Term Life Film Analysis
Term Life is a story of Nick Barrow who plans heist but does not participate in them.

Nick kept away from his daughter, Hailee because he did not want her to be involved in his world of crime. However, he had to went Victor sent his men after her. Hailee did not want anything to do with him either slowly grew to understand and love him.

It was interesting to see how Nick uses his understanding of human behavior to plan out his work and how he uses it to hide in plain sight - especially when he

    One way Nick changed was that in the beginning of the story he went from being an annoying pest to now being more certain of things. In the beginning of the story Nick was very annoying. Caitlin filed a restraining order against Nick because of the abusive behavior Nick was treating her with back when they were dating around December. Instead of Nick saying to Caitlin when he saw her “ I’m sorry Caitlin” he says “Why are you doing this Cat?” “I thought we had something special.”(FLINN2) This was Nicks way of being annoying because I’m pretty sure Caitlin has heard this many times before and would have preferred something more like a sorry for all that he has put her through. Another example of Nick having annoying behavior is when he’s in the violence class and Mario asks him why he was they and he says “I don’t know why I’m here. I lost it once and slapped my…

    It 's a delicate subject. And it tells a hard story. Because while Nick is (obviously) not without his faults, he most certainly has his good points as well. And as I read I found myself feeling... not sympathetic, exactly, but definitely feeling something, more than I thought I would.…

    From my point of view Nick does not fit with those around him upon his visit to the East egg. Tom, Daisy and Jordan are very self involved even when around each other and they don’t have a particular interest in Nick however he is very interested in them. They interrupt him and each other regularly for example ‘“this Mr Gatsby you speak of is my neighbour-” I began’ or ‘“...great, big, hulking physical specimen of a-” I hate that word hulking” objected Tom crossly. ‘Nick is very different to this as he is good at listening and is very intrigued by those around him as this new experience in the east egg is so different to that of the West. However Tom and…
