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

The film, John Q, demonstrates the issues that the United States deals with involving health insurance. Until recently, the U.S. had faced a huge dilemma when it came to the amount or type of coverage one received from their health insurance; of course, nothing is ever perfect and there are still kinks that need to be worked out. Throughout the movie it is clear that the amount of love this father has for his son is astronomical, so he decides to take matters into his own hands and work out the issues himself. This media evaluation will discuss the movie John Q and the issues with health insurance that we see in it, and may even be dealing with today, by touching on the following topics:

As a hook in his article “When Life Imitates Video,” John Leo describes the Columbine High School massacre which took place near the city of Littleton, Colorado in 1999. Leo claims the actions taken by the teen shooters are due to the violent video games that* many young people play. The rest of his essay builds from this idea, arguing that violent video games desensitize players and encourages dangerous and delinquent behaviors in young children and teens. To effectively convince his target audience, those who have not yet had exposure to the idea of a connection between video games and behavior, of this idea, Leo utilizes an appeal to pathos and logos.

Movies have the ability to transport people to different times and places and distract them from ordinary everyday reality. They allow for a range of emotions to be experienced. At their core, movies examine the human condition. There are plenty of deeper truths woven into screenplays and plenty of lessons to be learned, even when an individual is solely seeking entertainment.

I never gave much thought into what it takes to shoot, direct, edit, and complete a motion picture. Sure, it may sound fun, but after this assignment, it felt like a lot of work. There are quite a few specialized groups that put together the films that we enjoy in our movie theatres. No wonder why it takes months and even years to edit a film, these folks are making sure things are done and synced correctly! The following essay will identify information pertaining to film and importance for their audience so the person or persons watching can have an understanding of what it is they are viewing. A story that has no meaning or becomes very confusing in the details that are presented does not make a good film.

Overall I thought this was an interesting film and I noticed that Medicalization took part when the doctors justify the unnecessary health care can cause more medical problems towards patients, such as the use of x-ray technology, which produces a great amount of radiation and can cause cancer. For instance, “The estimate is that tens of thousands of cancer deaths are being caused each year by medical radiation”, being that the issue of extreme exposure to radiation is not seen as a “traditional” medical illness, it is still framed as one since it causes people to get cancer. Another topic that ties in very well with Money and Medicine is The U.S. Health Care System, for example, “We make more money when we do an unplanned C-Section. We get basically screwed by the payment system, but patients come first,” the government has more authority over doctors which eventually impels them to provide poor treatment because of insufficient funds, this come to show how the issues with health interfere with the medical society and the affects it has towards the sub group of

1 John was written by John sometime between 90-95 AD as a personal letter to believers. He is writing concerning the assurance of eternal life as it seems though perhaps some had some doubts as to whether or not they were really saved because of sin. They key word throughout the entirety of the book is fellowship. He discusses some of the hindrances to fellowship, conditions for fellowship, and the benefits of fellowship. He was really trying to encourage the believers to live a Christian life that will lead to assurance. His secondary purpose was to refute Gnosticism and the false teachings related to it that denied some of the aspects of Christ. 1 John 1:5-2:2 is a discussion of the basis for fellowship to emphasize the main objective of

5. How do you think the filmmakers want the audience to respond? Is there a social justice message? If so, what is it?

The review of this movie is based on sociological matters that are outshined in the film and touch on the lives of the individuals, their way of living, morals, behavior and cultural aspects. The film is set in a real society and concentrating much on social issues of the society more than the economic, technological and political status of this society based in New York.

Movies regularly illustrate a glimpse into the inner working of an organization. They analyze how the characters as individuals and groups interact with each other, how they think and feel about each other in an organization.

The film I picked for my critique is Red Tails, a historical World War II drama. The movie starred Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard and Gerald Mcraney, was written by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder, better known as the creator of the comic strip “the boondocks”, from a book by John B. Holway, directed by Anthony Hemingway and produced by George Lucas . In this paper the author will show how all elements of filmmaking
