Enough : A Critical Analysis Of The Movie Enough

The vision Christopher Nolan had for The Prestige (2006) was to add to the outbreak of street magician film, whilst playing a large dramatic subplot equal in grandeur to the magical performances within the film. In the final sequence of the film, I will analyse how the cinematography and sound resolves the plot so that it summarises the themes present in the film, whilst also invoking a response from the audience. Nolan predominantly uses close up shots, non-diegetic sound (music) and dialogue collaboratively to convey the dramatic, personal subplot of the characters and their relationships, whilst appealing to the audience bringing forth an emotional response from the audience. The heavy, slow, dramatic atmosphere of the ending sequence uses various techniques to summarise and uncover the underlying mysteries of the events throughout the film and consolidate themes introduced during the exposition.

Many times in the book Mitch gets bullied and beat up. Well this time, Mitch does it back. After the football season is over, he travels to a football player's house, and really harms him. “Nobody from Philadelphia ever bothers him again,” (431). Mitch is fed up of getting picked on, so he finally let it all out and it worked. Although he beat up that guy in the end, he attempts it multiple times before. This time it doesn’t necessarily work. He decides to square up with a big linebacker. “The odds were one hundred to one against me,” (293). Even though the numbers weren’t in his favor, he still attempted revenge and wanted to get back and other people. That also proves that his mind is taken over and it is getting the best of

Trainspotting presents an ostensible image of fractured society. The 1996 film opens, famously, with a series of postulated choices—variables, essentially, in the delineation of identity and opposition. Significant here is the tone in which these options are delivered—it might be considered the rhetorical voice of society, a playful exposition of the pressure placed on individuals to make the "correct" choices, to conform to expectation.

This is evident by Lola’s accusations of verbal abuse that include “She was that kind of mother: who makes you doubt yourself, who would wipe you out if you let her”(Diaz 416), “She didn’t bother talking to me unless it was to make death threats” (Diaz 419), and “You think someone’s going to lose life writing to you...I wouldn’t write to you either” (Diaz 416). These statements justified that Lola’s mother was constantly out to attack and threaten her whenever she deemed fit. Additionally, Diaz details the many physical waves of abuse perpetrated by Lola’s mother that include “She was holding on to me like I was her last nickel… “When she pulled back her hand to smack me, I broke free”(Diaz 424), “Sometimes, without warning, she would grab me by my throat and hang on until I pried her fingers off”(Diaz 419), and “She would hit us anywhere, in front of anyone, always free with the “chanclas” and the “correa”(Diaz

The movie Enough speaks to the audience regarding domestic violence. The main character’s name changes throughout the movie to maintain hidden from her ex-husband but she is called by the name Slim. The beginning of the movie shows how Slim met her husband Mitch. Mitch met Slim at a dinner where she was a waitress. Mitch made a bet with one of his friends that he could have a sexual encounter with Slim by the same afternoon that he met her. He successfully completed his bet, and continued dating Slim. Mitch and Slim get married after a short period of dating and have a baby girl together. Their daughter’s name is Gracie. Mitch was not faithful to Slim and seen another women after Gracie was born. One night, the mistress called Mitch’s phone

Unlike Stanley, Mitch has learned to be sympathetic towards Blanche and her representation of femininity. Mitch however, still cultivates toxic masculinity when he does not bring correction to his friend, Stanley, when he sees him being openly abusive. He also allows Stanley to ruin his chances at happiness with Blanche.

Most people are born with good hearts, but as they grow up they learn prejudices. “Crash” is a movie that brings out bigotry and racial stereotypes. The movie is set in Los Angeles, a city with a cultural mix of every nationality. The story begins when several people are involved in a multi-car accident. Several stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles involving a collection of inter-related characters, a police detective with a drugged out mother and a mischief younger brother, two car thieves who are constantly theorizing on society and race, the white district attorney and his wife, a racist cop and his younger partner, a successful Hollywood director and his wife, a Persian immigrant father, a Hispanic locksmith and his young

Mitch has a very courteous and gregarious perspective on life. He basically believes that everyone deserves a chance. When he first meets Blanche, he begins to fall in love with her but soon after Stanley reveals the true Blanche to Mitch, he feels betrayed. At that point, his perspective changed because, he begins to become a little more like Stanley. An example of this is when he finds out and comes to meet Blanche and tells her

With adolescent rebellion comes the evil of violence. This theme can be seen in both An Ounce of Cure and Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been? In both stories we see an adolescent that rebels for whatever reason. After the rebellious acts, an evil brings upon them violence.

One of the first realizations Mitch has on life is that he has wasted his time attempting to become wealthy and spending money on materialistic things. An example is when they met on their third Tuesday, Morrie explains that “We’re so wrapped up in egotistical things...we’re involved in trillions of little acts that just keep going. So we don’t get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?” in order to prompt Mitch into believing that his life is full of egotistical choices that are not the key to having a fulfilling life (64-65). Instead,

The movie, The Shawshank Redemption (1994), is based on a character Andy Dufresne. Andy is a young and successful banker who is sent to Shawshank Prison for murdering his wife and her secret lover. His life is changed drastically upon being convicted and being sent to prison. He is sent to prison to serve a life term. Over the 20-years in prison, Andy retains optimism and eventually earns the respect of his fellow inmates. He becomes friends with Red, and they both comfort and empathize with each other while in prison. The story has a strong message of hope, spirit, determination, courage, and desire.

“Ordinary people” everywhere are faced day after day with the ever so common tragedy of losing a loved one. As we all know death is inevitable. We live with this harsh reality in the back of our mind’s eye. Only when we are shoved in the depths of despair can we truly understand the multitude of emotions brought forth. Although people may try to be empathetic, no one can truly grasp the rawness felt inside of a shattered heart until death has knocked at their door. We live in an environment where death is invisible and denied, yet we have become desensitized to it. These inconsistencies appear in the extent to which families are personally affected by death—whether they

Today I treated myself to the film, "Enough Said", a cleverly written, wonderfully acted, delightful little romantic comedy starring Julia Louis Dreyfus and the late James Gandolfini. It was so refreshing to see a movie, especially a romantic comedy, with the main characters all being in their middle ages. Especially the three main female characters who were SO REAL! Meaning, that all three actresses - Julia Louis Dreyfus, Toni Collette, and Catherine Keener, had REAL FACES! From what I could tell, none of them had been botox'd, lipo'd, nipped, tucked, sucked, pulled, or as author Caitlin Moran puts it, "petrified" in any way. I've always admired the British actresses for this reason. They seem to know how, and more importantly, are

To start with, psychological factor only addressed the problem on an individual level, where Lee’s use of violence and subsequent killing are the outcome of his abnormal mental state. However, domestic violence is not an isolated incident; many statistic supported the notion that domestic violence is a social or even global phenomenon.

The grandad’s apparent emotional abuse to Stacy and the affect this is having on her.
