Normally I’m the one to go run and see the film before I finish reading the book, like lots of other people. The Glass Castle the movie was mesmerizing; it’s showed the struggles that Jeanette and her family dealt with growing up in poverty. The movie also captures the main idea that no matter where you come from you can do anything you put your mind to. While reading “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls the mind creates its own movie of how things are supposed to play out. However the movie seemed to be rushed. Many important scenes that Jeanette described great imagery were crammed into one another. Jeanette’s father, Rex Walls was exactly how I expected him to be. Rosemary, Jeanette’s mom was down played in the movie. The movie’s
If you asked the average American about the Civil Rights movement, you would definitely hear about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. If you talked to someone with a better memory of history class they may tell you about Malcolm X. The movie Selma released on Christmas day of 2014 covers the Civil Rights movement and is praised for being a compelling movie and a historically accurate one. Selma is a historically accurate movie because it brought in other civil rights leaders, the facts that it got wrong were deliberately purpose, and it showed his relationship with Lyndon B Johnson.
In truth, there is a lot of fabrication of the story; however, the producer applies some elements of the true story that occurred in Rosewood. Based on the movie, the main aim was to provide a movie that is emotionally moving which affects racial affiliation in terms black or white (Gannon, 61). Some of the scenes focus on the emotional reaction, and the depiction of the movie focus on the concept of outside looking in.
Carrie was more of a quiet person who never did anything to anyone. She worked hard on her grades. She wasn’t a very outgoing person. Carrie’s hair was dyed pink, she usually wore ripped jeans and plain t-shirts. Alison on the other hand was the total opposite of Carrie. Alison was known as the school bully. She never did her homework, and she was loud and outgoing and not to mention very mean. Alison had black hair and usually wore shorts and t-shirts. Both Carrie and Alison had blue eyes.
The movie Mrs. Doubtfire was written by Leslie Dixon and Randi Mayem Singer. Leslie Dixon is also known for her works on Limitless, Hairspray, Freaky Friday, and Gone Girl. Randi Mayem Singer has not had as many works as Dixon but you may know her from her work on Tooth Fairy, and Jack & Jill. The director of Mrs. Doubtfire is Chris Columbus. He has directed a lot of movies but the ones that stand out to me are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Home Alone, Nine Months, and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

In the 2005 film The Wedding Crashers directed David Dobkin show many normal gender stereotypes and gender inequalities that are still present in today’s society. The film mainly focuses on two divorce mediators Jeremy and John, who enjoy sneaking into wedding parties in order to get drunk off free booze and seduce bridesmaids. Certainly, the film exposes the bromance relationship that Jeremy and John have, which opposes the hegemonic masculinity that society is accustomed to. Their attendance at Secretary Williams’s party exhibits the patriarch of a white, rich, and powerful man. And lastly the concept objectification is the way men view women that is sexually without any emotion mixed. Women are also
5. According to Goffman, patients commonly create narratives about themselves in order to make more desirable self-presentations of themselves to others. In other words, patients will commonly make up past achievements about themselves in order to create a better self-image. In the movie, Georgina, who was Susanna’s roommate, was a pathological liar. Throughout the film, she continuously told lies in order to better her self-presentation. For instance, she threatens another patient when she says “My dad is the head of the CIA and he could have you dead in minutes”. She used this lie to portray herself as having powerful and influential family members and to depict herself in a better way to the other patients. Furthermore, Goffman writes, “One typically finds that he constructs an image of his life course – past, present, and future – which selects, abstracts, and distorts in such a way as to provide him with a view of himself which he can usefully expound in current situations” (Goffman 1961:498). This is seen through another character in the film, Polly. Polly is a disfigured patient checked into the mental hospital because of her schizophrenia and depression. She has various burns on her face and body and tells the other patients she was part of a bad fire. This causes the other patients to feel bad for her and show her sympathy. However, in reality Polly was not trapped in a fire, but rather she set herself on fire. If she told the other patients this, they would view
