East Is East Themes

To start, the film seems like your basic run-on-the mill coming of age tale with a group of teenagers growing up to desire more after they graduate high school. However, there are various more themes discreetly displayed throughout the runtime of the film. For example, one central sociological overtone of this film is Marxism. With this overtone, it becomes possible to view this light-hearted and comedic movie in a

Maggie’s connection with her Aunt started off very distant. She did not want her Aunt to ask her about her parents so she felt that staying away would make that easier. “We won’t make you talk about anything you don't want to, Maggie. It's just good to hear your voice again.” (Glines 269). Once Maggie started speaking to her Aunt their relationship soon blossomed into something that Maggie has been craving since her mother’s death. West’s relationship with his father was reduced, after his

George tries to portray himself as a cold-hearted toughed skin guy that does not care about Lenny but he actually does. he's a soft hearted man that is trying to protect him and Lennie from the dangers of the world they live in, we can see that over the course of this novel George does not really take account of what he's doing to himself we can see that he is focusing on the better wealth of Lenny and his protection. Overall we can characterize George as a good friend. “Lennie begged, "Le's do it now. Le's get that place now." "Sure, right now. I gotta. We gotta." And George raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie's head. The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, and he lay without quivering.”(Steinback 97).This quote again displays how George is a great friend and is trying to end Lennie's life quickly and without pain so he does not need to deal with the mob that wants Lynch Lennie for killing Curley's wife. this shows how important Lenny is to George. George does not like the world he lives in. He feels like the whole world is against him and Lennie. When George

This movie Directed by Paul Haggis who also directed Academy Award Winning "Million Dollar Baby" and had also won an Academy Award for this movie as well puts a twisted story in this film. This movie is trying to symbolize what goes on in the world today in regards to racism and stereotypes. He tries to make a point on how societies view themselves and others in the world based on there ethnicities. This movie intertwines several different people's lives, all different races, with different types of beliefs. Such ethnicities include Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Middle Eastern. This movie includes conflicts on both sides of the picture from cops and criminals as well

“There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones."(Kinuthia, 1) George wallows in the rotten ones. Now imagine you are in George’s shoes. You’re in Salinas Valley in the Great Depression and your companion has something wrong in the head. That’s okay though, because he is good to you and you are good to him. George and Lennie are like brothers. Their interaction is very similar to when a little brother annoys the other brother, but in the end they still love each other and take care of each other. George shows Lennie love by taking care of him and being responsible for him.

There is also a sense of lack of trust in the relationship between the two men. We see this through the predicament with the work cards. It tells us that George again has to take care of Lennie, and that Lennie isn’t trusted by George. Again this idea is portrayed to the reader on page seventeen, we notice that George knows that he needs a plan b as Lennie cannot be trusted so his plan b is to tell Lennie to “hide in the brush until I come for you”. This helps us to understand the relationship even further. George also treats Lennie like a dog in one occasion in the chapter, “good boy”. This is something a master would say to a dog to encourage them, it also tells us the sort of role in the relationship George has again.

The relationship between Elie and his father, and the relationship between George and Lennie differed in many aspects. One example, of this is that George and Lennie from the novel Of Mice and Men had a relationship of “tough love” even though they cared for each other, compared to Elie and his father which still loved each other but were not so harsh on each other. For instance, George always would say “I would be better off without you Lennie.” Even though he was tough on him George still cared for him. This quote relates to Elie and his dad because it explains how this made their relationships differ. On the other

It seems that George takes Martha comments with a grain of salt. He ignores Martha in a way that hints at the deep love he has for her.

George has anger issues; Of Mice and Men would have been a very boring story if not for George's anger issues. There were lots of scenarios where George tried

George does feel at times he is better and can accomplish more. While thinking about his job interview and the fact that it is only a "junior position," he feels "his necessity would make him bitter, but thankful." When he decides he needs to lie about his education at the interview he "laughs at own cleverness of nuance and logic," and thinks that "no one is Toronto would know the difference." George used big words like decrepitude and often corrected his actress roommate on

For instance, within the primary dysfunctional family, many relationships are developed, which include two unbearable children, a power hungry dad, a hectic wife tending to her baby, and an unendurable grandmother. These relationships bring out other dynamics within the characters and the family (Lambert 2009). For instance, although both the father and grandmother are strict in ensuring that the children be respectful, on their part, they do not set an example that can be emulated within the family. First, the grandmother advises her grandchildren to be respectful, and then she goes ahead, making a profane racially prejudiced remark almost immediately (McCann, Jr 2011). At the same time, the head of the family—the father of the children, Bailey, requests the children to conduct themselves accordingly. However, confronted by a tense situation, Bailey loses his temper and threatens the family telling them that if they did not shut up, they would not go anywhere (Katharina 4).

     After watching this film, I feel sorry for George; I understand the situation he is in. I can also feel the

Each character expresses this theme in his or own unique, tragic way through interactions with Nazism and the exploration of the Fatherland concept. Central to the message of the movie lies the idea of tribal allegiance versus individual identity. As every character grapples with what it means to be a part of the effort to reestablish the Fatherland, we see a spectrum of positions ranging from outright rejection to fervent adoration of the tribal identity. Each member of the family occupies a different space on the pole, and their position on the spectrum defines their needs and desires within the story.
