This paper explores the Movie “It’s Complicated” a 2009 romantic comedy film, based of the novel written by Nancy Meyers. In this movie Jane and Jake Adler are a divorced couple of ten years. They start a secret love affair in New York, at their son’s graduation. While Jake is trying to have a family with his much younger wife, Agnes. I will be looking at if this is a possible mid-life crisis, genetics, or if it a developmental issue of Jake for wanting to be with his first wife, Jane.

Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.

During the end of the 3rd Century, the Playwright Plautus wrote many of the first Roman comedies. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a musical comedy film adaptation of Plautus's comedies.Set in ancient Rome, many aspects of Roman theatre, including stock characters, were included in the film’s production. While the film is based off of multiple comedies, Plautus's Pseudolus character Calidorus is nearly identical to the film’s Hero. During the time Pseudolus was written, the Crisis of the Third Century led to up to 25% of Roman population being comprised of slaves(Southern). Of the many stock characters Platus included in his comedies, Calidorus/Hero, the son of Pseudolus’s owner and the stock character adulescens, best

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.

Roger Ebert described Wit as a movie that hurts too much (Ebert, 2008), and I have to agree. From the first scene, Dr. Vivian Bearing is a character that draws me in. The preciseness of her speech demands respect and her matter of fact observations vividly display the irony of her situation, adding humor to a subject that would seem impossible. The doctors, in their own form of precise speech, manage to strip all humanity from practicing medicine; making it clear that their intentions were on advancing the science rather than helping the patient. While Bearing told the audience the truth of how she was feeling and what her thoughts were, she gave the doctors the answers they wanted to hear, and in doing so, she gave up the ability to have a peaceful death. It makes one wonder, how often do we know the truth from the patient’s perspective?

I watched the film Fed Up (2014). The film's purpose is to spread awareness of the dangers of excess sugar and fat in a diet. It also wanted to bring awareness to the food corporation corruption. The film seeks to educate the public on the effects of an unhealthy diet. It is meant to open the eyes to the obesity crisis in the United States. It emphasizes on how sugar is the direct cause of obesity.

The film When the Season is Good: Artists of Artic Alaska follows four different artists as they create and sell their art to support themselves. Each artist has a particular medium that they like to work with and all of them use parts of the natural world within their art. Each artist is given a little over fifteen minutes of film, and suprsingly one learns a lot about their family, craft, and lifestyles in the short amount of time allotted. By talking about their art and how they came to be artists, all of the artists connected their art back to family tradition. The first artist is an ivory carver from St. Lawrence Island.

Great article. Great find. I really enjoyed reading it and it made me want to see the film – I watched the trailer and it looks good. Realism, in any form of writing, from novel to screen, is inherently important – even if your characters are space aliens. How do aliens and realism mix? Well, there should always be an element of human emotion and “realness,” there just has to be. Look at ET, the alien in the film was, for all intents and purposes, humanized by creating sympathy for his character. Another example is District 9: aliens forced to be slaves on earth, facing horrible treatment by humans, when all they want to do is go back home. Humanized. Real. No matter what you’re writing about, realism, to some extent, should always be there.

While every relationship is different in many, many ways, it’s certainly obvious that no matter what kind of relationship you’re hoping for, to have a strong one, it’s going to require work. The story of Yours, Mine and Ours revolves around the relationships between the North and Beardsley families following their parent’s unexpected marriage. It’s touching, and heartfelt, and simply illustrates the fact that making a happy healthy family isn’t easy. The three main elements in the work of a relationship are Time, Energy, and Risk, and this is an in depth look at each of those factors and their place in the movie.

The way I see is that Americans are truly the villain in The Host. Americans do illegal, dangerous actions in Korean, which causes the monster, so Koreans did not like and support how the US operates in their country. For example, in the opening scene, an American ordered his Korean subordinate to dump all the dusty bottle into Han river. It is so crazy and irresponsible. Through the rest of the movie, there is an American doctor with a cross-eyed. That character looks like an idiot, and by extension make the country he represents look idiotic too. Finally, when the US Military in the film decided to use Agent Yellow to cleansing the area and to kill the monster. Koreans organized demonstrations to against the release of Agent Yellow by the

This film shows how hard filmmaking could be. The process of making a movie is a real challenge, especially if the screen writer is adapting a book to a movie. The hardest part of making a book movie, is when a screen writer is trying to stay true to the book author’s story.

The monkey's paw story and the movie had quite a few similarities. The sergeant-major had still came right after herbert and Mr.White were playing chess. And like the story Herbert won the chess match. And in both the story and the movie They were all in the same room before the sergeant-major had arrived. And when the sergeant-major had arrived his host had gotten drinks for them. And just like the story, in the movie Mr. White had uses all three of his wishes. And on the first wish Herbert had died in a machine accident while working.

First of all, this was a great movie. There is so much going on throughout the movie that it is difficult to pick just one section of it to blog about. Like Amber, I too felt this same part of the movie hitting home with me. I have found myself doing the same action as the white women at times with my boyfriend, family, and friends; getting closer to whom I am with, walking faster, or looking away from others I am meeting on the street. Not only however do I feel this way around black individuals, but for many people I meet on the streets of whom I am unsure about. I feel that growing up in a small town has led me to “fear the unknown”. I do not mean to offend anyone with my actions, nor do I even do this consciously, but now after viewing

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.
