Analysis Of This Is Where I Leave You

“Why Did I Get Married?” directed and produced by Tyler Perry is a movie based on four couples who take a reunion vacation to the Colorado Mountains in order to reunite with friends from college. On this vacation things didn’t go according to plan. Throughout the movie there was heartbreak, infidelity, suppressed feelings, conflict, and secrets raging throughout each of the couples’ relationship in some aspect. With these unfortunate events occurred at various times throughout the film it cause their trip to evolve from a place to relax, enjoy friends, and time off from work into an emotional and tense atmosphere with the involved couple seeking validation from the other couples on the reason why their marriages are the way they are. Even though the movie ended on a good note in their celebration of Janet Jackson’s character (Pat) receiving an award one of the marriages did not survive.

The Parenthood film depicts average family that are changing life course which is the building block of many families.

The movie basically did a metaphorical domino affect, as you see the family slowly falling down. Like I mentioned earlier when a family gains or losses a family member it is now considered a whole new group. Sadly for the Jarrett family they lost a son and were now dealing with adjustments of living, in a sense, as a new family. Calvin, the father, does a very good job staying positive but still recognizing that something horrible happened to their family and things still need to be dealt with. Beth seems to only worry about the material things as a form of a distraction. You see her focusing on setting the silver just perfectly; worrying about what clothes her husband is going to wear, and she worries more about making sure that what is happening inside the family stays between the family. Conrad is emotionally going through a lot but tries his best to keep it inside.

Judd, who was only 16 at the time, clings to Patrick as a male figure to look up to since their father was hardly home or was drunk or silent when he was. Patrick doesn't go completly through with murdering Zachary, but by allowing himself to act on his emotions rather than textbooks and straight facts, he 'free's' himself, and decides he wishes to travel the United States living freely. Judd holds hostility toward Patrick for this for years, because he was the only person Judd had to look forward to speaking to in the world. Judd, though hard to analyze, is forced to grow up and see the world as a harsher place than his brother's and sister orginally did before the incident. He must protect his mother from his father, stay motivated in school, find a job, and eventually when his mother tells him to leave, provide for himself at the age of 17. The family instead of turning towards each other for love and protection like a family should, decided to look away, keep to themselves and try to ignore the rape of the only Mulvaneey daughter 'Button' for as long as they

What people overlook in this film is the last two ways; the husband and wife, as well as, the man and woman.

These experiences show the different ways they cope with their struggles. In “finding her way,” the way angela copes with her problems it that she just ignores and thinks that the people who bully her for her differences.

Look at the way the light gleams off Brody’s coat.” she depended on phillip to make her feel

Away We Go, is a fun light hearted movie that looks into the family life of America as we follow a young couple in search of establishing their own nuclear family unit. At first glance the movie appears to be a bit shallow but as it progresses it touches on some deep relational issues. The current trend in our society is to cohabit instead of the traditional marriage. The movie portrays this scenario. This situation seems to be positive until Verona and Burt grow from being a monogamous couple to an actual family in which issues of permanence and community surface. It seems to me, they question each other’s commitment and ability to build a loving home for this new child. It may be that part of this insecurity could come from the lack of

As the kids watch their father happily play with his newborn child, Nick finds them and watches they move into a miserable state. He then brings them away from the house and into the car so they can proceed to travel toward the mother. While in the car, Nick notices the tears coming from the children’s eyes and then attempts to cheer them up.
