They hold close to their family because they have been through so much and they see death all around them, so they see the importance of their family. They also are taught from a very young age to respect their elders in the family because they have seen much more and know much more about all aspects of life. They are viewed as wise and knowledgeable and the young family members cherish the opportunity to learn from them. In the movie Gran Torino one

The Crane sisters were better utilized in the book than film. When it comes to physical change, it was the appearances that puzzled the interpretation of the Mary and Lila Crane. Marion Crane was played by Janet Leigh and Lila Crane was played Vera Miles where Leigh was older than Miles by two years but in the movie Marion looked young than Lila which removes the believability out of the viewers since they expect Marion to look older than Lila. Apart from the other flaw the movie mistook from the book, this is a minor one but could have easily been resolved by switch the roles of Leigh and Miles. In addition the 1998 adaption film of Psycho made the same mistake when they casted Anne Heche as Marion and Julianne Moore as Lila.

The movie I chose to do my reflection on is Step Brothers. I believe step brothers is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

Kate finally defeats these issues when she convinces her little sister, Anna, to file for medical emancipation from her parents. At first, Ana is hesitant because she knows how upset this will make her mother, but she agrees to do this to make Kate happy.

The sister-sister sibling relationship, according to Cicirelli (1991) provides the most emotional support, as compared to brother-sister or brother-brother. Although, it is suggested that there may be a great deal of tension or even volatility between sisters (Bedford, 1989; Downing, 1988).
