The Movie takes place in Mexico City, it starts off with a rich man having to pay for his son's ransom, and that is what the whole movie is about, it is about money and kidnapping. A Body Guard is hired and is being payed very low because of his alcohol problem. He is hired to escort a daughter named Pita by a Wealthy man. His wife took a liking to the Body Guard immediately all because he was an American. The Body Guard had many related skills relating to being a Body Guard, however he had never protected children before. At first the Body Guard does not want to develop a friendship with the little girl but later on he does anyway. The Pita (the little girl/daughter of the rich guy) informs the Body Guard that there has been 24 kidnappings in the last six days, four each day. He is some how psychologically damaged from his past, he dislikes his job so much, he tries to fit in God into his life and wonders if God would ever forgive him (because of his psychological damage I can see why he has a drinking problem). Later on both the Boday Guard and Pita take notice of a car behind them, they both write down the license plate number. Pita is at her piano classes, the Boday Guard is waiting outside, a dog is let loose the Body Guard puts it back in the car from where it came from and all of a sudden he sees the familiar car pull up where Pita was coming out tries to kidnap her but the Body Guard pulls out his gun unfortunately cops get in the way, Boday Guard shoots and kills two, kidnappers kidnapped Pita. Turns out the cops were not on duty and yet still had their uniform on and exactly at the scene of the crime so they were crooked cops. A ransom was offered but no successful, later on turns out the head of the dapartment of anti-kidnapping stole half of the ransom money which was 5 million in total 10 million, but the head stole 5 million of paper not money, the other million went to the Pita's father's lawyer and the kidnappers and in a way he got some money back to help him out of debt but everything was placed on hold because the other half was fake. Of course the Body Guard discovered all of this by going back to the scene of the crimes going around asking questions to witnessess or suspects like a detective. He builds an alliance with a newsreporter named Maria and his old partner during his lasts jobs. The Father committed suicide and he made a deal with the kidnappers, "A life for a life." In exchanged the main Kidnapper's brother and the BodyGuard for Pita, Pita returned safely. Can you actually imagine going through all of that? Of course the movie is a bit exagerated, you just wouldn't be blowing off anyone's head off out of anger. Kidnapping happens every where in this world at any time and any place but rich people are the ultimate targets all because of the economic issues that a person faces that or because of greed.

Rene wants to become a star, she puts her trust in this one man who makes her think that he will make her a star but he doesn't so she breaks down kills the guy, tricks her husband to take the blame for the murder but he then figures out that she and the guy that she murdered were having intercourse, so he confessed that she did it, and then she confessed and ended up in prison. In reality her husband and then her future ex-husband should have been charged with being an accomplice. In prison she sees Catherine who was committed of a double homicide and meets big mama who is a corrupt warden in that prison. A group of women in prison start gabbing about how the one they loved or cared about had it common except for one, she did not murder her lover but was still in imprisoned by mistake. Rene is being used by Richard in order for her to get out of prison but since Catharine told her that Richard is always on the spot light René tries to make the spot on her. The more fame the better, more money and better title for the lawyer and better for the victim/defendant. This new murder comes and manages to start stealing the entire spotlight until Rene reveals to the newspaper that she is pregnant. What happens in real life was shown in the movie, an innocent woman was executed. What lawyers might do at times in order to win, they might lead the client, meaning that they might help them out in the court by giving them hints on what to say so it would make them look good. During court hearings sometimes surprise witnesses do pop out and objects are used as evidence to help against or for the defendant, but if evidence is being used it has to be within a search warrant and cannot invade anyone's privacy. After the case whether they are guilty or not some murderers or non murderers can become addicted to the fame that came with the trial. There have been cases were people end up idolizing and at times committing the same crime that some famous murder or ex-convict just because they wanted the same attention, these people have issues when it comes to being social with the world around them, most of the time I believe that these behaviors are influenced by the real or imagined presence of other people, which of course leads to social psychology.People like Rene and Catherine's character need psychological treatment. I am pretty sure that if they were to go to one they would be diagnosed with some time of severe disorder, murdering and then lying and being obsessed with the fame is definitely an abnormal behavior.
A portfolio documents work products and the effort engaged in doing that work.
A portfolio can take many forms (hard copy or digital). A hard copy portfolio will be in a binder with a table of contents and tabs. A digital portfolio is a website or blog.
A portfolio should impress and persuade.
A portfolio should showcase your skills and knowledge.
A portfolio can show growth and development (in other words it makes sense, and is okay, if work done later in the semester is 'better' than work done earlier in the semester). However, in our class where you get to choose what goes into your portfolio, it of course makes sense to choose your best work.
A portfolio is purposeful and organized.
You must include in your portfolio the required elements: 15 blog comments, 15 blog posts, your book report, and 13 projects. You may also want to include a section that has other blog posts and comments that you did (beyond the 15 required, each). You may include *anything* that you believe displays your effort, skills, and knowledge in the course.
