    High Noon Film Analysis

    In 1952 there were multiple fantastic films that made it a close competition for best picture. I narrowed down my list of movies to The Quiet Man, High Noon, and The Greatest Show on Earth. I narrowed it down to these three because Moulin Rouge and Ivanhoe did not perform up to the standards it needed to have a chance at best picture. By thoroughly evaluating these films it has been determined that The Greatest Show on Earth clearly deserved to win its best picture award becuase of its emotional scenes, creative film techniques, and an impactful ending with a twist.…

    True Grit and Grits Worth

    1. True Grit is clearly set in a place with no boundaries. Mattie, Roster and Chaney all have at least one thing in common, a need for no set place or time. In this story there aren’t many rules or regulations, or not many followed rules or regulations at least. You see, there is a difference between dong what’s right or just and doing what you are supposed to. What’s right is always a good thing but usually gets you into trouble. However, doing what you are supposed to may save you from trouble but do no good for others. For rooster he basically follows no laws, roams around and protects people, and sets justice strait. Chaney on the other hand uses this lack of boundaries to basically become a nomadic trouble maker traveling from place to place stealing and running from justice or the law. Such as how if there were stricter boundaries he quite possibly could not have killed Frank Ross and the State Senator of Texas. Mattie is different and similar to both Rooster and Chaney. Mattie needs this expanse of time and space to fulfill her sense of independence. Mattie doesn’t feel free confined in a civilized society and loves her freedom. She doesn’t like using manners and dislikes being judged by those in society.…

The intriguing part of the film was that it showed what happens behind the doors of a “typical American family” or a family that put on a persona of a typical family. The Family Crucible written family psychiatrist Augustus Y. Napier, PhD, with Carl Whitaker, M.D. it tells a story of an American family who initially seeks counseling because of the abnormal and rebellious behavior of their adolescent daughter. The family in the book seeks family therapy only after individual therapy for the adolescent daughter seemed to fail in solving the behavioral issues the family was dealing with from the adolescent daughter. Many aspects of family dynamics were drawn to the surface both in the film about the Burnham family and the book about the Brice family. The three family dynamics or principles that were common and most pertinent to both families were triangulation, scapegoating, and lack of communication due to stress. Both the film, American Beauty and the book, The Family Crucible will demonstrate all three of these principles multiple times throughout their unique stories.…
