Lars’s behavior can be explained best by the psychoanalytical approach, which is Freud's theory that attributes thoughts and actions to unconscious motives and conflicts. Lar’s personality may have been skewed based on the death of his mother at a very young age which had affected him growing up, as seen throughout the movie when he had trouble communicating with various female individuals. Along with this it is learned that after the death of his mother, Lar’s father distanced himself from Lar’s and his brother, Gus. It is also mentioned in the movie that Gus left home as soon as he was able to support himself, leaving Lars alone. From the psychoanalysis perspective we can determine that Lars’s personality is a result of his loneliness as a child. The defense mechanism of displacement can also describe his behavior. Displacement is a defense mechanism in which one shifts sexual or aggressive impulses toward a more acceptable or less threatening objector person. This can explain why Lars shifts his sexual feelings towards Bianca. The psychoanalytical approach best explains why Lars is unable to cope with his environment.

The film “Hearts and Minds” by Peter Davis was made in 1974. Peter Davis truly scrutinized the Vietnam War in this film along with the involvement of the United States. Throughout the film Davis interviews many people about their true opinions and views of the war and the United States involvement. Peter questioned commanders, civilians, soldiers even a bomber pilot (Randy Floyd) and more in the film. The experiences of these people were also mentioned during these very private interviews. As you watch the film you indeed recognize how the people that are very strongly against the war are portrayed much more favorable than those who encouraged it. It is important to emphasize that the title of Peter Davis’ film “Hearts and Minds” was inspired by how the president during this wartime, which in fact was Lyndon B. Johnson, announced that ultimately the victory in the Vietnam War was dependent on the United States military winning the “hearts and minds” of the Vietnamese people.

Regarding the film Zootopia, there are several social psychological concepts that were explained in the events. Throughout the film, subtle but offensive comments and actions are unintentionally and unconsciously directed toward the non-dominant group (predators) and the protagonist of the film, Judy Hopps, encounters those macroaggressions throughout the story. As the film progressed, the police force became increasingly fearful and pejorative of the predator group in the city, which drew similarities to the attitudes exhibited by law enforcement officers in American society. Attitudes provide an association between a concept and an evaluation, whether it is favorable or unfavorable, desirable or undesirable, positive or negative. In addition, attitudes can be classified as automatic or deliberate. In comparison to the reflective responses (also called explicit attitudes) that individuals exhibit, the (automatic) implicit attitudes are relatively inaccessible to control and conscious awareness.

The movie Inside Out describes the inner workings of an adolescent girl named Riley’s mind. It especially examines the processes of emotions and memory. The memories she makes- either short term or long term- regulate the emotions within Riley’s mind (Talarico, 2015). This regulation is greatly developed during middle childhood. During this time, a child’s mind begins to associate emotions with memories, and more clearly store memories, understand how events affect them. In Inside Out, the function of the glass orbs demonstrate these processes of the stages of memory.

The movie Up is a story of an elderly man named Carl who, through many hardships and struggles, goes through the grieving process from the loss of his deceased wife named Ellie. Carl and Ellie met at a young age, sharing an interest for exploring and eventually traveling to a destination called Paradise Falls. After Ellie passes away, Carl holds onto her memory and refuses to let it go by attaching himself to the home they built. In return, this attachment turns him into a negative person. This is an example of Erickson’s psychosocial theory, which states that people experience certain crises that cause differing personality characteristics, such as Carl’s negativity from the pain of his diseased wife.

Many films today go beyond simple dramas and acts of heroism. A recent interest in the individual and why each person does, acts, lives the way they do makes for wonderful film adaptations of the tortured human soul. Cult films like Donnie Darko received a very strong following due to its strong portrayal of a young man dealing with psychological issues, the question of God, feeling alone, and death. More than any teenager should have to deal with but considering our day and age, it is not surprising that the following Donnie Darko has earned through beautiful portrayal of a tormented soul is made up of mainly adolescents. In the film, Donnie is said to suffer from paranoid schizophrenia.

Before the Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock made its way into theaters across the world, film was produced in a completely different way. Some of the elements that were in Psycho were things that nobody saw in movies before. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman, when the movie came out, it took place in “an atmosphere of dark and stifling ‘50s conformity” and that the elements of the film “tore through the repressive ‘50s blandness just a potently as Elvis had.” (Hudson). Alfred Hitchcock changed the way that cinema was made by breaking away from the old, “safe” way of creating a movie and decided to throw all of the unwritten rules of film making out the window. The main ways he accomplished this task was by adding graphic violence, sexuality, and different ways to view the film differently than any other movie before its time.
