If you have not seen Dazed and Confused than you are really missing out. It is a great movie that relates from everything to High School to Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll. With an outstanding cast (from the past) it is a movie that everyone can relate to. Dazed and Confused reflects the lifestyle of kids that are entering high school for the first time, to seniors owning the school and being the "man" on compass. It portrays that freshman must watch their backs at all times and if you think you're as cool as the seniors, then you better watch out.

Over the course of 60 years, the development of identity and the social self for modern Western adolescents has gone through a great deal of change while also carrying some continuity throughout. Comparing both films ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ (1956) and ‘Boyhood’ (2014) the different characteristics and familiar traits of that are experienced through the journey of adolescence. The role of Gender from the 1950’s onwards has created a great influence on how modern, western adolescents develop their interpretation of their position in society, creating a sense of identity as well as the rights and responsibilities that come with their gender. Seen in both ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ and ‘Boyhood’, many rites of passage are noticeable in regard to how

The film ‘Boy’ (2010) uses a range of techniques to construct an effective mise-en-scene. Taika Waititi (director) has been able to create aesthetically pleasing scenes to communicate to the audience about the setting, characters, story and themes. The sequence at the beginning of the film is an appropriate example of the good use of mise-en-scene.

From a legal standpoint, one wonders whether there might be an issue with Moselle’s introduction to the boys of The Wolfpack. As the moment when she chased them down on the street, most of them were technically minors, and the youngest was only eleven years old (Shone 2015). They were out on the street without their parents, and Moselle, as a thirty year old adult accosts them because she finds them strange and unusual. She then begins to develop this relationship with them, bonding over their shared love of movies, teaching them to refine their filming techniques, filming and photographing them as subjects. One has to wonder whether the boys told their parents about this budding relationship, or whether she ever asked permission from them

The second Sudanese Civil War in Sudan forced millions of innocent people to flee their homes and families in search for safety. Doing so, many got displaced or killed because of starvation, genocidal murder and bomb raids. Those who survived were sent to a refugee camp in Kenya and some - the “lost boys”- a name given by aid workers at the camp, had the fortune to be sent by the United States to America to start a new life. Among these were Panther Bior, John Bul Dau, and Daniel Abol Pach, whose life was documented in God Grew Tired of Us. Furthermore, the documentary explores the lives of the Lost Boys of Sudan and their journey as they learn to adapt to the American Life, a life much better and advanced than the oppressed life they lived. The directors, Christopher Dillon Quinn and Tommy Walker, aim to show how the boys cope with learning new customs, rules, trying to keep a job, amongst other things, all while doing the best they can to stay rooted in their culture and help those they left behind in the refugee camp. With actual footage and relatable characters, the film sets a tone that evokes sympathy to viewers, thus relaying a need of action and validating his message of Americans’ forgetfulness and ignorance to their blessings.

Girl, Interrupted Reflection Questions Girl, Interrupted was a very intense, gripping example of the experiences of a patient in a mental institution in 1970's. Within the story of Susanna Kaysen, it was tragic to see the conditions that these people lived in. I can relate to their condition, having been admitted into a mental ward myself twice. It made the experience of watching this film even more close to home for me, but it was one that was very beneficial for me.

In American society, gender stereotypes and the topic of stereotypes remain a central focus of art and individual discussion. Rob Reiner addresses stereotypes in Reiner’s film Stand by Me when he sheds light on multiple stereotypes in society. Throughout the film, Gordon, Chris, Vern, and Teddy, the main characters in the movie, frequently describe each other with derogatory terms, which characterize stereotypes in American culture. In Reiner’s movie, the four young boys follow the stereotypes that society establishes for boys and men. The main characters in the film display various stereotypes that society holds for both men and women. Reiner’s film shows that some men have a preconceived and a detrimental belief that showing emotion is a

Traumatic experiences, difficult home lives, and the effect of drugs can leave a significant imprint on the rest of an individual’s life. The context which individuals are surrounded by during their developmental years has a significant impact on their mental health and development. In the documentary, The Bad Kids this idea is depicted through the portrayal of adolescence and early adulthood periods of the individuals at Black Rock Continuation High School. The film portrays the lives of at risk teens, who are given a second chance to get their life on track and earn a high school diploma. However, there are complications and set-backs that are holding them back from accomplishing their goals.

New Boy: Even though the story starts with struggles, towards the end a portion of the heaviness of this struggle appears to have been lifted from Joseph and the film completes on a more playful note. The storyline has a reasonable starting, center and end thus it keeps running in a request that viewers will expect and can comprehend, implying that the story is clear and familiar and the audience won't be disinterested due to misunderstanding because of their error of the storyline. The sound all through the entire of this short film is basic as it blends a pleasant adjust of both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. The fundamental sound inside the film is encompassing and dialogue meaning much wasn’t needed to be included in after post-production,

Deviance is defined as recognized actions or behaviors that violate cultural norms. Norms that are socially constructed by members of society. While in the course “Psychopathology & Abnormal Psychology”, I learned that abnormal behavior focuses on behavior that is deemed deviant, distressful, dysfunctional, and/or dangerous. With that, abnormality is subjective and highly influenced by society which is similar to deviance. In fact, these two terminologies can be used synonymously with each other. Furthermore, abnormal behavior is also known as a mental illness, a behavior that has the potential to be changed. Depending on the time period, rules and regulations regarding mental illnesses deviance and abnormality has changed
