Analysis Of Thelma And Louise

The Outsiders message is about “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” It explains that nothing good can go on forever and nothing young can last forever. It tells you about how and why we should enjoy what we have and keep and cherish everything we have to its maximum limit. Why shouldn’t we cherish what we have? Why do we need more? Why can't we be equally treated with same amount of things such as money and houses? That is the real question. We have that to this very day. In The Outsiders, their lives are exactly like this. They have their awesome rich people lives and the poor have unhappy lives. Some of each gang just want to be normal, the same, or similar at least. But their money splits them up. All because of a little extra

The movie Mrs. Doubtfire was written by Leslie Dixon and Randi Mayem Singer. Leslie Dixon is also known for her works on Limitless, Hairspray, Freaky Friday, and Gone Girl. Randi Mayem Singer has not had as many works as Dixon but you may know her from her work on Tooth Fairy, and Jack & Jill. The director of Mrs. Doubtfire is Chris Columbus. He has directed a lot of movies but the ones that stand out to me are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Home Alone, Nine Months, and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

Overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. Have you ever felt that way at one point of your life? Many people have felt that way before or currently in a job that make them feel that way. That is what the play writer Annie Baker portrayed in her play “The Flick”, which won her the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The drama also deals with the challenges of friendship, love, and self-identity.

The two movies I am going to compare are Thelma &Louise and North Country. The sexual harassments to women both happened in these two movies, but the solutions of the main characters were different, and the outcomes of them were disparate, therefore, I wondered how did the main characters in each movie responded to the sexual harassment, and if it is different, why was it? By focusing on the different situations and personalities of the characters, especially Thelma and Josey, I’m going to compare and analyze the motivations that lead them to make such decisions and the ways that they dealt with the harassments.

As a result of the ending of the film, it demonstrated the ideology of character growth and sex norms. The ending illuminated Thelma’s final character, an outlaw, which became the end of her journey. However, perhaps more important is the idea of breaking the sex norms. The ending providing the message, “women are powerful and not just housewife material”. This is true because the two female characters disobey the law and chose death over incarceration, which is breaking the stereotype that female are gentle, caring creatures. In addition, it awakened homosexuality between two women. This is significant because Thelma and Louise broke the norm of a male and female partnership, by kissing each other, which demonstrate their affection for

positive movie. It seems to me, everything in the film has the intention to deliver a strong message to its female audience. Thelma & Louise is an excellent movie because it manages to show both the fun aspects of a road trip and its dark side, such as rape, trauma, getting robbed, and crimes against females.  Watching this movie reminded me of Brian Tracy’s book “Eat that Frog!”. In this book, he asks, “How do you eat an elephant?” and he immediately answers,” One bite at a time!” (Tracy 14). The 1991 movie Thelma & Louise, directed by Ridley Scott, reminded me of a big elephant. I had to analyze this big elephant of the world of cinema, bite-by-bite, sequence-by-sequence,

In Michael Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), the connections between people and memories become the focal point of a very unique romance. Through the use of new technology, the possibility of erasing memories makes painful relationships disappear like they never happened. The tale of Joel and Clementine allows the audience to rethink and question the process they undergo as beneficial or destructive. Though the process might be helpful in eliminating the pain caused from another person, four key scenes show how the lessons learned through relationship experiences are important.

Two friends, Thelma, an oppressed housewife and Louise, a frustrated waitress decide to take a weekend getaway from their normal lives and hit the road. Despite having good intentions, things take a turn for the worst when they decide to stop at a roadside bar. Thelma is involved in an attempted rape by a man she had just met. Before things escalated, Louise comes to Thelma’s rescue, but in doing so, killed the man trying to rape her. Instead of going to the police, Thelma and Louise decide to travel cross country and make their way to Mexico.

The film Matilda, created by Raold Dahl, tells the story of a gifted young lady named Matilda Wormwood, played by Mara Wilson, who was born into a very unaccepting and unsupportive community. She began her life in a very close-minded family. Her family did not support her thirst for knowledge and learning but rather were constantly pressuring her to be more like them; dishonest and unmotivated. When Matilda was of school age, she was overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of beginning school until she met Agatha Trunchbull, the school’s principal. Even from their first meeting, their relationship was a difficult one and this tension tainted Matilda’s school experience. As Matilda continued to grow and learn, she realized that her power of telekinesis could be used to negate the effects of Mrs. Trunchbull’s behaviour on both herself and all of her friends. Throughout the movie, Matilda continues to realize the power within her and the love she has for learning. This film analysis will be reflecting on three different developmental lenses including John Bowlby’s attachment theory, Lev Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and Jean Piaget’s stages of cognitive development and considering how each of these lenses relate to the film Matilda.

Women are expected to follow standards that have been established. In the movie, Thelma and Louise, these two women change many standards dealing with gender stereotypes. Director Ridley Scott uses gender stereotypes to create characters that we would not have seen in the 80’s and 90’s. The movie, Thelma and Louise inaccurately portrays women because of the way it uses gender stereotypes to label what women can do therefore putting a lot of pressure on women to be good and to follow rules that were put in place for them.

“Working Girl,” depicts important battles that women are still fighting today, it brings light to the ridiculous judgments and barriers that women had to smash to establish themselves in the business field. The film was written by Kevin Wade and released in 1988, the story is based in New York City from the inspiration of New York commuters and the noticing that many young women were wearing white tennis shoes on their way to work, carrying high heels to change into once arriving to work. Tess McGill, an undervalued and mistreated sectary to the ultimate feministic triumph, Kathrine Parker who steals Tess McGill’s idea for a radio deal for their company, are the main characters. While Kathrine Parker is on a skiing trip and breaks her

Watching a movie to understand. From “Lucy” (2014 Film) Lucy, an action and science fiction movie published in 2014 in the United States, directed by Luc Besson. Based on the myth that the human brain only uses ten percent of its capacity. Lucy, the protagonist of the film will hit one hundred percent of her brain capacity after her cells reacted with an overdose of C.P.H. 4. (A metabolic enzyme).

Earlier in the film, Thelma persuades Louise to stop at a roadhouse to have drinks. A man named Harlan approaches Thelma and Louise while they are at a table and attempts to pick them up by calling them "dolls". He objectifies them and Louise immediately notices. She tries to ignore him while Thelma accepts his gestures. Thelma and Harlan dance on the dance floor for most of the evening. Later on, in the parking lot, Harlan comes on to Thelma aggressively and attempts to rape her. Louise catches him and immediately pulls a gun out of her purse and shoots him after he yells obscenities at them. This is a turning point for Thelma. After looking at the event in retrospect, she comes to terms with herself and realizes that she has been portrayed as a sex object.

Matilda is a movie about a young girl named Matilda Wormwood. Matilda had been neglected as a young child and then forced by her parents to learn how to take care of herself. A major part of the story is based at the school where all the students who attended the school were not treated very nicely by their principle Miss Trunchball. Matilda is based on the Roald Dahl novel ‘Matilda’. The film director is Danny DeVito who believed did a great job. This film did a great job displaying a few themes in this film some of those themes are… family, friendship, rules, bully, fear, talent and sibling rivalry. This movie was realized in 1996 and was a big hit there and still is a big hit to this day. There were many film techniques used in this film and here are some examples.
