Joan Crawford was a fantastic actor, wildly famous, and extremely wealthy as far as everyone knew, but what you didn’t see behind the curtains was a person with too many issues known only by a few close people, such as her daughter. Christiana Crawford, Joan’s daughter, wrote a book about her childhood experience and then created it into a movie for everyone to understand why her mother was crazy. In the movie Mommie Dearest her psychological disorders shinned through, rather than her fame and fortune. Some specific personality disorders can easily be identified in some scenes from the movie such as: obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), borderline disorder, narcissistic disorder, and bipolar disorder.

Before watching the movie the “The Hammer” I didn’t know what to expect. I had never seen a deaf movie before and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to understand the movie completely.

Although life may be at its worst, the sense of morality within, will still shine through. As John Coffey is on death row, his moral decisions shine past him. While Paul Edgecomb feels the need to help those around him, it also shines. The moral decisions both these characters make shows who they are inside, exposing their beliefs in life. This also shows that morality is subjective to those as everyone's decisions are based on something personal and their own worldviews for the certain situations. As morality is subjective; as it could be seen as offensive, but yet it can be seen as acceptable. John Coffey’s decision on allowing his gift to leave the world may be seen as offensive to most, but to John himself it is seen as acceptable because he was in pain. In addition to so, Paul Edgecomb’s decision to allow the execution of John may also seem as unacceptable, as he knew John was innocent, but as John himself wanted to leave the world, Paul allowed it. Many moral decisions throughout the film are double edge swords, as they can create benefits or adversity; in the end, morality between characters is embodied within the film The Green Mile, allowing them to make the choices best fitted for

Filmed over the course of 12 years, Richard Linklater cast Ellar Coltrane as Mason as we follow his growth and childhood experience as he learns about life and himself. It sounds like an incredible idea and Linklater does deserve approbation for taking this approach, but 'Boyhood' fails to work as a character study. In fact, 'Boyhood' really does not have much to say besides "life goes by fast".
