Many years later they meet again on several occasions but the intensifying stage does not resume until they finally become friends and share details about their past failed relationships. During this period they start spending a considerable amount of time together and their expression of feelings toward the other becomes more intense. We see the beginnings of a true interpersonal relationship development.

In his 2001 film entitled Lantana, director Ray Lawrence provides a dramatic look into the consequences of jealousy and infidelity in relationships. The film focuses primarily on two couples, Leon and Sonja, and John and Valerie, whose relationships are both seemingly in the midst of their own downward spirals.

Throughout the essay I stated the connections between Suzy and Sam. I realized as I was writing this paper and as i read the screenplay that the connections these two young people had are connections adults look for throughout their life.

This Wes Anderson screenplay can relate to so many people’s lives and real love situations that the world goes through. Not just young people but older adults as

Most people are guilty of wishing that they could find their own Leonardo DiCaprio with whom to fall in love on a boat destined to sink, or even wishing they had a friend like Samwise Gamgee from the film production of The Lord of the Rings, always urging his friends to carry-on through difficult times and willing to help them to do so. When people submerge into these fantasies, they tend to forget reality; while a woman may expect a man to give his life for her after only five days, it probably will never happen. Same goes for the unrealistic friend expectation; nearly all friends have their own problems with which to deal—they do not have time to carry their best friend up a mountain to dispose of a wicked ring. Silly daydreaming set aside, this idea has truth to it. “It’s not like in the movies” is a popular phrase that is used in accordance to relationships. Hollywood has created a standard of companionship that probably is not going to happen. Hollywood tends to build romance to seem perfect, that he will always say the right comments when she is sad, or she happens to like all the same activities, music, and movies as her significant other.

These expectations of “love at first sight” and “if it is meant to be it will

In recent years, one of the most popular sub-genre of film, romantic-comedies or rom-coms for short, has gotten a bad reputation. Due to many rom-coms following the same storyline and containing typical rom-com tropes, many have become bored with the genre, and some detest it because of its predictable nature. There are some hidden gems within the genre that veer off from the typical rom-com films, like When Harry Met Sally. With a well-casted group of characters to a well-written screenplay, When Harry Met Sally goes against many of the stereotypes of a rom-com while dealing with themes that are commonly used in the genre.

This real based true story film revives in our character some traits that we are sadly unable to explore with our current social environment. It is an environment where we lack honesty, braveness and decisiveness.

The character of Kong, according to the race reading, independently acts as a semiotic representation of the white man’s perception of black men. The film’s narrative takes us to Africa, asks the audience to embark on an adventure to a land so lost to the modern world that its inhabitants exist side by side with dinosaurs, which Brian McKay argues to be the most “obvious symbol for the perceived primitive nature of Africa and Blacks” (McKay, 2005) The gorilla that they bring back from that island may now be an icon of popular culture in himself, but before King Kong was released there was another image of popular social consciousness that he was associated with, which were the disturbingly dehumanizing cartoons of black people as monkeys popularized

Where can one start when talking about this movie? This movie definitely penetrates through each stereotype threat that can be imagined in the world.
