Week 8 EOC: Bang-Bang Club


The Bang -Bang was a great movie that I’m for sure going to watch again. The movie did a great job of showing the life and the job of a conflict photographer as well as how the job and the awards affected the photographers. The photographers faced extreme danger not only physically but emotionally too photographing these conflicts. The men in the Bang -Bang club took the stress differently but they all had some type of reaction. The scene when the man that want to be in the club gets shot really shows the danger they face on the job. Some of the photographers won the Pulitzer prize which you would think is a great thing but for them there was negative reaction to the prize, some said Greg was lucky, others said it was for whit man’s purposes and others said Kevin was evil for not helping the little girl in Sudan. The Pulitzer prize is a great award, the problem that it makes for photographers like the Bang-Bang club is the attention that it attracts for people to be negative.
