Safe Haven Movie Analysis

For instance, in the end of the film where there is no conclusion to the story. Safe does not tell us what to think or how to feel: almost as if you’re like Carol White and you are undecided yourself. It is similar to the life of Carol where she doesn’t know the cure for her illness, what is causing this to happen, and if it is a real illness or not. Carol never finds an answer to why she is feeling ill or getting seizures all of a sudden. Similarly, as the viewer we are left with unknown answers too.

The main character of Safe is Carol White, played by Julianne Moore. She is an upper-class homemaker living in an affluent neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley in the late 1980’s. At first glance, she has

The movie includes a lot of plot twists and that’s what makes this drama movie so thrilling. No one ever knows what is next and it is not easily predictable. Secondly, it allows viewers to experience a thrill ride and fall in love. Safe Haven separates itself from other movies by allowing audiences to relate to the relationship/romance occurring in the movie and the challenges that the duo face. “Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.” Sometimes women struggle to find the love they dream of and when they finally experience the feeling of truly being loved it is extraordinary and breathtaking. “For them, it was nothing but an ordinary day on an ordinary day on an ordinary weekend, but for her, there was something revelatory about the notion that wonderful moments like these existed.” She had never experienced a man truly loving her before. Everyone has things that they would rather hide than tell the one they love about because some things are too shameful to tell. “That was the dirty secret associated with her past. Not that she’d been abused but that somehow she felt that she deserved it because she’d let it happen. Even now, it shamed her, and there were times when she felt hideously ugly, as though the scars that had

“Life has no meaning a priori… It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose”(Jean-Paul Satre). As is began in the mid to late 20th century, Postmodernism has become a literary movement that has greatly influenced writers, poets, music, film, culture, art, etc. While modernist theory is rational and scientific in reasoning, Postmodernism departs away from that focusing primarily on an innovative way of thought that is avant-garde and subjective. Films such as Fight Club and stranger than fiction are clear examples of postmodernism as they both hold postmodernist characteristics such as Paranoia, breaking of the fourth wall, and black comedy.

But it also highlights that in order for individuals to

Another main character Kevin (David Lyons) who is an alcoholic and violent person and was married to Erin. The cast performance was great, and their acting skills made the movie seem so genuine. The director, Lasse Hallstrom, and the producers Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, and Ryan Kavanaugh did a great job working together as a team and making an impeccable film. The dialogue is an important feature in helping move stories and films along, and the dialogue in Safe Haven definitely accomplishes this.

The subject of the film could most easily be defined as surrounding the topics of obsession or fame. More specifically, the obsession of fame, and the illusion of happiness that fame projects. The main characters of the movie both urn for the fame of being the world’s most successful entertainer, even if for different reasons.
