In the movie a group of 5 college students and a robot work through a series of events as they work to unmask the villain that stole from a college admissions event. Throughout the movie the team bonds and addresses the grief and depression from the death of a family member and friend. Big Hero Six is a movie that while a kid's movie was a big hit with the group for the screening and overall addresses a variety of issues. During the discussion, the questions from my screening were, "What causes the major turning points in the movie come?", "What topics does this movie address, how?", and "Do you feel that the villain represents the evil appropriately?". The first question sparked a major discussion as it was debated back and forth …show more content…
as it brings personal opinion into the matter.
This question allowed for the group to actively figure out where the film changed course, they came to the conclusion that there were two major turning points in the movie. The initial change in the film is when Tadashi takes Hiro to his college and Hiro meets his hero Professor Callaghan. The second turning point in the film is when Hiro after attempting to kill Professor Callaghan is shown the videos of Tadashi creating Baymax. The second question brought an equal amount of discussion on the different topics the movie addresses. The group found that a variety of topics were addressed in the movie, most importantly grief was a central point in the movie that was important to the movie as a whole. Grief was presented in a way that was easy for kids and adults to understand and ways to combat grief were given in a way that allowed people to better understand them. In addition to
grief, sacrifice played a big role and was repeated throughout the film. Sacrifice was first shown in Tadashi rushing into the burning building to try and help Professor Callaghan who was stuck inside. This is repeated when Baymax sacrifices himself for Hiro and Abigail. These two shows of sacrifice in Big Hero 6 played a major role, it showed a repetition and both effected Hiro, the main character in the movie. In addition, 2 questions sparked a deeper understanding of the movie as a whole. There was a question that sparked deeper understanding for the group, "What do the main characters learn about themselves, and how do they change?". The group found that to be a question that took thought to answer. It caused everyone to pause for a moment and think and then everyone had different ideas on how the characters helped themselves and each other grow. The group came to the decision that all of the characters grew over the movie in a substantial way. The hero's all grew personally in a way that helped them as people and college students. Overall the group had the most to say and think about with that question than any of the others. I have found that discussing with people changed the way I've been thinking about movies as well. I found that discussing movies with people who were not taking this class gave me a better understanding of my knowledge. I have never lead a film discussion before which made this a new experience that I feel really helped me to put the knowledge I have learned in this class to a purpose that gave me a better understanding of the movie and how films as a whole are studied. In addition, I feel that this allowed me to see how the learning can be applied in a practical way and it helps me to figure out the key points in the movie myself and understand more of the movie via editing, costumes, and sound. I found that talking in person with the group helped me to better understand the way films are analyzed and how a film's meaning change from watching them without a discussion and how the movie's meaning changes when its discussed afterward.
However, these possessions and goals did not make him happy as he thought they would. Furthermore, deception was a key factor which influenced him to become a villain. Megamind had thought that he was destined to be evil and that his fate was set out. In addition, when Megamind accidentally reveals he was playing Bernard when he was with Roxanne, she ends up rejecting him out of anger. Therefore, deception also brought Megamind lots of

One of which is developmental psychology. Secondly, the film also illustrates the conversion from short term to long term memory. The film also demonstrates a hypothesis on the conversion from short term memory to long term memory, as well as giving the audience an understanding of what depression is. Finally, it presents the stress and depression that can occur in children from major life events, such as moving long distances, and maybe even a bit of an example as to what a parent can do to relieve stress from major life events for their child.

Although there were many concepts that were present within the movie, I choose to focus on two that I thought to be most important. The first is the realistic conflict theory. Our textbook defines this as, “the view that prejudice...
The movie Big Hero 6 tells the story of of a hero and villain not dislike one another. Hiro Hamada, the hero of this story, has many qualities like Robert Callaghan, the villain, thus relating Big Hero 6 to East Asian mythology and the idea of dualism. Through the use of parallels between the hero and villain, Big Hero 6 shows the dualism of man, and how people have both good and bad inside them.
Based on my prior knowledge from the novel, the actors in the film surpassed my expectations. In my opinion, knowing the plot of the story made me note every individual facial expression and body action each actor did. In particular, Leonardo Dicaprio did a

The audience's reaction to the movie was that it was a must see picture. It was also commonly agreed that it was one of the best seen movies of its time. It is probably one of the best made films since "Braveheart"(1995), in many viewer's opinion.
This action film can be compared to many Disney movies like Frozen in where the main character is also secluded in a tough situation by herself until other characters are introduced to ease her problems. The theme in both movies and in many Disney movies could be conceived by multiple age groups. Big Hero 6 could be also compared to the play Othello by Shakespeare in where friendship plays a key role as the people who Othello chooses to befriend affect the story entirely such as one of Othello’s trusted friends the antagonist of the play Iago. Also like Big Hero 6 in where Hiro was betrayed by Robert Callaghan, Othello was betrayed by Iago as he trusted him and Iago betrayed his trust as he intends for Othello to lose his position throughout the play. You can go even as far to compare it two WWII in where France was struggling on their own against the Germans just like Hiro and how he is powerless by himself. Until, the formation of the allied powers in where this alliance helped defeat Germany just like Hiro and his friends and how without the he could not defeat Professor

I think central to the plot should be the change that occurred in Port and Kit's relationship after the bike ride to the top of the dune. Before this, their relationship was shaky and they were not as dependent on each other. Afterward, though, their relationship deepened and this sets the stage for Port's traumatic death. Port's death would definitely be a turning point in my film and a very emotional moment. I would try to display the raw pain and emotion of death as Bowles' does so eloquently in the book.
On June 6, 1943, in Greenbow, Alabama, an unexpected hero was born with a crooked spine, a low IQ and strong legs. Forrest Gump is not an expected conventional hero, however his accolades and accomplishments suggest otherwise. A hero is someone who inspires and instills good morals upon others by their courageous and outstanding acts. Forrest demonstrates these characteristics multiple times during his heroic journey. Whether it be diplomatic ping pong, fighting in the Vietnam War, becoming a local football legend at the University of Alabama or donating money to a deceased friend’s family, Forrest influenced many people with his unselfish and charitable acts. Joseph Campbell’s heroic monomyth consists of the following stages: taking place in an ordinary world, a call to adventure, refusal of said call, meeting with a mentor, crossing the threshold, trials and tribulations, an approach to the final challenge, an ordeal, a reward, the journey back, a purification or resurrection into the normal world and a return home with the capabilities to alter the world in which he lives. Many heroes follow this journey and Forrest Gump is no exception.
