I Tonya Film Analysis

Working out conflicts face to face can and cannot make a difference in resolving the problem.“These face-to-face interactions build trust, understanding, and a real sense of a shared mission, and this has made all the difference in the world.” This direct quote from Forbes.com explains how this specific way can improve how the world communicates to each other. Many people will disagree with the previous statement, but it is just one of the basic elements of the social system. Admittedly, not everyone believes in face to face interaction. People can choose whichever side they want to, but people can solve their problems by talking to somebody.

What is National Cinema ? A Question proposed by Tom O’Reagan in Australian National Cinema (2005). The question leads to the sociological understanding that national cinema is constructed by both national and international film industries, the national film text and also by the various cultural, social and political contexts. National Cinema is a vehicle for social processes, emerging social identity and movements. A film may categorised as a ‘national cinema’ based on a number of factors: the language spoken in the film, the nationalities or dress of the characters, the country that supports the film financially, the setting, music or cultural elements present in the film.

Macaria relinquishes her role as a monstrous mother, beating her daughter into feministic submission. She enlists Tony‘s compliance to Mexican machismo to safeguard Marcela’s feminine virtue and supposed “goodness.” Tony exerts control over Marcela through the continued threat of domestic violence. Initially modernity defines Tony’s relationship with his wife, Marcela Polk, and he does not beat his wife as Macaria wishes, but showers her with cheap gifts as his paltry pay provides.

At the 1994 Olympic trials Harding implemented her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly to assault her teammate, as well as her best competition, Nancy Kerrigan. Gillooly seriously bruised Kerrigan’s quadriceps tendon and kneecap, essentially keeping her from competing (Tonya Harding Biography). Unfortunately, Tonya’s jealousy interfered with her career. In addition, Harding possess impulsiveness, which ultimately lured her to act so quickly to eliminate her competition. Tonya most likely felt pressured to do well at the tournament, therefore she felt she needed to take matters into her own hands. If Tonya had more confidence in her performance, then she may not be in regret today. But, like all people, she developed a human flaw, that inevitable lead to her downfall. In conclusion, Tonya Harding’s negative hamartia of impulsiveness and jealousy both follows the criteria of a Shakespearean tragic hero, as well as leads to her

The United States Figure Skating Association ostracized Tonya from the rest of the community. Tonya Harding’s relationship with Jeff Gillooly, was an abusive one, but she kept coming back to him. She says in interviews that he “always saying the right things to get me back, and I’d be stupid enough to go back and get beat up again.” Jeff Gillooly was not the only abusive person in her life. Her mother was also abusive. Tonya Harding came from an abusive family that did not have a lot of money. Tonya Harding could not afford to get private ice the same as Nancy Kerrigan did. Even after proceeding to get second place at the 1994 Olympics Kerrigan made many mistakes such as talking rudely about Oksana Baiul who had won first place that year. and the Disneyland Parade float she was on calling it “corny” and “stupid”. To today Kerrigan who was an ideal female figure skater was forgiven for her mistakes that she

The film, the Untouchables, was directed by Brian De Palma. It was set in the prohibition era, which was right at the start of the 1920’s. Prohibition can be described as a law that made selling and manufacturing alcohol illegal. By putting this law into effect, it actually increased the amount of crime and violence throughout cities in the US. This was ultimately due to the rise in organized crime, also known as gangs. In the movie specifically, it was centered around the rise of the Mafia in Chicago. By looking at the production of the movie, we can see how during prohibition, the Mafia controls everything and the violence ultimately it leads to.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

In this paper, I will write about “Thelma and Louise” (1991) movie. I choose a last scene of the movie which the police came to arrest them in the Grand Canyon (from 122 to 125 minutes).

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
