Graham tells Merrill that there are two kinds of people in the world. Graham describes a pessimistic view and a more optimistic view. When something happens the first group of people would see it as a miracle. For example with the alien invasion, there are people who believe that it was supposed to happen but no matter what happens–whether the aliens are good or bad—they are not alone and there is hope. “Is it possible that there are no coincidences?” Then there is the second group that doesn’t believe in things happening for a reason. That everything is just coincidence. If they win the lottery that it was just luck or chance. With the alien invasion they believe that they are all on their own. Merrill calls himself a miracle man and puts himself with the first group. Graham put himself in the second group by saying that everyone is on their

In the past few years, the superhero genre has risen into the movie industry. This year alone, six superhero movies were released. The superhero genre is popular among young adults. While big studios like Marvel and DC are competing for audiences, many overlook Fox studio, which has been making critically acclaimed superhero movies like the X-Men way before the surge of the genre. The competition between studios create an oversaturation making it hard for films like Logan to stand, but it does this and more. Logan not only transcends the superhero genre but also turns the superhero format on its head. Logan incorporates elements found in the drama, road trip, and western genre and emphasizes emotion over action. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Logon tells the story of a broken down Wolverine in his older years, taking care of Charles. Despite his reluctance to engage in any more conflicts, he is forced to escort Laura, a young girl, to safety. Although Logan may be criticized for its one-dimensional villains and overdone story, director James Mangold, successfully crafted an excellent film that separates itself from the genre through realistic characters and a simplistic plot.

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.

Zodiac is an American made movie which was released in 2007 and is based on a book from 1986. It’s a mystery/thriller that revolve around true events that happened in the San Francisco Bay area. This movie tells the story of the search to find a killer who referred to himself as the “Zodiac” during the 1960s and 1970s. The investigation lasted close to a tiresome 22 years before it finally stopped. He had murdered around 5 people in San Francisco and had attempted to kill a few more. He had the police on a wild goose chase by barely leaving any evidence at his crime scenes. Also, he sent letters that usually had riddles and ciphers in them to the police, newspapers, and even to specific people. These letters became infamous with the U.S. media causing everyone to attempt to decode the ciphers. Still to this day the Zodiac case is the most

his reputation in Hollywood with 1995's Se7en.Unlike that Brad Pitt thriller, however, Zodiac is relatively free of the action, quick cuts and high-tech camera work that made Fincher a favorite of crime film fans. If anything, Zodiac is nearly three hours of people talking and chasing dead ends and bad leads."It's still scary," Fincher says. "But I've done movies where my process of making the movie hindered it. I enjoyed this more than Panic Room because we don't get away from the story."Perhaps that's because Fincher, who was raised near San Francisco, remembers being 7 and riding in a police-escorted school bus after the Zodiac suggested in a letter to the press that "school children make nice targets."The experience, he says, molded
