    Overall, the film effectively depicts individual stories of homosexuals and their families’ struggles that are both inspiring and a warning. If we are to ask, “What would Jesus do”, I think the Bible demonstrates over and over that we are to love, not hate or condemn. I thinks it’s time society wake-up and search for spiritual truth and let go of old stereotypes and embrace humanity.

    In the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s No Country For Old Men, Joel and Ethan Coen assert that society has lost the moral on which it was built. The Coen brothers develop this claim by manipulating the traditional characteristics of a Western film in order to create an anti-Western through which they depict the hopelessness of humanity within the current state of society. Through their use of mechanics such as innovative camera angles, sound manipulation and editing the film adaptation successfully portrays the immorality of society as an abyss of depraved humanity.

    “There's kind of a Zen aspect to bowling. The pins are either staying up or down before you even throw your arm back. It's kind of a mind-set. You want to be in this perfect mind-set before you released the ball.” Jeff Bridges describes bowling to be black or white; one pin can not both be up and down. However, the character whom Jeff Bridges portrays in the classic bowling noir film The Big Lebowski, the Dude, is far from black and white. Once he was an ex-social justice warrior protesting the Vietnam war, now he is hanging out with a disgruntled Vietnam vet. With a joint in his mouth and a White Russian in his hand, the Dude goes through life without a care, only waiting for his turn to bowl. Throughout the movie, the Dude is dragged into a series of unfortunate events, none of which are his idea.

  • Eternal Sunshine On The Spotless Mind Analysis

    376 Words  | 1 Pages

    While watching the scene of Joel getting his memory wiped clean of clementine in “Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind” you see a few different strange occurrences happen. This leads me to believe Joel is in REM sleep during his procedure. I have come this conclusion because our book states dreams during REM are “often emotional, usually story like, and richly hallucinatory” (Myers and Dewall, 11: 103). Throughout Joel’s procedure you see he experiences all three of those dreams. An example of Joel having an emotional dream would be when he cries out for the people working on him just to keep this one last memory. Also Joel is emotional while frantically trying to escape memory lose by running with Clementine.

  • Best Friends Movie Analysis

    1016 Words  | 3 Pages

    Movie examples only scratch the surface of “best friends.” Viewers see the typical girl duo that gossips and shops, completely joined at the hip, never without one another. They trade secrets and inside jokes like playing cards, and their names go hand in hand. That perception is not wrong; it is just not the whole truth. Your best friend should be all that movies say, but it is so much more complex than that. Relationships are the risk you take knowing you could lose someone, but best friends and forever loves are knowing they will always be there after a long day. Dave Matthews once said, “A guy and girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other… Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too

    Not only does this movie deal with the issues of society, but it points to biblical scriptures that help lead us in the right direction. The biggest lesson that this film taught me was that if I put my complete faith in God, then no matter what happens, he will provide, watch over, and take care of me. I learned that expressing belief in God is not enough. I have to live everyday believing and trusting him and I have to show my trust and faith through my actions and my words.
