"Set it Off" and "Easy Rider"

Leaving Normal was an okay film. I honestly am having trouble even specifying the details of the movie even though I attentively watched the entire thing. I did find it kind of boring and slow at different parts.

I would have to say my all time favorite road film is a toss between "Set it Off" and "Easy Rider". I guess I enjoy the rebellious aspects of the road film. "Set it Off" demonstrates the oppression and struggle it takes to move up a class or try to make a better life for yourself when you live in the ghetto. I enjoyed the passion of these girls and the motive of the film. I also enjoyed "Easy Rider" because of the rebellious lifestyle Dwight and Billie choose to live out on the road, and the way in which society tries to place them back into society.

I loved this class! Thank you Prof Zita!
