The Movie 50-50
50/50
50/50 was such a spontaneous movie to have seen, even though it had “simple” scenes in it and a basic plot of a “basic tragedy” life story of a man who finds out that he has cancer. But it's not just about a man with cancer and how he accepts his short cut of his life and died. No. This movie was more than just that, actually, the movie showed the man with cancer more than just a man who has cancer, which is why it made it interesting for me. This man did have a simple ordinary life yet; he, oh, so loved and had never seen anything wrong with it. Even when his best friend nags and nags about how his life was just so ordinary and boring. So once the young man finds out he was diagnosed with cancer he felt distraught of course as any other person would feel after they find something huge out like that. See you would think that nothing can go worse for him which I had also thought as well, given a man with an ordinary life finds out he has cancer what else can go wrong ?. Well, yes, it does get worse. Because sooner or later he finds out his girlfriend was cheating on him as well, but the thing is he didn’t find out about it by her or himself. He found out about it through his best friend. Which adds more rubbish on

Which made him more comfortable with her than how he was so after than they got closer which turned him more than just a client to her. But though the ups and downs he had surgery was “healed” as you can say but what made the movie interesting to me was it made the young man look life more even when everything is completely crap because life doesn't stop for anyone even if you have

    It can be seen from the foregoing discussion that various aspects of tragedy consume a large part of the film. However, there are also many examples of positive resolution and optimism in the film. One of this is Nick’s remission from cancer shown in the montages at the end of the film. We see Nick and Meryl being together which implied that Meryl’s panic attacks have diminished resulting in the two living happily together. Julia also comes to find closure in making Rob a memorial cross in his shed with his tools. This shows that once these tragedies have been confronted, the path for solutions…

    Both the movie “Separate but Equal”, and the article “ How the Supreme Court Arrives at Decisions” by William J. Brennan, Jr., shows how the Supreme Court deals with issues, and what it takes for them to come up with a decision. It is a very complicated process because they have to be able to interpret the text of thee Constitution and come up with a ruling which so often can change a current law and affect every citizen in the United States. If they do not take the time need then it can be catastrophic for the country. In “Separate but Equal” all the justices had different views on the issue concerning racial segregation in public schools. Some of these views had to do with what state the Justices came from and what those particular states believed in and represented, and some felt that way on a personal level. Decisions like that should not be made based on personal preference or because of where you were born and raised. Because of these multiple opposing opinions, it was very difficult for the Supreme Court to come to a ruling on this case. In the article, Brennan says that Justices represent the citizens who elected them their representative, and they make their decisions based on the law.…

    The things that impacted me about the movie are the fact that it is based on a true-life story. The filmmakers did a good job of being realistic in the fact that not everyone is going to support a mentally challenged individual all of the sudden being a part of a…

    This movie took so many unexpected turns it is unbelievable. The most interesting thing is that considering the era when the movie took place, there is such a rich plot and the overall story is extremely intriguing. This movie exhibits many social standards that we often still face today making it somewhat relatable to present day society. Feelings of insecurity was really the main background of this movie and that is what made it most relatable. The way the setting was exhibited through the film, the emotion of the film was captured through that.…

    The movie also covered the perspective and life of a person who recently became quadriplegic. Keith Cavill was a moto-cross rider and he became quadriplegic after sustaining a crash on his dirt bike. The introduction of Keith Cavill gave the movie an entirely new perspective on quadriplegia. It allowed me to understand the disability further because it gave me a look into the adjustment experience.…

    I will be writing about 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. This movie is about a girl who gets into an accident that results in brain damage. Then she experiences a form of amnesia called “Goldfield’s Syndrome” according to the movie. Basically, Goldfields syndrome doesn’t allow Drew to form new memories, but doesn’t erase what she knew before the accident. She can remember up to one day, then she relives the next day as if it was the first day after the accident, over and over again. The movie has its strengths and weaknesses in accurately portraying the memory. For the most part, I believe the movie did a good job portraying it.…

    I would recommend Me and Earl and the Dying Girl to anyone who likes a cliche movie where two people fall in love, and then one dies of cancer. Anyone who likes a sad, realistic fiction movie should definitely watch this movie. The plot is interesting, but predictable. Overall, I didn’t think this movie was outstanding, so I rate it three…

    The idea of Grace helping the boys is shown and also it explains the fact that her early life determines how she interacts with the troubled boys. I also agree that the movie acts as a good educational tool by using these experiences to show how people can handle certain situations. You also that caregivers provide an emotional role in peoples lives. In the review it also mentions that emotions are hard to understand but the movie does a good job of making the audience experience the emotions of the characters. The facility is good because Grace helped the young people and experienced emotions of their lives together. The relationships between the teens also were changed throughout the…

    How mentally intense a person can change when dealing with somebody that they care about so much. In the play, Stanley and Mitch both showed what it is like to go through a stage of emotional distress. Stanley who is normally cool and in charge had turned into a guy who begs for forgiveness when he had made the mistake of hurting Stella. Mitch, who was a friend of Stanley’s, had developed strong feelings Blanche. He had been very polite to her and had been doing his best to win her over. Then once he had learned about Blanche’s past, he changed from this guy who wanted to possibly marry into a guy who was just trying to take advantage of her. Once Blanche was about to be taken away by a Doctor, Mitch wanted to fight with Stanley because Mitch thought Stanley was the reason Blanche had turned into a psychopath. But the change in emotions of these guys had all come from the issues between themselves and a woman. Interesting how these relationships can affect people so…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…
