Media and Meaning: STUDENTS' TASK FOR WEEK 2

Made In JamaicaBy: Sha Haker s3126012I went to the movie 'Made In Jamaica', that portraits the leaders of the movement and the story behind the music: Religion and Rastafarism, sex, way of life and way of dancing. I found the way in which the movie opened really interesting, but after while the movie started to be all over the place, the characters and the story were not connecting one or other, and not connecting to the beginning of the movie.The movie was talking a lot about freedom and getting out of the ghetto, but all this was more for the men, and not exactly about the women , like they do not deserve freedom. The movie also show disrespect between men and women, throug talking, acting or thinking, and the sad thing that the women look like they are okay with it, and maybe it is because they do not know a different way? But what I found the worst, is that one of the singers (woman) sings without any respect for herself or for other women, so that men will like her and so she can make lots of money.The main thing about the movie was the music in Jamaica, and the sad thing that Reggae is not what it was, and today they try to be more aimed at American industry, with really tacky words, and lots about sex, sex and more sex.
