the oposite, Derrick´s mother imposed her decision over her husban, and this was enough to Derrick and the gym to allow him continue with his training

The Harder They Come

about the movie, i like the way the music have a relationship with the plot of the film. An example of this is when we can hear "you can get it if you really want" this letter have a really strong connection with Ivan Martin´s travel and his actions across the movie. Also i like how ends Ivan, because his dead was very similar a western scene like Ivan saw in the cinema

I know that is repetitive, but my favorite character in the movie was Ivan Martin, because this character have a very deep history . First, his mom did not accept him in her house, because she can not deal with him in this moment, she did not had money for two people. Second, Ivan just wanted be a singer, but he had to submit to the monopoly of music of Jamaica and for this the character it fell in crime.

i recommend this movie, but only people who can understand the context of Jamaica society or are fans of Jamaican culture, like reggae. the movie is a old production, for this the special effects are not good and some people  can think that the quality of the movie is inferior. But if we ignore the special effects the movie is really entertaining, and if someone do not know about Caribbean culture, they can also have a good time.

This film contribute to understand the Jamaican after independence from Great Britain. Is for the that we can know how did it work the musical industries, under control of one man, the producer, who decided what song became a hit and what not. Another thing we can understand with the movie is the strong presence of crime in the society and how easy it is to fall into it.
