What are parents primary goal in life? The goal for most parents is to have a substantial amount of money to provide for their families. Although in some cases people are not fortunate enough to have millions of dollars. They have to make sacrifices for their families just like Lindsey Wakefield in Good Deeds. Lindsey Wakefield is an example of how the lack of money can cause many hardships and obstacles. Good Deeds is a movie about a woman name Lindsey Wakefield whose life changed after a traumatic event. Lindsey is a struggling single mother who is trying to balance life between her daughter Ariel and work. She works at a computer software company as a janitor, but she only gets paid a small amount of money. One morning Lindsey got a knock …show more content…

    Critical Analysis on the movie "Do the right thing" by Spike Lee.

    I dearly love the film and maintain that it's one of the great pictures from the last 10 years. I don't know what the director of this movie (Spike Lee) intended the moral to be, but my take on the film has always been that NO ONE does the right thing, and this is the cautionary element of the movie. The racial message about racial injustice is very deep and one that every race should see. The climax of the movie is very powerful and deep. The heat is blazing, tensions are running high (especially racial ones), and under this kind of pressure no one behaves according to common courtesy and decency. The entire film is a chain of uncontrolled outbursts of anger that lead to everyone's misery.…

    Analysis Of Do The Right Thing By Spike Lee

    Now a days America is split into two groups when it comes to how we feel toward the police. There are some who are pro- police while others identify as anti-police. In the Spike Lee movie, “Do the Right Thing” the police are not viewed in a positive light. The police are portrayed as the type of authority that abuses the power that comes with the responsibility of carrying around a shiny badge while also giving off the vibe of being racist. While we see police as our role models because of their actions in this film, they are not seen as so.…

    Movie Analysis: Ordinary People

    The movie Ordinary People describe the dysfunction of the Jarrett family after The oldest son, Buck, drowns in an accident and Conrad, the protagonist and brother of Buck, tries to kill himself. The movie starts with Conrad out of the hospital and trying to move on with his life. The communication in the household is disastrous, even hostile at times. Conrad and his parents, Beth and Calvin, engage in verbal silence and verbal abuse, which makes the household more dysfunctional. Using conflict management would allow the family to express their ideas and opinions in a healthier manner. This would probably lead to a growth in the bond they share.…

    Ap World History Movie Analysis

    Movies have always been a way to escape the world for a little while. Comedies, action films, and even horror; what happens in movies doesn’t always happen in real life, but sometimes it does. They open doors to the past, present, and future. I just finished watching the movie Elizabeth (1998) and the funny thing is I actually learned. Elizabeth is a great movie because while being entertaining it shows many of the 6 main themes of AP World History. War, violence, and religion are all parts of this movie, each part of a different theme. Now I would like to explain how this movie relates to World History.…

    She Done Him Wrong: Film Analysis

    When navigating the conservative yet vague production code put in place in 1930, studios were faced with only two potential courses of action; subverting or conforming to the code, usually doing both within the same film. This is illustrated in two films from the the decade after the code was created, 1933's She Done Him Wrong, which contains many examples of subversion and adherence to the code, and 1940's The Shop Around the Corner, which largely upholds the code . For example, She Done Him Wrong upholds the code, which forbids undressing unless essential to the plot, by cutting to a different scene whenever someone begins to undress, specifically at the beginning of the film when Lou's maid goes to unzip her dress and the scene is quickly…

    Mise-en-scene Analysis of "Good Will Hunting"

    The timing is reflected in the scene where the professor's assistant and Will are alone and the assistant tells Will how lucky he is to have someone believe in him as much as the professor does. As if on cue, the professor walks in just as his assistant finishes talking and gets up to leave. The cinematography in the movie is good. The viewer is immediately given some insight into Will's social status. The viewer is shown that he obviously lives in one of the poorer sections of Boston; you see that his front yard is overrun with trash and junk and that the overall look of the neighborhood is anything but colorful. What you see is drabness personified, the colors muted to the point that they look a lackluster grey. This becomes even more apparent when you compare the scene setting of a Harvard class, where the students appear to be attentive, clean cut, well dressed, and very enthusiastic to learn. In the scenes depicting the community college atmosphere the setting is of a classroom full of students who are barely awake, shabbily dressed compared to their Harvard counterparts, and seemingly not gripped with enthusiasm with what their teacher is talking about.…

    The scene starts with a close up of two character’s hands exchanging a set of car keys. Then the camera zooms out into a very brief establishing mid shot, showing three characters: two men and a woman. The main character, Henry Hill joins the woman, and the camera starts to track them from behind. They go down into the club’s basement, skipping the queue and walk through, what appears to be, a complicated kind of maze through the club’s kitchen and hallways.…
