Last Man Standing

"Last Man Standing" took place in Texas town in the 1930s during prohibition in United State. At that time Texas has become more like a ghost town since the two rival Chicago gangs have driven off all the decent folk. John Smith, the main character is a gunslinger who allied himself with both gangs to his own advantage. He worked both sides against each other according to his own hidden plan.

For me, gangster movie is not my favorite one evcept American Outlaws because I love Jesse James. Last man standing is far from being a classic. I prefer romantic comedy movies because gangster movies are too violent for me. Moreover, I hate fighting and blood. If I have to rate movie, I'll give five out of ten. For those who are the gangster fans will want to see this. And if you are the big fan of gangster movies, don't miss "Last Man Standing"

Guerrilla

Guerrilla is the true story about kidnapping. Patty Hearst came from a rich and most powerful family in United States. She was kidnapped by SLA for almost two years.

Guerrilla is the documentary about cold war. I don't understand it much because it doesn't have subtitle even English subtitle. Moreover they speak quite fast therefore I couldn't catch any word. I think Guerrilla is a great cold war movie although I don't understandwhat they say. I saw only the pictures which are the real situations but I could learn some event that happened in that period

Trading Places

Louis Winthorpe III was a really respected senior employee of Duke& Duke, which was owned by the two broker brothers, Randolph and Mortimer Duke. Winthorpe managed their investment bank. He had a huge mansion, a butler, and on top of that he was engaged to marry the Dukes’ grand-niece, Penelope.Then, there was Billie Ray Valentine, a black beggar/con artist from the ghetto, who got arrested after the police busted his act as a Vietnam War cripple. Randolph remarked that Valentine turned to a life of crime because of the environment he was raised in. Mortimer argued by saying he would have turned out the same in whatever environment he grew up in because he was a ‘negro’. So, Randolph made a bet that even their respected employee Winthorpe, if his money, job, possessions, and fiancé were all taken away from him, would also turn to crime. And that if Valentine were put in his place, he would turn out to be an honest and responsible citizen. Mortimer accepted this bet.And so they bailed Valentine out of prison, took him to Winthorpe’s fancy house, and told him it was all his. Valentine wasn’t quite able to believe his luck. Meanwhile, Winthorpe was humiliated after being falsely accused of theft and drug-dealing (a ploy of the Dukes). He was fired from his job, stripped of his money, and barred from his own home. So, he became a destitute. But he was taken in by a good-hearted prostitute named Orphelia.During this time, Valentine was fitting in nicely to the upper class. Like Randolph predicted, he was behaving like a responsible and honest citizen. He even proved to be a genius at their business. People were now eager for whatever advice he had to give them. Mortimer was not at all pleased with the outcome.Winthorpe was not at all fitting in nicely like Valentine. Again, like Randolph predicted, he resorted to crime, showing up at the Dukes’ Christmas party with a loaded gun. Now, it was clear that Randolph had won his bet.Valentine happened to overhear a private conversation between the Duke Brothers. Now that Randolph had won the wager, which was (gasp) one dollar, they were wondering what move they should take next. Mortimer wasn’t sure if he wanted Winthorpe back, but both of them were sure they didn’t want a ‘nigger’ running their family business.After hearing the brothers’ intentions of throwing him back to the streets, Valentine seek out Winthorpe and informed him about the Dukes’ “scientific experiment”. Winthorpe was so incensed that he started loading his rifles to murder them. But Valentine had a better idea: to make rich people miserable was to make them poor. So the two of them teamed up to get their revenge on the Dukes. They found out that the Dukes had been hiring a man called Clarence Beeks in order to corner the entire frozen orange juice market. Valentine, under the pretense as Beeks, gave them false information on the crop report. This made the Dukes misplay the market and bankrupt themselves, while Valentine and Winthorpe used the correct information and got rich.

Prohibition in United States

Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933) was the era during which the United States government outlawed the manufacture, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages. It also includes the prohibition of alcohol by state action at different times, and the social-political movement to secure prohibition. At any time possession of liquor, wine or beer was illegal. Drinking alcohol was never technically illegal, but one who was drinking was liable for prosecution on the grounds that they possessed the alcohol they were drinking.
The prohibition or "dry" movement began in the 1840s, spearheaded by pietistic religious denominations, especially the Methodists. Some successes were registered in the 1850s, including Maine's total ban on the manufacture and sale of liquor, adopted in 1851. However, the movement soon lost strength. It revived in the 1880s, with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Prohibition Party. In 1881, Kansas became the first state to outlaw alcoholic beverages in its Constitution, with Carry Nation gaining noteriety for enforcing the Kansas law with many other states, especially in the South, enacted prohibition, along with many counties.
Prohibition was an important force in state and local politics from the 1840s through the 1930s. The political forces involved were ethnoreligious in character, as demonstrated by numerous historical studies.
Nationwide prohibition was accomplished by means of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (ratified January 16, 1919) and the Volstead Act (passed October 28, 1919). Prohibition began on January 16, 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect. Federal Prohibition agents (police) were given the task of enforcing the law. Principal impetus for the accomplishment of Prohibition were members of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and the Prohibition Party. It was truly a cooperative effort with "progressives" making up a substantial portion of both major political parties.
