Analysis Of The Movie Likewis

Addiction can come in many different forms but they all change the environment around the addict. In The Shining, Danny, a five year-old boy has an imaginary friend named Tony. Although both his parents, Wendy (mom) and Jack (dad), have knowledge of this friend, it isn’t until chapter 17 that they realize Danny could seriously be mentally disabled or disoriented. Jack can be described as four things: alcoholic, a playwright, high tempered, and abusive. He has only touched Danny once but that day would change Danny forever, and Danny would never mess around in his office again.

It can be argued that the recent divorce that William has experienced could be the cause for these behaviors. Divorce is a stressful situation and stress full situations can be accompanied by these behaviors. William would most likely be diagnosed with some form of depression. He would then be treated by a therapist and probably prescribed some anti-depressant. In hope that his hormones would become balanced by the drug. Psychologists know far less about mental health than they know about mental illness Baumgardner, Crothers, (2009). In this case the information that would be the most important to a traditional psychologist would be the events that have occurred in his life and the behaviors that he is exhibiting after these particular events happened. The conclusion would be to focus on mental illness and treat the behaviors causing depression, rather than focusing on strengths to make William a healthier person all the way around.

Tim Wise’s film “White Like Me” is an educational documentary about racism and white privilege. The film begins with Wise’s personal story on how he learned the importance of race at a young age after attending preschool at Tennessee State University, a historically African American college. Being one of the only Caucasian students and being taught by predominantly African American administrators, allowed Wise to gain respect for African American authority figures which ultimately made a huge difference in how he came to see the world. Throughout the film, Wise expands on his personal encounters with race while incorporating interviews with scholars and candid comments from white students discussing their opinions on some heavy questions

“End of Watch” is a fusion of great performances and amazing action. Director David Ayer did amazing job in both directing and script writing. Ayer is perhaps more known as the director to Training day. He is a proven writer, his previous movies.

In John’s case he has mentioned that he suffers from “chronic pain, depression, anxiety and stress.”

The movie “Wit” is a great educational tool for healthcare professionals in terms of dealing with terminally ill patients. It teaches that nurses and medical professionals should always remember that their patients are not a case nor illness nor experiment but rather human beings with souls and pains. Palliative care is one of the most disputed issues of worldwide importance. While bureaucrats in different countries are making laws on the use of palliative drugs, patients with excruciating pains learn how to “take deep breaths and be strong” (Nichols & Brokaw, 2001). That is what nurse Susie Monahan from “Wit” advises her dying patient Vivian Bearing suffering from unbearable pains due to stage IV ovarian cancer after eight painful rounds

Craig has an acute fear of people at school finding out about him being in the hospital saying, “People on the outside world don’t know what’s happened to me—I’m in a sort of stasis right now. Things are under control. But the dam will break. Even if I’m here just through Monday, the rumors will start flying, and the homework will pile up.” (Vizzini 244) Craig’s fear of being “found out” pushes him back into internal conflict,where he shames himself for an illness he cannot control.

The cinematic film Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele, presents a scenario in which African Americans are targeted by white people mainly for their physical advantages. The plot follows Chris Washington, a professional African American photographer who goes away for the weekend to visit his white girlfriend’s family. Chris’ best friend, Rod Williams, is a TSA agent who is concerned about Chris going to a white family’s estate. Throughout the movie, Chris discusses to Rod the strange events that occur in the Armitage house. Get out displays how two people use their intelligence and ability to identify social cues to escape from an arduous situation.

The movie “Wit” was very touching story about 48 year old English professor, Vivian, who is diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. Her physician gets her to agree to an aggressive chemotherapy treatment which is a research experiment. He tells her that the therapy is the best way to cure here cancer. Vivian went through eight months of rigorous and often painful experimental treatment especially the final weeks of her life. One of her former student, Jason, is a researcher on the team. Jason is very intelligent person but insensitivity to Vivian. He always come in the room and question such as “how are you feeling today?”, which after while loses all meaning. On the other hand she has her primary care nurse, Susie, shows compassion and sense of code of ethics which brings her into conflicts at time with the physician.

Clifford has an extensive family history of depression including suicide, and benign prostatic hypertrophy, but he has a very negative outlook of mental health feeling the need to hide it. Clifford is in a higher management positions with a fairly stressful job, does not take medications for depression and does not see a therapist. Clifford is vulnerable for

Although he got to experience emotions, the surgery Charlie Gordon had worsened his quality of life because he realized his friends were making fun of him, he could no longer conversate, and he became depressed.

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.” (Chbosky 1.1.4) Charlie is also struggling with being mentally stable for he can not even figure out what is going in his life and Hold. Also, both Charlie and Holden’s mental state gradually decreases with the lack of companionship.

When watching The Hateful Eight it’s clear that Quentin Tarantino was inspired by John Carpenter’s The Thing. There are quite a few subtle nods to the classic horror film as well as some not so subtle similarities. One could watch one right after the other and immediately see the similarities between the two films. While most people would not consider The Hateful Eight a horror film it takes the greatest horror aspects of The Thing and uses them to its advantage. Quentin Tarantino took quite a few ideas from John Carpenter’s The Thing and modified them so they fit seamlessly in to his western film, including actors, characters, and even some music that was originally written for Carpenter’s film but was never used.

Film can be a very useful catalyst in teaching how not to treat patients. In Analyze This and Analyze That, we see very extensive examples of this throughout the film. Through farce and lampoon, we see the in this disjunctive way what proper CBT, criminal therapy and combating recidivism is all about.

The negative self- cencept created by accusations of lying and the physical altercations/ lack of realtionship with his brothers could lead to a dimished sense of self- worth, leading to Bob’s feelings of depression. Murdock wrote that “depression, for example, would be seen as probably involving a negative self concept that resulted from an excess of conditions of worth” (159). This indicates that Bob’s negative sense of worth could absolutely be the cause of his depressive tendancies, as well as his constant state of sadness. This sadness and anxiety (as mentioned above, where Bob sees where his problems are affecting his relationships) are the cause of his inability to hold down a job, have a stable relationship with his girlfriend, and avoid interactions with his father and brothers.
