Introduction
Miguel Pinero’s film Short Eyes is a 1977 American movie that reflects Miguel Pinero’s drama of a similar theme, absorbed by Robert M. Young. The film took place in Manhattan Men Detention House, then regarded as The Tombs. Miguel stands out from other writers because he entwined an admirable globe with an imaginative world (Bemler). Even if Miguel Pinero was a Puerto Rican foreigner wealthy child who stayed in the city of New York, his father’s departure from the household left Pinero stressed for food. Most unlucky events can push a true illustrator to generate something attractive, and that was the situation with Pinero’s bothered past
Summary
Short Eye is a story concerning a cellblock terrified into a murderous and hostile anger situation by the influx of a white man accused of molesting a young one sexually. To such Puerto Rican and black convicts, this crime is an unpardonable sin. The man immediately gets ostracized, making it fairly vibrant that people will not accept the man. Among the few subtle souls in the team, Juan pays attention to the story, a weird, almost surrealistic, and touching definition of such a crime (Bemler). All the repressed corporeal stiffness and panicky prison life humor are evident in this harshly naturalistic film (Bemler).
Racial abhorrence flares up; the presence of a homosexual seduction scene, masturbation talks, and murder. Short Eyes has a regular strength and persistent practicality that just cannot quit. The film’s ultimate message is that the custodial is a miniature of humanity’s bigotries, defined hates, and group weights enforced in contradiction of objectionable outsiders.
The Response/Reaction
In the current world, racism has roots in most prisons where people from the same race regard themselves as a family and discriminate against other people from distinct races. However, amid the challenges, people still struggle to make their ends meet amid their challenges. The text is similar to my ideas, feelings, experiences, and life. Sometimes, things fail to work on my side, yet I am in trouble; I often engage in other legal or illegal activities to survive.
The film has changed how I perceive people from other races since it enabled me to know everybody is important in their way. In addition, the text also displays different ideas relating to sexuality, violence, crime, racism, and prison injustices that are crucial in making daily decisions (Bemler). Precisely, Pinero’s father’s departure contributed to Pinero committing petty crimes, which made him end up in prison, known as ‘Sing Sing’ in the early 1970s. Individuals should avoid engaging in petty crimes that may land them in prison challenges.
The Biopic Piñero
Pinero, an American biopic in 2001, explores the bothered life-author of Miguel Pinero and Nuyorican, featuring colleague Benjamin Bratt as the theme character. The Cuban film creator, Leon Ichaso, premiered at the film festival of Montreal in August 2001 and received an incomplete theatrical announcement in the US in 2001 December (Pinero). Pinero explores the tale of a creative and turbulent Latino icon life, the poet-author Benjamin Bratt.
The city of the latter poetry is famous for its precursor to hip-hop and rap. Pinero converted a star to various people in both Latino and the theatrical worlds. After engaging in uncompromising ‘sing-sing’ for trivial drug dealing and thefts, Pinero’s theft involvements transformed into the 1974 Tony-designated play Short Eyes (Pinero). However, the resulting fame and disgrace were too much for the Latin bad-boy prodigy, who later died prematurely in 1988 and left his legends living.
Personal Reflections
The Biopic Piñero by Leon Ichaso has a positive correlation with the challenges in the present-day world. Today, most people engage in activities that are against the law to gain fame and become famous without considering the consequences of their choices. A similar situation happens in Pinero whereby Pinero Miguel engages in thefts such as drug dealing and becomes famous (Pinero). Still, at long last, he dies while in prison without achieving his goals and lives his followers alive. The Biopic Piñero by Leon Ichaso neither relates to my ideas, feelings, or experiences since I never admire engaging in robberies or drug dealing actions to gain fame or earn a living.
The film has changed my perspectives about life challenges as it has helped me recognize that a person should live within their standards. The points discussed in this movie, such as life in prison resulting from thefts and drug dealing, are important since they alert leaders to avoid engaging in actions to avoid suffering in prison. However, the film has challenged my views and does not exhibit the accuracy of language, appropriateness, and ideas since it lacks coherence, entertainment, and appeal. I disagree with some content in the film since the film does not clearly state why Pinero was so destructive and never kept his job.
Even though, Pinero won various rewards even though he was imprisoned for engaging in thefts. Precisely, every action has its consequence, either a positive or a negative one. People should avoid engaging in activities that may land them in trouble.
