This paper presents a qualitative study that reveals an important perception among young African American male victims of violence that if they fail to respond violently to injury or the threat of injury, they will be at risk of further victimization. The social environment in which young male victims of violence live and the meaning of being a sucker must be considered in efforts to decrease recurrent interpersonal violence. Providers who care for young men who are victims of or at risk of violence should understand the implications of the social context on individual behaviors.Less

This chapter focuses on Leone’s aesthetic and cinematic language. In order to highlight the continuity and evolution of the director’s eye, it deconstructs and analyzes three famous sequences from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), Duck, You Sucker! (1971), and Once Upon a Time in America (1984). The analysis of composition, mise-en-scène, and cinematography unveils the political and ethical symbolism of Leone’s cinema. It also references film theory (Sergei Eisenstein, among others) and critical contributions on Leone’s works tracing out the visual construction of his political perspective, and demonstrating the continuity and evolution of his unique style.Less
