The debate team erupted in a great debate. The team captain argued and fussed, while the team members scrambled to find a solution. The team captain started to push of the members when the lead singer stepped in to interrupt. "You guys stop !" Callie said " showing your anger in a fuss, you must be disgusted!". "I'll tell a story about how wrath can be deadly, it's a must." One upon a time there lived a young man by the name of Jimmy. He was an average sized fellow and very bright. Although he

criticism lens one can analyze how economical factors contribute to how different groups interact in order to gain power and keep that power. The struggles for this perceived power between groups can be see in Thelma and Louise, a film written by Callie Khouri. When discussing the Marxist theory Stephen Bonnycastle writes “in most social and economic situations the majority of people find themselves oppressed, and forced to behave in ways they don’t like, for not very good reasons” (197).

The 1991 film, Thelma and Louise, directed by Ridley Scott, scripted by Callie Khouri, and starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, portrays the adventures of two female protagonists. The film starts with the lives of two females in the roles society has set out for them. After deciding on going on an adventure together the females get into trouble with the law and face consequences, however, they make their own decisions on what they should do. Many consider the film to have changed the bias Hollywood

To me, the most interesting point he brought up was how important it was that Ridley Scott and Callie Khouri worked together on it. Each brought their own unique perspectives and the film would not have the same effect if one or both did not participate. Throughout the film, it is very clear that both characters go through significant changes, but they

others who didn’t have a voice. Change was beginning to be made and it was also starting to be known to everyone. This change brought much happiness and strength but also disappoint and rage to others. In an article I found online, in a video Callie Khouri states, “For the first time men were having to look at themselves at secondary characters and stereotyped and they did not like it.” Women who were not happy in their homes and wanted work were starting to feel strong enough to do things they

A Big Apple native born October 30, 1959, LaGravense grew up in Brooklyn and studied acting at New York University’s experimental theater department at the Tisch School of Arts. As a student, he explored his skills with dialogue and formed a New York based comedy group, for which he also wrote sketches. His sketch material led to an offer by former Saturday Night Live writer Neil Levy, to co-write the script for the 1989 release, Rude Awakening. He wrote (and sold) his first piece of writing for

visual exploitation of women through masculine narratives as objects of male affection and pleasure. However, Hollywood has taken initiative to produce content that displays women's narration outside of traditional roles. Seen in Mad Money (2008, Khouri) as the characters embrace feminist traits and crush female stereotypes by positioning women in the masculine dominant role of bank robbers. I will argue Mad Money (2008) subverts the male gaze by placing women outside of the passive roles and as

Throughout the film history, female characters seem to be related to “softness, tenderness and delicacy” (as cited in Adorante, 2017). However, the portrayal of women in films has changed slowly but drastically over the years. Mostly, women used to play a traditional role as wives and mothers that care about their husbands and kids more than themselves; today’s audiences frequently witness much more various women characters who are “strong, bold, and aggressive” as well (as cited in Adorante, 2017)

As people will say growing up sucks, you finally realize you aren’t a kid anymore. In the coming of age film, you see the main character emotionally transition into a adult. What makes the coming of age film special is the relationship the protagonist has with his or her group of friends. The coming of age film differs in friendships, depending on the gender of the main character. The friendships help shape how the protagonist is going to be by the end of the film, usually in a positive light.
