movie analysis

The movie Grown-Ups (2010) is about a group of high school friends who reunite after their beloved high school basketball coach passes away during the summer. The main characters that make up this particular group of friends include Lenny Fedder (Adam Sandler), Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James), Kurt Mckenzie (Chris Rock), Marcus Higgins (David Spade), and Rob Hillard (Rob Shneider). The childhood buddies come together at a funeral and decide to take their families on a getaway trip. They believe it would be a good idea to rent a rundown cabin on the lakeside and have their families enjoy the great outdoors while spending time with each other over the Fourth of July week. However, this particular group of adults now have kids and wives who are very

Based off Charles Webb’s 1963 novel by the same name, The Graduate is an American romantic comedy/drama released in the United States on December 21, 1967 starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, and William Daniels. The film was directed by Mike Nichols, produced by Lawrence Turman and the screenplay written by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham. The film was produced by Lawrence Turman/Mike Nichols productions starting in March of 1967. Mike Nichols has also directed other well known films such as Catch-22 (1970), Working Girl (1988), and more recently Closer (2004). The film was distributed by AVCO Embassy Pictures nationally and United Artists internationally. AVCO Embassy Pictures studio, founded by Joseph E. Levine, the films executive producer, also claims production/distribution for other hit films such as Godzilla, King of Monsters! (1956), The Fog (1980), and Prom Night (1980). The movie was well received due to its $104 million dollar box office opening tab. The score was produced by Dave Grusin and the songs written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

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.

Families have seen personified toys, cars, vegetables, robots, and monsters, but now emotions? Pixar Animation and Walt Disney Pictures’ movie Inside Out, took a unique look at its protagonist Riley, her emotions, personality, and memories. One of five emotions, Joy, so aptly stated “Do you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?" Well, I know. Well, um, I know Riley 's head.” After viewing Inside Out, a person feels like they understand pruning felt by Riley in an accurate way. It’s clear there is more to her personality than what is on the outside. The external conflict of the movie is relatively simple; Riley leaves her happy midwestern life in Minnesota when her family moves to San Francisco. Plagued by the difficulties of starting a new life, she decides to run away, to the place that formally made her happy. It is only in remembering that part of joyful memories was a connection with her parents that stopped her (Citation 2). This is a classic case of what child psychiatrists call “childhood depression”. Children must learn the importance of sadness in keeping and maintaining family ties. Sadness and the importance of it, or in the movie, her, supplements the external plot with her own internal plot.

The cinema is one of the most unique forms of media because it has the ability to make a

I found the play to be far superior in comparison to the original film version as the movie's writing glorified modern American consumerism. A post war financial boom brought a great amount of advertising and promotion, and the movie was overflowing with blatant celebration of products. The presence of sexism as well of the obvious lack of racially diverse main characters, was a big problem for me in my terms of likability of the movie. The play was able to strip itself of the gaudiness/lack of diversity and that left room for a brilliantly crafted sub-plot with a well rounded cast and smartly written script.

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.

Wit: a movie review 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?

The Graduate is a coming of age story focused on the confusion and fear that many young adults feel as they try to strike out and make a life for their own. The film focuses on Ben Braddock as he tries to figure out what do with his life, which

In today’s world we are seeing a growing concern for our younger generation that is growing up with the struggles of obesity, many of them are starting to deal with the same health issues that were isolated to adults just a few years ago. In the movie Fed Up the director Stephanie Soechtig wanted to open our eyes to the issue that has gone unnoticed for so long, that fact that the food industry has been hiding the truth about our eating habits. In the movie they spoke about, “how the soda industry fund research study that help to say that soft drinks have nothing to do with obesity” (Soechtig, 2014).

Arranged is a beautiful movie about religion, marriage and friendship. The movie also explore the many different challenges the two women go through even in the work place. At one point in the movie Nasira and Rochel were both called into the principal’s office and offered money to buy new clothes so they can fit better in the school based on the principal view point. I believe the movie was successful in persuading me that regardless of who you are and religious beliefs were are all human beings and if we only take a few minutes to get to know someone we will discover that we have many things in

In the movie Speak, Melinda went to a party before freshman year started and what happened at the party traumatized her. It was a chaotic party where there were many teens of different ages, with no adult supervision. The party most likely had alcohol, and people who attended were just friends of friends and strangers. Unfortunately, at the party Melinda just met a boy who she got close to right away. This was unfortunate because she just finished middle school, and he was in high school. What he did to her was traumatizing. They kissed and dance, but when he asked her to be alone with him, she ended up getting raped in his car. After that, she called the police and they shut down the party, but everyone was frustrated with her for doing that.

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.
