In the boat scene when Michael told Julianne what Kimmy said, “if you love someone you say it right then, out loud, otherwise the moment passes you by” (Netter, Whitcher & Hogan,1997).

“My Best Friend’s Wedding” is so unpredictable, but properly organized. Four stars out of five awarded by many viewers to the movie. “My Best Friend’s Wedding” ends up with a different couple than people expected. As the movie happens, it starts with Michael telling Julianne he is dating and is getting married to Kimmy in four days. Despite that, Julianne travels for the wedding with the intention of breaking the couple up. Unfortunately for Julianne, her best friend is getting married to the girl of his dreams, Kimmy (Netter, Whitcher & Hogan,1997). This mimics real-life situations. The movie’s ending disappoints the audience because, in their view, they wanted Julianne and Michael to end up together. The director of the movie thought otherwise, which makes the movie so classic. To the viewers, the ending is more of a mixed feeling of love and hate, making the movie a ‘must see’. The movie tells the audience that life is so unfair. So, loving someone does not guarantee a happy ending together. Also, often we do not realize what we have, until someone else has

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a film made in 2004 directed by Joel Zwick that evidently portrays several sociological concepts throughout the film. This film highly demonstrates the sociological topics of gender and culture all through the movie.

One could easily dismiss movies as superficial, unnecessarily violent spectacles, although such a viewpoint is distressingly pessimistic and myopic. In a given year, several films are released which have long-lasting effects on large numbers of individuals. These pictures speak
Satire criticises and makes fun of the norms of human society. It adds an intellectual humour along with the archetypes that is present in the story. In The Princess Bride, by William Goldman, satire is in a wide variety of parts in the story from the communication between others to the character themselves including the Spaniard, Inigo Montoya. The author portrays Inigo as a Spaniard who becomes a fencer to seek revenge on the six-fingered man for the murder of his father, Domingo Montoya and he becomes a henchman to the criminal Vizzini. He is a very caring man to people he cares about, but he can only act on vengeance since he truly loves his father. With his attention only on reprisal, it can blind him from achieving the results he wants and that can significantly affect his personality as he is driven by it. When he finds the six-fingered man, he prepares after many years of training with famous fencers and even has a saying that he plants in his brain so that it is the driven force of vengeance. He is the ‘evil figure with an ultimately good heart’ archetype as he is a part of Vizzini’s group with Fezzik, but he has a change in heart that he needs Westley’s help to storm the castle. Although Inigo is a prestigious fencer who only cares about revenge, the author plays with satirical devices that portray the faults and weaknesses of his characteristics while maintaining his status as the best swordsman in his generation.
The movie Bridesmaids has been my favorite movie since the first time I viewed it, with just the perfect amount of humor and real-life difficulties to satisfy. After I started learning about interpersonal communication I realized how many of my personal relationships use the concepts we have discussed as well as how I have used the concepts while becoming who I am now.

Some people might say that these movies provide entertainment and transport families into the lives of princes and princesses. Many critics have said that the films have amazing soundtracks and have detailed and interesting plots. Still, however entertaining the films may be, the way women are viewed and treated outweigh any enjoyment that a viewer could have.

After watching the movie “The Break Up”, I can say that the protagonist Brooke Meyers and Gary Brobowski are a couple that live together in a condo where they share everything and care about each other.

Are things rough all over? If they are, check out Francis Ford Coppola’s version of The Outsiders. You won’t regret it. Everyone has rough times in their life. Just like the Socs and the Greasers.

Considering the time period, The movie supports Hinton’s novel when you look at the locations, Socs, and the greasers.

Cinematography during the opening scene of the film Punch-Drunk Love is a long shot framing of the main character Barry seated at his desk in a large open space, this emptiness presented an overwhelming personality of loneliness and exclusion in relation to Barry’s life. Following a telephone conversation, Barry sets off towards the off screen space and the camera follows panning left to right with an angled view. Ultimately, Barry is engulfed in a shadowy emptiness, this transfer in space also suggests elements of Barry’s life are lost in a mass of fruitlessness. On the other hand, there may be hope as Barry exits the black void, he is framed in a doorway of light to the outside world.
Movies take us inside the skin of people quite different from ourselves and to places different from our routine surroundings. As humans, we always seek enlargement of our being and wanted to be more than ourselves. Each one of us, by nature, sees the world with a perspective and selectivity different from others. But, we want to see the world through other’s eyes; imagine with other’s imaginations; feel with other’s hearts, at a same time as with our own. Movies offer us a window onto the wider world, broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders.
Breaking back through the surface, a person may find that, while the love they felt was real, it was far too consuming to work long term. While love can feel fantastical and surreal, in order for the relationship to endure, it must carry through into reality, as well. Often times, those in love seem like they are living in their own world, entirely out of touch with reality. It is during the low tide, or the low times, when love is tested. Love is capable of making people feel a vast range of other emotions when a relationship evolves or
