My Best Friend Wedding
My best friend's wedding is a movie about a woman named Julianne who is a food critic, by a promise made years earlier. She had a best friend named Michael who she had been romantically involved with during college. Things did not work out between them so they decided to remain best of friends. They also agreed that if they were 28 years old and had not gotten married, they would marry each other. Michael was a sports writer and always traveled all over the country. When she finds out that he's marrying someone else, she becomes jealous and tries to break off the wedding. After Michael tells his best friend, Julianne that he is getting married in four days, she goes straight to Chicago to help him get through. But she has every intention to stop the wedding and steal the groom from Kimberly. She finds out that she loves him and wants him for herself. So, she sets out to break off the wedding, but things prove to be really difficult, since the bride seems to be "the perfect woman.
Finally, on the day of the wedding, Jules tells Mike she loves him and kisses him, but to her disadvantage, Kimmy is watching them. Now Michael has to decide whom he loves most. Julianne finally manages to get the couple to break up about two-thirds of the way into the movie, but then regrets what she has done, and so spends the last third of the movie trying to get them back together again.
In this movie Julianne had other alternatives she could have made to the decision she made. In every decision that an individual makes it is always good for a person to have an alternative solutions. Just as a back up in case the first idea doesn't go as plan. Julianne had two alternatives when it came to making her decision, she could either have allowed Michael to marry Kimmy, or she could have done what ever it took to break up the wedding between Kimmy and Michael no matter what it took in order for them to end up together at the age of twenty eight years. Julianne did not evaluate the

    The past three years have been really hard on me. I moved to Columbia when I was in the 10th grade and, I had to totally start over with friends and a new school. My life was simple and I thought I didn 't have to worry about anything. I began to see my mom spending a lot of her time with the same guy, and every chance she got she would go see him.

    As human beings we use communication in many ways. This is why theories are developed so that we can categorize patterns of communication to better understand ourselves and others. Theories categorize the differences in communication between women and men, help to better understand the conflicts that arise between children and their parents, and help to develop a better understanding of communication in general. Patterns of communication such as these are exemplified in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding.…

    Bridesmaids Movie Review

    • 636 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Bridesmaids is a terrifically funny, smart, and emotional ensemble comedy. Some may say it’s the female version of The Hangover, while others may think it’s quite similar to Bride Wars. This movie pulls off the amazingly uncanny trick of being both brutal and gentle at the same time. I highly recommend this movie to all audiences over the age of 17. The unexpected truth of being a bridesmaid is revealed, but in the end, Kristen Wigg (Annie) persuades you that there is a greater light at the end of the tunnel. Despite the chaos, lifelong friendships end up being what truly matters.…

    The scene I chose to write about is from one of my favorite movies, Blue Valentine. Directed by Derek Cianfrance, this movie is an examination of a marriage on the rocks, as well as the beginnings of a new one, by the same people. Ryan Gosling plays Dean, a high school dropout trying to make ends meet without any support from his family, and Michelle Williams plays Cindy, a pre-med student living with her unhappy parents. On an off chance, Dean and Cindy meet one another and fall in love and get married. This courtship, however, is inter-cut with a scene of Dean and Cindy, five years later still married, arguing and crying in the kitchen of their house. This scene, which is sort of two scenes woven together, is one of the most emotionally gripping things I have ever seen and the scene that I am going to dissect.…

    Throughout the semester, we have been introduced to many topics related to interpersonal communication. I have come to believe that these concepts have allowed me to better understand interactions that occur in our daily lives. My knowledge of these concepts was challenged when asked to relate these notions to a movie. During the time that I was watching the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I realized myself grasping onto what was going on and being able to relate certain scenes and situations to topics I had previously learned about. Interactions in My Big Fat Greek Wedding display concepts of conflict and politeness theory, which can be pointed out in a few specific scenes.…

    Julian believes that “Knowing who you are is good for one generation only....you do not have the foggiest idea...who you are”(O'Connor 28). His mother, on the other hand, believes that 'knowing who you are' is close to an eternal concept. As Julian's mother says, “you remain who you are”(O'Connor 28). That indicates she believes the essence of a person does not change, and the essence of a family does not change with the passage of time, which is why she is so fixated on her family…
