Almost Famous Citation

In human history through time, the male would be out in the world, leaving his mark. But because of Jeff’s injury, he has to rely on the female figures of the movie. This is leaving him with the sense of temporary castration and without any sexual desires. He has to replace his stimulus with whatever he can: in this instance, watching his neighbours leading their lives. His need for voyeurism has reached the point of perversion. In the beginning of the film, after he takes a look around the neighbourhood, his leg itches him. He relieves it with a wooden spoon and his motion reminds me of masturbation. His face lights with satisfaction, like he had just relieved himself.

The two serial killers shared similar childhood traits. They both experience abnormal things in their early life. Jeffery was born into a beautiful family, but after getting surgery for two hernias he became different. Especially after his baby brother was born he became distant from

Throughout Jeffs time at this so called “prison,” he is constantly being stripped of all of his freedom, as well as his feelings. Although he is a convict, many of the experiments taking place on him are inhumane; it becomes increasingly clear in the dialog between Jeff, and the head scientist at this prison, Abnesti. Towards the end of the story, when Jeff is reluctant to give Heather the “Darkenfloxxed,” Abnesti is quoted saying, “Do I remember birthdays around here? When a certain individual got athlete’s foot on his groin on a Sunday, did a certain other individual drive over to Rexall and pick up a prescription, paying for it with his own personal money?” Abnesti is using his minuscule good deeds in the past to prove that he is still on Jeff's side; indicating that Abnesti is an unstable human being, who does not feel how wildly this experiment has gotten out of hand. Also, he is

One film that was very close to this one was last years highly famous, "Ray". The biography of blind musician ray Charles. Both are high profile motion pictures about major recording stars who recently died (Cash passed away in 2003, four months after the death of his wife, June Carter). The music the 2 of them play is different, but there are very similar plot fundamentals, among which are drug use. "Walk the Line" I think is a better film. It 's put together with more style, and it never seems to get boring, unlike "Ray" which near the end seems to drag on for a bit. "Ray" had much more fantasy as opposed to "Walk the Line" which was all completely based on Cash 's own words. This movie also has a powerful plotline that "Ray" didn 't, a love story! To me, that 's what made this film much better than "Ray".

The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.

Although Big Jeff is very compassionate towards his family, unintentionally, he is not letting his cousin, known as Little Jeff Purcell, have his own identity. Big Jeff is oblivious to this, and is doglike in his loyalty to his cousin. "He haunted his room and patiently endured his abuse just to sit in the corner and watch him shave

Conflict occurs when there are opposing views with those of higher authority, the oppressor, and those beneath them, the oppressed. In “Project Classroom Makeover,” Cathy Davidson explores the struggle between the current state of the American education system and the necessity of an improved one. Correspondingly, in “The Ecstasy of Influence: A Plagiarism,” Johnathan Lethem highlights the problems individuals encounter dealing with the premises of governmental limits on intellectual property. Comparably, in “Selections from Reading Lolita in Tehran,” Azar Nafisi examines the strife between the Iranian citizens and the authoritarian Iranian regime. Overall, people create conflict with the authority of their larger social group because

Life. Survival. Death. In the memoir, Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie and his father are Jewish prisoners during the horrifying Holocaust. The concentration camp called Auschwitz is unbearable. Millions of people, goals, and dreams die and the chances for a normal life are slim. Elie and his father were distant before arriving in the camp but they grew closer and became dependent on each other due to their situation in the worst part of their life.

Throughout the film, I have to remember that this is a professional voyeur. He is paid to look at people through a lens. So I have to say that looking is an essential part of his everyday life. In a conversation he has with his nurse in the beginning of the film, she tells him that " We have become a race of peeping toms" reinforcing our suspicions about Jeff's part in the narrative.

the first of its kind to be made with a small budget, unknown cast, and limited resources. This proves that this film is unique by showing how differently the director and actors

“I’m a golden god,” Russell Hammond shouts from a roof top as he is about to jump off into a pool from a bad acid trip. The iconic rock-n-roll scene of inflated egos and strung out rock stars. However, this is a rare occurrence in Almost Famous. It is a story of a boy, William Miller (Patrick Fugit), becoming a man while learning about the rock-n-roll culture with his only true friend, his tape recorder. William, age fifteen, is traveling with the band Stillwater to interview them for a Rolling Stone article, along the way he has many interesting experiences. Some of these including letting all the groupies stay in his room, almost crashing on an airplane with the band, and falling in love with the illustrious Penny Lane.

When Jeffery (Maniac) Magee was three years old, his parents had tragically passed a away due to a trolley crash. Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan ended up being his legal guardians. They absolutely hated each other, but they wouldn’t get a divorce because they were strict Catholics. This environment wasn’t good for Jeffery to be in.

Almost Famous represents the spirit of the 70s in all its "it's all happening" glory. The yearning for "true" rock 'n' roll and the awkward convergence of the old and new through music and fashion is clearly highlighted in the film. In trying to emulate the 70s, the Almost Famous succeeds in making a film that can be considered a coming of age story while also capturing the essence of the human experience in all stages of life. From William's struggle to be cool to Russell's quest for something "real" to Lester's acceptance of his utter uncoolness, the film outlines what I think are the three broad stages of life: adolescence, midlife crisis and acceptance. The hectic and confusing world of rock 'n' roll especially

His background and early life mentioned earlier proves his actions of aggression and impulsivity. His diagnosis is ASPD comorbid with substance abuse, and accompanied with sadistic, necrophilia, and obsessive features. The sadistic and obsessive feature comes from his sexual pleasure to harm and control others. Also his obsessive features can be linked with his canabalism. “Dahmer reported that he felt an intense need of consuming the flesh of the dead body in order to incoporate the other in his own self, and he experienced this as a sexual sense of closeness and unification” (Martens,2011, pg.504). His necrophilia feature has been present sense his early adolescence. His low self-esteem, and unsocial behaviors may have easily led him down the path to developing ASPD and his other features. Jeffery’s mother also “suffered from hysteria, depression, suicidal
