It is about a young man struggle to find himself. He is unwillingly treated to a psychologist just to keep him out of trouble. In this journey, he finds out what he is and what matters to him the most. This movie uses strong and effective technique on evoking emotions and empathy to the audience through exposing them to various technicities of filmmaking such as color, camera technique and many more. After reading the book (OpenStax 2016), we can have adopted different kinds of psychological theory to explain this movie. Good will hunting is related with Erikson’s psychosocial theory of personal development (Neu-Freudian theory),Freud’s psychoanalytical theory and the five-factor model of personality (Big-five: OCEAN).

The following work aims to take a closer look at cultures, leadership and paradigms in Columbia Pictures’ (1992) film; A Few Good Men. This film provides many examples of differing cultures as well as illustrating examples of leadership, management, and followership. Many lessons can be learned; standing up for what is right and standing up for what you believe in are apparent, as well as leaders not always making the best decisions. At the end of the day, one must be at peace with the direction of their own moral compass and actions.

Additionally, in several night scenes, Lachman used long shot to shoot the whole windows in the eye-level only with the lighting from the rooms. This technique produced a circumstance that audiences are standing outside of the building seeing peeking what these people are doing. The window frames look like interval between characters. Dividing them visualizes the inner difference of characters. They are in the same genre of people. In the party of Harge’s parents, Carol smokes outsides and Jeanette steps in. The window frames separated Carol and Jeanette generating a boundary between them. Also in the scene that Therese and Danny are at the office of Time magazine, Lachman used the same cinematography method creating distances between two characters.

Many short stories have a single and very clear antagonist. However, as the story progresses, the author may begin revealing that the antagonist might not be who you once thought. In Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the real antagonist, or misfit, is not the escaped convict, but the grandmother.

Fortunately, there is a rising representation of women of color in media, playing parts that are more than just a wife or the exotic friend. Law and Order: SVU highlights the fact that women of color have a much harder time in the judicial system compared to their white counterparts in the cast. Many episodes deal with the rampant racism in the United States coupled with extreme misogyny, even when the women are in positions of power, such as judge or detective. However, most of the women are immigrants who are trying to provide for their family, but get scrutinized by the police as a scapegoat. This is the harsh reality of America’s treatment of hardworking women of color. On the other hand, Jane the Virgin is a show centered around matriarchal

The movie that I chose to write this research paper is called No Country for Old Men (Ethan Coen, Joel Coen and Scott Rudin, 2007). The movie takes place in Texas and it is about a man named Llewelyn Moss who is out hunting deer and comes across a drug deal. He sees trucks parked in a circle and discovers numerous dead bodies of drug dealers who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong.

The drug dealer’s boss hires a man named Anton Chigurh to track him down and

In my analysis of A Few Good Men using the generative method of cluster analysis to recognize the major dominating and resistant ideologies, I will look at three scenes that explain the ideologies present in the film. Each of these scenes include an array of characters and therefore will be useful in understanding how the symbolic interactionism of the film champions the militarism through the three scenes. Before going through each scene it is important to know that symbolic interactionism is a theory that human interaction and communication is enabled by words, gestures, and other symbols that have developed conventionalized meanings ("Definition of Symbolic Interactionism"). Also as mentioned previously in the literature review, militarism is the idea that the country should maintain a strong military capacity and be able to aggressively defend the country. Working through each scene I will briefly explain the scene to sort of set the pace, and then I will look at clusters and explain the dominant and resistant ideologies.

The movie Twelve Angry Men portrays an array of group dynamics by including the structure and functioning of groups, as well as the different types of roles each character plays along with their conflicts. The film displays these elements through a jury deliberation and the joint effort and the functioning of several minds together to search for the truth. These are just a few characteristics of group dynamics at work that is seen throughout the film.

Over the last several years, most crime dramas offer female representation as lead investigators. Women law enforcers are a familiar trope in the contemporary television landscape, but despite a closing gender gap, these crime dramas remain heavily masculine. There is an uneasiness that underlies on-screen female detectives. They are tough, but sometimes uncomfortably vulnerable and easily victimized. They are not girly, but they are often effortlessly beautiful. This teetering balance between the masculine and the feminine stems from cultural assumptions: our expectations for characters that work in law enforcement contradict our expectations for characters who are women. Unlike their male counterparts, the women who work in law enforcement must reconcile their femininity with the skills necessary for police work — such as physical strength and emotional indifference, traits that are traditionally associated
