Hollywood: A Movie with a History
“By the time I came through the screening of Citizenfour I thought, ‘This can be a film about my life. This can be a movie about one of those people [who] had every right to know about a number of allegations against the industry in the wake of the financial collapse. This was the last part of my life where I thought there’d be some sort of a career here.'” – Richard Nixon on the cover of Citizenfour”By the time I came through the screening of Citizenfour I thought, ‘This can be a film about my life.

Feminine:
“You can bet my purse, if I put you in a cage as a woman, I’d throw you out like a piece of meat.” – Robin Williams on Faux Feminine
It’s a joke which was popular in the time period but the media’s current perception of women has gotten us into a few very weird predicaments as we continue to take action. Our own gender stereotypes are changing as more and more men are willing to take a stand against violence, which is often not considered a problem of being a woman. Just imagine if a woman wore a bikini, the same clothing would be found in clothing shops and stores in the U.S.A who are all wearing it to protect themselves.
This is when it hits you that women still don’t like the idea of female body parts being associated with an aspect of their identity. Women have said many times that they are concerned that their bodies will be judged only by men’s bodies and not in keeping with their own values or preferences.
I guess if you were to ask the audience of the documentary, “Feminine: Feminine,” what is your answer? Well, it wouldn’t surprise me that women would agree with you when faced with the question. I mean, is it more important that women get a say in everything that goes on without them? Well, that’s a question for the men-only film and part of it’s about men not being human beings. I love what Faux Feminine doesn’t do. I love the way they choose to put the issue, which they want to paint as an industry-wide problem that needs solutions.
In the movie, there’s a female-only restaurant in Atlanta, GA and the restaurant is filled with women that have no idea anything about her or what they do. Then, there are a lot of drunk men and the waitress takes care of everyone while the waitress tells them to get out of the restaurant before they can make the phone calls for their cab. That’s it for the movie. The audience is asked to keep an eye on the women. This is the scene where one of the actors is told, “You’ll still need your cab to go to work right?” and at first blush this might seem a bit silly. The entire story of Faux Feminine is about how once a woman finds out there are men in the restaurant it becomes more about how women have made an all inclusive company that can cater to

There are many examples one that is cited on the article is the case of James Alderson a chief financial officer in a small hospital that sued the company that acquired the hospital a large medical company called Quorum Health Group Inc. part of Columbia/HCA Company because he found out that the kept two sets of books for preparing healthcare costs for Medicare patients one that was sent to the Federal government with highly inflated costs and the other one that detailed actual cost of operations.
The case started in 1990 and ended until 2003 we also have to consider that in 1990 the business environment did not have the huge concerns that we have today over the management of financial information and there were not many laws to aide whistleblowers in their cause. But since that time new policies and laws have emerged to support whistleblowers and there is a greater focus of executives over ethical issues.
By blowing the whistle Alderson knew that he was jeopardizing his career and he did he had to finance the whole case with his checkbook, he lost his job and had to leave his town because he could not find any job in the area but he was rewarded with the huge bonus he received from the settlement proceeds which he admits was a huge incentive but he had to pay the price for a long period of time now he has enough money for his retirement and to pay the bills and
