The movie Parenthood (1989) revolves around the psychological stresses that are faced by families. From the name of the movie, the main theme is coined, involving the issues that are faced by parents while raising up their children.

In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since

After watching the short film “The Middle School Moment,” and hearing the research finding of Dr. Robert Balfanz, took me by surprise on how serious the issue about kids dropping out is. I found it shocking in discovering that about 7,000 students dropped out of school everyday. Not only that but the fact that their personal lives and society play a huge role in their decisions, which schools tend to ignore. Another thing that I found interesting about the video was the prevention program that was adopted by Middle School 244 in the Bronx, and how it gave struggling students like Omarina Cabrera, the opportunity to continue their education after having issues preventing them from getting a proper education.

The hero of this film is the father, Richard Hoover. his purpose for going on this journey is to change. He has put his work life in front of his family, and through this his goal is to get closer to his family. In comparison to our model, he is most similar to Jewel Bundren. Both characters are abusive towards their family, one of the strongest members, and something is above their family; for Jewel it is his horse, and as stated earlier, Richard it is his job (Typeset World).

Above all, they play it too safe. Perhaps if they had added new material, approached Smiley's story from different directions, they could have made a film that would have been truer to the spirit, if not the letter, of her book. Ploddingly literal, "A Thousand Acres" is basically a star vehicle that relies on superior acting to redeem it. It does have superior acting, but that's not nearly enough.

It’s very aesthetically pleasing- shots pan over exquisite nature scenes, frame characters in interesting and captivating positions, and the background blossoms with color. Although some of the script is awkward and unrealistic, it’s delivered smoothly and seamlessly by a wonderful and well-rounded cast of characters just as unique as the premise of the movie.

With a messed up ending of a very bad twist and weird Idea that left the viewer asking why am I even here. The movie although thought to be great just like your grandmas cookies was terrible. They both had a lot to offer but neither brought

According to Marriages & Families: Changes, Choices, and Constraints, “a good parent-child relationship may shift suddenly during adolescence.” (351, paragraph 8). It is common for parents to begin to feel rejected as their young children become teenagers. On top of feeling rejected, parents of teenagers also have to deal with the mood swings that comes along with adolescent. Marriages & Families: Changes, Choices, and Constraints mentions that it was common for these adolescent tendencies to be blamed on teenage hormones, now science is showing us that there is more to it than that.

The movie focuses on the character named Charlie Baileygates who is a proud member of the Rhode Island State Police Department. In the beginning it seemed like Charlie had everything going for him, a town that respected what he was doing, a beautiful loving wife that he recently married, and a nice house that he call home. Month later he found that his wife was pregnant and one would think this couldn’t get any better for the main character of this movie; until that moment when they were in the delivery room.

My final project for 80’s Melodrama has been going really well, there really isn’t a whole lot I have left to work on. I ultimately decided to examine how well horror and melodrama mix, so I examined a teen horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part II - Freddy’s Revenge (1985). The movie holds many if not most of the characteristics of melodrama and it’s kind of an overlooked/underrated movie, so I thought I would give it and chance and try and dig deeper. As I said beforeI don’t have much left to do, so far the project is moving along nicely. I’ve finished my first draft and edited it, now I just want to touch it up and make it as great as it can be.
