1. Who was your favorite character (s) from the film? Why?

My favorite character is Derrick. He, like the other main characters in the film, fight for their dream. In this case, he wishes to be a boxer, the best in his country. He is also well aware of the corruption of the politicians. The corruption is so absurd it even influences sports and gyms. 

2. How does the film compare to the other Jamaican films from the 70s? (Besides visual effects, think about the plot and character development).

I think it compares to the other films because it has a similar plot: a young man trying to achieve his dream in the middle of corruption or other hardships. It's like they are all trying to fight against the current, some of them even getting carried away. 

3. How are woman portrayed in this film? Is it a little or big advancement compared to the films from the 1970's?

I think there's an advancement, a very small one. Women were still seen as objects or love stories. Dawn was the only women that was more than a role model mother. She was also very independent. 
Not even today are women free of those stereotypical gender roles.
