Comparing Locks And A Million Miles Away

Throughout the first half of Communication 101: Introduction to Human Communication we have been introduced to and discussed a lot of new concepts, ideas, and terms. All of this new material has been pertinent to how humans interact with one another, while also informing us of the why and how behind these interactions as well. The amount of new information we have learned would be impossible to cover and apply to one piece of pop culture, but a lot of what we have learned is relatable to the movie 50 First Dates.

The basic communication concepts can be utilized in everyday conversation and can be seen in different forms of media, such as television and film.

In the movie, the concepts regarding conflict, perception, non-verbal communication, and paralanguage make up the majority of the film’s plotline.

The short story “Speech Sounds” is a science fiction story written by Octavia Butler. This essay portrays a central theme that really opened my eyes as well as many others. This theme is to never take your ability to communicate for granted. Communication is a huge part of our culture and civilization. I never truly realized how important communication really was until reading this story. Without it, we cannot express our feelings in a correct manner. Not being able to connect with other individuals results in it being very hard to cooperate with others, causing chaos amongst society. In a short amount of time, the world would turn on each other causing mass amounts of violence. Likewise, this is similar to the story “Speech Sounds.” There are many takeaways one can have after reading this story.

As their communications grow Abby’s family becomes involved and Nev talks with Megan, Abby’s sister, over the phone and they develop a relationship. It turns out that Angela, Abby’s mom, is behind all the characters Nev has talked to. She is also the one who painted all the paintings Nev thought Abby had painted. The film raises asks the question, who is actually on the other side of the screen? Whereas in “Connected, but Alone?” by Sherry Turkle explores the advancement in human relationship through technology. She warns that technology can not fulfill a human 's need for interaction. Both the article and the movie come together to show that physical communication is crucial to the well-being of any person; through their explanation of how our mistakes make us vulnerable, our need for truth in relationships, and how our fear of becoming lonely is making us lonely.

However, to understand the meaning behind the video, one can’t miss the powerful fellowship between Tracy, Larry, Chammi, Naoki, Antti, and Henna as they use typing as a mode of communication. Individually, they confessed a sense of powerlessness, like outcasts, people trapped in bodies that don’t work, people institutionalized during childhood and released in adolescent years, people who are given menial jobs to perform with little to no educational expectations. Nevertheless, together they belong, are strengthened to mobilize for inclusion, and are enlightened by each other’s knowledge base, promoting their similar goal for a basic human desire – communication.

Today, society has become a boisterous world of communication. From telephone conversations to live Internet chat and e-mail, the world has never before been quite so in touch.

It’s hard trying to find who you’re supposed to be, what you were meant to be, and how life should treat you, but what’s even harder is trying to do all these things alone.

Bob Harris and Charlotte, find themselves in Tokyo Japan for two totally different reasons. Bob is there for business, and Charlotte there for pleasure. It’s almost like watching a two- hour movie dedicated to jet lag. These two strangers find themselves unable to sleep, and form a friendship based on their common lack of companionship. As the movie progresses Bob and Charlotte develop a meaningful relationship that leaves the viewer wishing the movie didn’t end. The obvious battle of solitude and companionship is creatively displayed in the films shots, blocking, and the setting. Coopla uses a wide angle shot with perfect contents to display just how lonely the two main characters truly are. At the beginning of the film both Bob and Charlotte appear unbalanced, figuratively and literally, it’s not till the two
