Interpersonal conflict is in every part of our lives. Apparently, even a movie can’t go without it. It gives many movies the ground from which they can then blossom. The movie “Hitch” gives a clear example of an interpersonal conflict. The two characters of the story, Alex and Sara, get into a fight over simple miscommunication.
These two people who have only recently met make a common mistake. They don’t tell the whole story and don’t stop to listen. If only Alex had told Sara about what he does, how he does it and in which cases, she might ...

James says, “I feel like an outsider.” How might you work with his statement?
I could work with this statement by telling James to point out when he has those particular feelings. I would let him know that he could perhaps find one person in the group that he trusted and begin by talking to that person.

Jacqueline says, “I feel stupid when I ramble.” How would you deal with her self-deprication in the first session?

Jacqueline would have to first explain what she meant by rambling so I could have a better understanding of her situation. She would then have to make note of when she does it ...

Though not always elitist, movies are excellent at reflecting the reality and human history, just as poetry and prose are. The movie industry was being developed over the 20th century while the human civilization was being shaken by major military collisions, be they regional or conflicts of world proportions. There was no way the movie industry could sit sluggish in the circumstances, with film directors addressing the most vital social issues of the day. Genocide is one of grimmest crimes committed during the conflicts. Atrocious was the genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and Jews in Nazi Germany – ...

“What happens when wrong feels right and right feels wrong? When situations that appear to be black and white turn out to be gray?” (The Literary Analyst).The bygone philosophy of novelists writing what they desire stands firm. For me, a director holds the same status when it comes to films, in fact all artists irrespective of their desired form of art should have the liberty to think and make people do the same. This perfectly sounds true of Ben Affleck’s triumphant and remarkable debut in Gone Baby Gone (2007), which is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s heavily ...

The film follows bounty hunter Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) as he is ordered to hunt down several replicants who have escaped to Earth.

Epic is an animated film by Blue Sky Studios that is loosely based on William Joyce’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs (2013; 2001).

The movie took about eleven years to be made from the time of that discussion and involved a huge number of decisions. Because the movie was animated, the creators could control literally every detail about how movie finally looked, which is not the ...

Movie Review: Farmingville

If someone were to ask me what I think about illegal immigration, I would have a hard time figuring out where to get started. Honestly, I have never really thought about the issue of illegal immigration, and it is not something that directly affects me in any way. However, I am fond of documentary films in which political and social climates are analyzed, and Farmingville (2004), directed by Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini is one such documentary. Moreover, the issue of illegal immigration that this documentary film raises is also a good debate, especially since it is a political and social issue ...

The 1968 film The Green Berets, starring and co-directed by John Wayne, presents a very pro-American and jingoistic view of the Vietnam War, sugarcoating the more violent and abhorrent aspects of the US Army’s activities during the war in favor of a more benevolent, patriotic mindset. The film follows Colonel Mike Kirby, leader of a Green Beret Unit, as he fights in South Vietnam and defends his men against actions taken by the North Vietnamese. In this essay, several aspects of the film will be critiqued, comparing the viewpoint explored in the film with the truth of US Army actions during ...

Writer, director and actor Spike Lee’s 1989 film ‘Do the Right Thing’ based on the similar theme recounts the events taking place within a day in the lives of the people belonging to the working class of Brooklyn ...

J.J. Abrams’ serialized television drama LOST follows the stories of a group of survivors of a violent airplane crash on a deserted island, stuck without any hope of rescue and beholden to the mysterious forces that govern their new home.

This is done through a combination of visual motifs, symbolism, and character moments juxtaposed through flashbacks and editing. Throughout the course of the pilot, the flaws, alignments and attitudes of the characters are weighed against a sense of ...

While much has been hypothesized regarding the documentary Iron Wall, it is crucial to note that its construction was hypothesized as the primary strategy that could bring lasting peace between Palestine’s and Israelis. However, the construction of the Iron Wall was not of the best interests of the Palestine’s. Instead, its construction can be seen as a way of establishing settlements on the zone of conflict; hence, avoid any practical attempts to attain lasting peace. Overall, the documentary is filled with bias as it depicts persistent notions that Palestine’s were indeed side lined during the construction of ...

Cross-Cultural Experiences in the movie “Outsourced”
The customs and cultures of India were developed by the country’s traditions that date back almost a few thousands of years. The significance most of these cultural behavior and traditions have in the people of India can be elusive to the average American. For instance, the picture of Kaali (the goddess of destruction), carrying the severed head of a man, hung on the wall of Todd’s (the protagonist) bedroom, is quite a disconcerting picture for the average American. But in India, it is a picture of relief. Similarly, the intermittent animal ( ...

