When Harry Met Sally is a romantic comedy that breaks out of the norm of the genre with some very real messages about interpersonal communication between both genders and how we handle different situations differently. When Harry met Sally is one of the greatest romantic comedies I’ve watched. Harry and Sally are perfect examples of two people for searching for a companion. In the beginning both are very opposites but in the end Sally and Harry both longed for true love, friendship and security.

Music is part of everyday life and serves as the center of many cultures across the world. Music brings out the best parts of a movie, a car ride, or even a special event. The purpose of music varies from artist to artist and different cultures. Every piece of music carries a unique message, but a song, in particular, carries meaning. “Runaway Love” by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige, exploits the struggles of young girls by using rhetorical techniques, such as pathos, ethos, logos, tone, and visual rhetoric throughout the music video to raise national awareness about youth runaways.

In class we viewed documentary titled Girlhood, the film surrounded two teenage girls named Megan and Shanae. Both of the girls have been in the system for years, Megan has been in and out of juvenile detention centers and foster homes for years and is incarcerated this time for attacking one of the other youth at her foster home with a box cutter. Shanae was incarcerated at the tender age of 11 for stabbing a “friend” to death during a fight. The film focuses on getting to know the girls personalities, family history, the journey of their rehabilitation and overall how they ended up in the situations that they are currently in. It also captures the girls in a different light (their funny personalities, them being hopeful, intelligent, and just needing support) instead of just portraying them as juvenile criminals who were just terrible people.

Several relationships are highlighted in the film to show how couples can show and express intimacy towards each other. Most of the couples in the film show their intimacy in many different ways. Some common ways that couples show their intimacy are kissing one another, hugging, or presenting them with a gift. Some uncommon ways how some of the people in the movie show their intimacy of their relationships were going on a fourteen hour flight, through phone calls or texting. An example of an uncommon relationship was between Captain Kate Hazeltine and Holden. Although they didn’t share an intimate relationship, they showed affectionate ways of communicating with each other on the plane.

Genre theory is used to study films and put them into a classification so that audiences know what type of film it is before they see it. Genres are categories based on the story of the film, sometimes the actors and actresses, or even the directors. All films fall under a genre or sub-genre category. Romantic Comedy is an example of a genre which is light-hearted, humorous story involving people in love, sometimes overlapping with subgenres such as screwball comedy teen comedy, or gross-out comedy. ( Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014, table 4.1). This paper will focus on the romantic comedy genre and movie Rocky. It will take a better look at the specific conventions of this genre and how this movie fits the gangster genre.

Ashlee Page the director of ‘The Kiss’, a short film based on the short story ‘The Kiss’ written by Peter Goldsworthy, and Kevin Macdonald the director of ‘Touching the Void’, a documentary with some re-enactments based on the novel ‘Touching the Void’ written by Joe Simpson, both use a range of stylistic conventions to explore the common theme of survival. Survival is defined as surviving under adverse circumstances and enduring challenges, whilst fighting internal conflicts, debating with oneself about their chances of living. The titles of both films are cleverly used to display the theme of survival. Page uses the word ‘kiss’ to represent the ‘kiss of life’, while Macdonald uses the word ‘void’ to portray physiological torment and alienation.
