Old and ancient movies 

There are many old and good movies, but I will write about the one that has made me think the most, like Gone with the Wind. That movie is set in ancient times when there was racism, and the film is very harsh in parts that are sensitive for people today; including myself, I don't like mistreatment of others. You have to watch the movie thinking that it was set in the late 19th century, written in the early 20th century. It's about a very wealthy family who owns land where they have many slaves on cotton plantations; working from dawn to dusk for nothing. The rich, spoiled, and conceited girl had to suffer through poverty and many problems because the war caused many wealthy people to go bankrupt due to the Civil War. She married several rich men she didn't love, but after being widowed, she finally married the one she wanted. She lifted her family out of poverty and left one sister single because she took her and married her boyfriend first. The movie is long, with parts showing slaves and sayings that are bothersome; you have to watch it with the mindset that everything was like that back then. This movie is not ancient, but it is old: My Enemy, My Ally.

A war set in a futuristic time is depicted, where humans extract minerals on a planet suitable for human life. There is a war between a human and a being that looked like a reptile. Both got trapped on that planet after waging a war against each other, sent by their superiors because they are soldiers; they themselves damaged their ships in the war, being shot down, and after fighting on land and realizing that they might not be rescued, they take refuge in a cave where it begins a friendship and the differences set them apart, and they discover they have much in common. The reptilian man becomes pregnant and dies, leaving his child in the care of the human, who had previously taught him the song that narrates his lineage and had to be sung in front of the congregation of his species. The human took care of and raised that defenseless being, regardless of it being from another species and an enemy. He played the role of a guiding and protective father. The boy, now grown up, about six years old, was caught by humans and they started bullying and playing with him.

With him as if he were nothing and ended up inside the hellish place where the humans mined. The adoptive father went to find him and confronted the humans, where things didn't go well, and rescued the child, managing to take him to his home planet and sing the song that narrates his lineage before the congregation of that species. This movie was made to make one think and become aware of acceptance and against bullying because we are all equal.

I have seen countless movies, some I remember and others I have forgotten; one that stayed in my memory, I don't know if it was because of the impact, the message, or my age at the time, was The Witches of Eastwick. Some women in a town meet a man; he wasn't very good, and they made a voodoo doll of him and made him live calamities with it. Then he wanted to take revenge; he was a powerful sorcerer, a demon, but they managed to burn the doll, destroying that monstrous being; later he appeared on television watching his three children, whom he had with each of them at the same time.
