Boy interrupted” was a really well shot documentary. However, I found it very difficult to watch because it was hard to the affects suicide handle on a family and I found a heartbreaking. Also, watching some of Evan’s Home video clearly showed how mentally ill he was. When he was singing a song that he had written it was clear that he was dealing with some heavy emotions. The fact that he was singing about being depressed and how he wanted to kill himself when he was seven years old was upsetting. when I was seven I remember not worry about a thing, being incredibly happy and having fun. It was Very disturbing when he showed his own mom how he wanted to hang himself in his closet and they show the actual photos. I’ve never seen anything like

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.

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.

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,
The Breakfast Club, produced in 1985, is a famous film about five strangers who at first glance, seem to all be extremely different. Commonly referred to as “the criminal, the princess, the brain, the athlete, and the basketcase,” the students all have distinct personas. However, as the movie progresses, they discover they all have much more in common than they had previously thought. As a former high school student, the concept of the movie is relatively familiar to me. Communicating between strangers, bonding with other students much different from yourself, and forming of new friendships are all situations I have witnessed firsthand. Throughout the movie, communication and the formation of relationships prove to be main focal points.
Richard Linklater’s Boyhood leaves the audience questioning, asking, and wanting more. The entirety of the film is a recollection of memories and experiences throughout the course of Mason’s childhood.

Certain questions begin to formulate like, why doesn’t Linklater use the typical format of storytelling during Mason’s childhood? How come we never know what happened between Oliva and Mason Sr? Why doesn’t
