The coherence (narrative probability) the film produced is satisfactory because it has a “degree to which the story hangs together” (Sellnow, 55); the structural coherency, character coherence, and material coherence the film produced fulfills not only the theory, but also showcasing Chicago’s culture. The structural and character coherencies of the film are excellent because it emphasizes the pressure of how women and men navigates in their relationship when it progresses to something deeper.

After watching the movie "Even the Rain", I was impressed how deeply it was thought out.

In the documentary “Fed Up,” sugar is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is happening even with the great stress that is set on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. Fed Up is a film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, with Executive Producers Katie Couric and Laurie David.

The filmmaker wants to educate the country on the effects of a poor diet and to open eyes to the obesity catastrophe in the United States. The main debate used is that sugar is the direct matter of obesity. Overall, I don’t believe the filmmaker’s debate was successful.

A League of Their Own (Marshall, 1992) explicitly characterizes an American era when a woman’s place was in the home. Even our modern perspective implicitly follows suit.

This film offers an illustration when men went to war and big business men utilized women as temporary replacements in factories, sports, and so on.

A set of practices concerning the narrative structure compose the classical Hollywood Paradigm.
