Applying Themes In The Film 'The Good Lie'

The emotion can be compared to watching a horror film in which the beautiful starlet is about to be killed by the lurking murderer and doesn’t know, while the viewers see what is about to ensue but have to way to caution her.

Another example that your state of mind during a matter of life or death situation will influence your outcome is in the speech “Truth at all Cost”, by Marie Colvin. Truth at all cost is about an author sharing her story as being a war correspondent. In Marie’s speech, she says, “journalist covering combat, shoulder great responsibilities, ...(and sometimes) they pay the ultimate price...(Colvin 85).” This example shows that your state of mind will influence your outcome because the journalists who decided to do the job of reporting back the news of war had

One great example of this is when Tea Cake saves Janie from the rabid dog. After the incident, Janie says to Tea Cake, “You was twice noble tuh save me from dat dawg. Tea Cake, Ah don’t speck you seen his eyes lak Ah did. He didn’t aim tuh jus’ bite me, Tea Cake. He aimed tuh kill me stone dead. Ah’m never tuh fuhgit dem eyes. He wuzn’t nothin’ all over but pure hate” (Hurston 167). Tea Cake and Janie are escaping from the hurricane when they came across a rabid dog. Janie is holding onto a cow in the water, while the dog is on the cow’s back. The dog walks toward Janie wanting to kill her. Tea Cake dives into the water and stabs the dog to death. The dog put up a good fight because it bit Tea Cake on the cheek. Tea Cake also puts Janie before himself when he consoles her because Janie is afraid of where Tea Cake has gone. The text says, “He found Janie sad and crying just as he had thought. They calmed each other about his absence” (171). Tea Cake is taken away to help clean up the casualties and Janie does not know where he had gone. He is thinking about her the entire time he is away, and he knows that Janie is worried about him. When he returns, he immediately goes to cheer her up. Tea Cake is a very caring and loving

If lying was a job for Norma Khouri, she truly would have been a billionaire by the end of Anna Broinowski's enthralling documentary, "Forbidden Lie$". Documentaries and films are seen as a reliable medium for providing facts and information yet even after having seen this riveting documentary, you'll find yourself questioning the integrity of the entire documentary. With Broinowski gaining a great sense of authority over this text right from the start, she paves the stones in leading the viewer to eventually gain a greater sense of authority over the film's meaning. Anna Broinowski attempts to pull Norma Khouri apart at the seams in Forbidden Lie$, to finally unravel the ball of lies crafted by the pathological liar herself. This elaborate documentary follows the story of the infamous Norma Khouri from all possible angles, while subsequently proving the words of Christopher Nolan. That "the 'truth' is indeed stranger than fiction."

	Living is about making choices. The choices people make shape their lives for better or worse. Even the decision not to choose has its effects, often not wanted. But the individual who chooses to make positive choices and to act accordingly is more likely to see his or her life reflect his or her beliefs and desires. Usually the individual who chooses to take action is also willing to face the risks and obstacles that such choices involve.

I wanted to reflect on this quote because it’s not your typical quote and it’s from the heart. Chris McCandless wrote this note on a torn page from a novel by Nikolay Gogol and it was found taped to his bus door. The note stated that he was injured and was in need of help. He stated that he was near death and practically too weak to hike to safety and was alone. In the note, he sounded very desperate and panicked. He seemed helpless, courageous and at the same time regretful. He seemed helpless because he stated that he was injured and in need of help. He seemed courageous because

The movie Good Will Hunting shows a dramatic relationship between a teacher and student and also relationship's between fellow teachers. The film helps you grow with the characters in order to anticipate and acknowledge the ways in which they interact with one another. It also incorporated the way that egos develop and arise due to relationships and how they can interact with the daily lives of people.

Anna can persevere through seeing people she was helping survive yesterday, die today. This is the biggest trait that is needed to survive as healthy as you can; doing what Anna does day by day. If Anna couldn’t push through what she does she would be stuck to dwell on the death of somebody she knew, and would be of no help to anybody else.

Horror movies. The type of genre that gives a thrill of adrenaline, yet also gives nightmares late at night. Everyone has watched a horror movie at least once in their lives. And during the movie there is also a time in which the viewer just wants to punch the TV screen and call it quits. Whether it is because their favorite character just did something dumb, or because the ending was horrible, there is always a moment in which one thinks: I would have chosen a better option. I could have survived. In literature, it is often the same thing. Believe it or not, fear is a huge contributor to how the story goes; how it ends, and who dies. Fear either motivates the character to take action or, defeats them. But fear doesn’t act alone. Fear influences people, but what influences the fear? The answer is quite simple, no matter how shocking it can be. Just as love brings happiness, it also brings forth the poison of fear. Whether it is the fear of losing the person they love, or fear that they are no longer loved, both of them are huge contributors on how a character’s actions or decisions are influenced.

An example of this is shown when the text says, “Thomas knew he had no choice. He moved… and stepped into the maze,” (Dashner 112). This shows how Thomas risked his own life entering into the maze to save Alby and Minho. Thomas knew all the rules forbidding him from entering the maze, along with the fact that he would be trapped in for the night with a bunch of deadly machines even if he saved them, but he still decided to risk

In Deep Survival, Laurence Gonzales explains that how people survive difficult life or death situations. Gonzales explains that some people survive while others don’t because they don’t have what it takes on the inside. Survival doesn't always go off of the supplies you have on the outside, but your mental perspective on the inside. Gonzales ideas about survival are accurate because she makes the argument that it is mostly a person’s attitude that makes or breaks them.

Set in South Boston, Good Will Hunting is about Will Hunting (Matt Damon), a young man who immerses himself in books, drinking and friends to escape his anger and frustration stemming largely from his past experiences with abusive foster families. Will and his best friend, Chuckie Sullivan (Ben Affleck), hang out together with their small group of friends in impoverished areas of Boston, drinking and occasionally fighting down in Southie. Will works menial jobs, hiding his incredible genius (such as a talent for memorizing facts and an intuitive ability to solve complex math equations).

Good Will Hunting is the graceful tale of a young gentleman’s struggle to find out where he belongs in the world, by first finding out who he himself is. In this film, Matt Damon takes on the role of a disturbed genius that has a keen understanding of the deepness of human character. The film is a voyage through the mind of Will Hunting as he is required to undergo psychotherapy as an alternative to serving jail time. With the assistance of a psychologist, played by Robin Williams, Will learns about himself and recognizes his individual worth in the world by comprehending what is most important to him in his own life. This motion picture serves as a source of superb example for film technique. Gus Van Sant’s directing ability joined with

Comedic films and theatrical productions generally focus on the average human. This excludes people with extraordinary amounts of influence or power such as kings, queens or superheroes. Grecian comedy dissects the social or personal aspects of an average human’s life and uncovers their foibles and frailties. A minor weakness will usually lead to the character falling into some form of temptation which stands as the climax of the plot. This minor weakness of the character helps develop the storyline. For example, the play, Lysistrata, centers around the Grecian army and their wives. Aristophanes presents sex as a weakness of men and women in Greece in the play. The temptation for the army wives is to relinquish the sex strike that they
