Joanne Haggar 6/30

The piece I have chosen for this assignment is the movie Eough with Jennifer Lopez. She is the victim of domestic violence and takes matters into her own hands when no one would help her. I kind of went off of the website that we looked at yesterday. I think this movie is great because J Lo stands up for herself when no one would listen or help her. It made me think of what we talked about today in class...we still have all of these issues in society because people don't want to get involved and so there is no way for someone to get out of the bad situation they are trying to get out of. J Lo finally has to take matters into her own hands and takes self defense classes in order to stand up to her husband and eventually kill him. Its a great movie if you have not seen it!

Notice in the movie trailer the guy who says, "The cops can't help you, no one can help you."--this is the problem, no one wants to get involved

  1. I love love love this movie! It's so empowering and i love how it really shows the struggle of a single mother trying to protect not only her daughter but also herself. My favorite part is definitely the end when she trains and can finally get revenge in order to protect both of them. Great Choice!