Screening Reflection

Ride with the Devil, upon first glance, may seem like a movie that doesn’t deserve significant attention. In reality however, it relates to a deeper level with several of the other films that we viewed in class. For me personally, this film was able to relate to all of the other films we viewed in class on multiple levels.
Ang Lee’s films have dealt with a variety of topics in the past. Some of his earlier works that we watched, like Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman, deal with the relationship between tradition and modern ways ...

Bridge of Spies (2015) is a historical film that was directed by Steven Spielberg. One of the stars in this film is Tom Hanks. This film received a very positive feedback from the viewers and in my opinion it is one of the best films about the confrontation between the USA and the USSR in the past few years. The film is set in 1957 – 1962 and is based on a true story. In 1957, the USA arrested a Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, but a few years later he was swapped for the American pilot that was brought down ...

The issue of feminism in the film industry is a common topic for controversial discussions. Many writers are more popular than others because of the ways in which feminism surfaces as the driving force behind their presentations.

A number of films represent the myths that reveal ideas on women and their femininity. In addition, there are films that speak to men and their masculinity. The issues of representation and spectatorship form ...

Undoubtedly, Terrence Malick is one of the most enigmatic artists of the modern cinematography. The majority of his films affect the most profound and controversial issues of human existence. The director is well known for his visual and poetic approach to cinematography, for which he is occasionally praised and scolded by critics. Recently, he turns to the Christian themes and speaks directly about God and with God in his films. In the film "The Tree of Life," Malick raises the question of the knowledge of God and the meaning of suffering, while his picture "To the Wonder" interprets love ...

It is life’s obvious fact that each of us has our own way facing our emotions, particularly those that are deemed better off forgotten and erased. Perhaps this is because of the human need to always be at a safety zone, where nothing can be harmful for the person, regardless if these are physical dangers, psychological and mental, or even emotional in nature. As such, this human tendency to escape from emotional and psychological burden is very apparent in the 1980 film, Ordinary People, which was directed by Robert Redford and starred Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and ...

Sooner or later, all children go through a stage of adolescence, which begins with sexual maturation, and ends with the attainment of self-sufficiency and independence.

During adolescence, the brain structures undergo fundamental changes, and the large amounts of hormones affect the individual as a whole.

In Susan Hayward’s summary of David Bordwell in “Classical Hollywood Cinema,” the author relates how the dominant ideology of American culture in the 1930s and 1940s was often conveyed in the films of the era. This particular genre of film follows a narrative tendency towards literalism and dramatic formula over nuance and complexity: “The narrative of [classical Hollywood cinema] reposes upon the triad ‘order/disorder/order-restored,’ also known as disruption/resolution” (Hayward 82). Through these styles of filmmaking, a consistent, accessible reality is created in which to impart the dominant ideology of the time. In the case of The Best Years of Our ...

Disney’s “The Lion King” exemplifies the many struggles and triumphs of leadership in several ways. It can be surprising to the untrained eye than an animated children’s movie could hold the valuable lessons by such a complex concept but it is true. Even Kouzes Posner’s framework for Leadership is exemplified throughout the movie. There are multiple characters that take on leadership roles at different times throughout the movie, but the primary leaders are Mufasa, the initial King we meet, his son, Simba, and Mufasa’s evil brother, Scar. Each exemplifies leadership in their own ways, showing both ...

What does this documentary tell us about intimate partner relationships “back in the day” (i.e., when the women were first arrested)?
The documentary tells us that intimate partner relationships that involved a married couple do not take into account the weight of the women’s testimony and experience. In the case of Ruby Jameson, her lawyer gave her advice to avoid mention of domestic violence and explicitly discouraged Ruby from using and citing the “Battered Woman Syndrome” that could have alleviated the prison sentence.
Back in the day, the issue of domestic violence was not taken nearly ...

Summary of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

In the documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, director Alex Gibney tells the story of the fall of the energy company through a series of stories on the characters involved, using a lot of archival videos. Enron was basically a Ponzi scheme, and the scandal was similar to the Bernie Madoff saga of 2008, which was another conspiracy, based on exploiting deregulation and preying on investor greed. The timing is also interesting. Madoff’s scheme fell apart during the recession of 2008, while the Enron bankruptcy occurred right after the “dot-com” bust of 2000. As long as the economy was ...

Death of a Salesman is a play that addresses the painful conflicts within a family, showing how Americans are tackling issues regarding their national values within real means. Miller therefore depicts America as selling false myths founded around capitalist materialism, and nurtured by the postwar competitions.

For mastering the structure of the play, that is, to understand and interpret the script and casts he should rehearse and work closely with designers ...
