What she didn’t understand at the time, was that Roe vs. Wade had just been passed by the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled in favor of the legalization of abortions. The staff in the facility scolded her as she tried to explain that a baby was alive and was in need of help after left to die! After hearing the doctors’ instructions, she went against their orders and decided to hold the baby in her arms and listen to his soft whimpers, crying for survival. As she continued to hold the baby, she decided to baptize him, ultimately saying “I name you John, and I will tell the world what I saw here today. I will be your voice!” The film’s ultimate purpose is to convince the viewer and bring about the issues associated with abortion.

Michael Gondry’s Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) is not your typical Hollywood rom-com. Its cinematic style is very original and by far out of the ordinary for its genre. The use of techniques and the way the film is produced is the reason why it is so memorable. The non-linear narrative is based around a middle-aged guy who falls in love with a woman, who, after a while into their relationship decides to erase every single memory and feeling towards him. The story is told in flashbacks that slowly reveal the time and space the couple spent together and all the events that made

The psychological thriller film, Psycho, was directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960 changing many aspects in the world of the motion picture as we know it today. Through its unconventional and very daring way of showing the audience, female undergarments, scaring the audience into not wanting to shower for years with an onscreen murder seen as never seen before, and even with something seemingly prosaic by showing a flushing toilet. Hitchcock managed to captivate and scare people around the world, as well as enthrall the minds of many other movie directors and producers until this day. Hitchcock decided to film Psycho in black and white for three reasons 1) he thought the bloody murder might just be too much for audiences and used chocolate syrup as the blood swirling down the drain, 2) his love for the French horror film Diabolique (1955) which was shot in black and white, and 3) Cost cutting. Psycho is based on Robert Bloch’s 1959 novel, which was inspired, by the grave robber and murderer from Wisconsin Ed Gein.

In the beginning of the movie director, Marc Forster, uses Observational Comedy to make fun of Harold’s life. Throughout the first ten minutes of the movie the narrator is telling the audience about Harold’s boring dead-end life. The narrator begins to talk about how boring his job is, how weirdly organized he is, and how lonely he is. This comedy makes fun of how Harold lives his simple life and how he might have no future. Soon he begins to hear this narrator and starts to panic.

What is the meaning of life? Joseph Campbell states that, “Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” Directed by Orson Welles, the film Citizen Kane (1941) is about Charles Foster Kane who is a wealthy newspaper publisher and in the film, his life is retold from when he was a little boy to his passing by his friends and family. On the other hand, American Beauty (1999), a film directed by Sam Mendes, tells the story of Lester Burnham who is a forty two year old man with a seemingly normal family trying to figure out his own life. Both of the main characters in these films have very different meaning of lives, but as the films progress on and death is upon them, they have one thing in common which is family.
