For this assignment I have chosen to focus on the film Good Will Hunting primarily because I have seen the movie prior to this course and I feel it is one of the best films I have gotten a chance to see. Will Hunting's profound genius was as much a burden as it was a gift. Initially seeing the film I enjoyed it but viewing the film in the scope of all that I have learned in this course made the viewing experience much more meaningful, as I now had a deeper understanding of Will's internal conficts, and how they directly effected his relationships, beliefs, and actions. The film is an excellent example of the issues involving interpersonal communication and how they play a part in either making or breaking our

“McFarland USA”, maybe a cheesy, overplayed, movie, but it does teach kids a lot about breaking down stereo types and coming together despite cultural differences. After a close call at their meet, the boys pile in to their bus, disappointed. Coach White noticed their long faces and makes a turn to turn their frowns upside down. He pulls into the beach a place his boys had never been. White tells them to be proud in what they accomplished today. The look on their faces as they ran into the ocean for the first time made the whole movie. A way to treat them for all their hard

The movie I chose was Easy A because there are many psychological concepts this movie that relate to real-life events and it covers many theories we learned about in this class. Easy A was released in 2010 and directed by Will Gluck. It’s about a teenage girl named Olive who accidentally admits to her friend Rhi that she was having sexual relations with boys. She felt pressured into lying since her friend had already engaged in sexual acts with her boyfriend. A rumor then spread and many people in the school then ignored Olive because they thought what she did was an immoral act, but the guys started giving her more attention. I feel that this applies to many

The movie “Nuts” was not only relatable but also had many of the various topics that we had learned about in this class. I relate with Claudia on various personal levels. This movie was so parallel to my past life events that I had to tell my therapist about it because it helped me understand why I am the way I am.

I chose Kevin Costner who was making a speech to a church filled with broken hearted people. It was a memorial for Whitney Houston and many attended. There was no topic other than Whitney has gone home today. He was broken hearted he said. He also stated what becomes of our broken hearts? We need to dry our tears, suspend our sorrow and our anger, just long enough to remember our sweet Whitney. These were the thesis statements and he followed them through the whole speech. I gave him an “A” on that and I also liked how he had a passion for her and her talents. He did have some material that got the attention of the audience. That they had a lot in common, even though she was black and a girl. That they were both Baptist and both help spread

Introduction to the movie. Apart from pre-teaching a list of new words and phrases in a film, EFL teachers should give their students a small introduction to the movie just before watching in class. Some offered this proposal like Bueno (2009), “He (Altman, 1989) cautioned that instructors must provide background information when film genres do not include explicit information regarding the systems of culture and thus the nonnative viewer lacks the cultural context needed to interpret a scene” (p. 320).
