Sullivan (Kitty) and Mike Wazowski, two monsters working in a corporation (similar to Con Edison) trying to get enough screams to fill up their tank of energy to help run the town. During their adventure together they encounter with Boo a human child, which is forbidden in their alternate universe of monsters. They try to put the child back where it came from, and out of the harms of their enemy Randall Boggs and Henry J Waternoose III. The relationship that starts to grow between Boo and Kitty elicits a strong reaction towards me. Seeing that there is nothing wrong with those who are different.

    David Fincher's The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

    What we make of life in the time we have is the idea that David Fincher presents in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He shows a character that is different because he experiences life backwards, however he enjoys life and meets new friends and emotions. This is in direct contrast to the portrayal of Benjamin by Francis Scott Fitzgerald who shows a character who is not accepted into society because he is different and thus he lives out his life alone. The idea that you live life essentially alone, if you are different, is more effective in engaging the reader and creating a thoughtful response from an audience who connect to the basis of…

    Fear And Bias In Monsters Inc.

    As a toddler, Monsters Inc. taught me not to judge things or people without giving them a chance. Within the movie, fear and bias based on that fear drives the chaos that occurs. In the monster world, their society trains them to believe that humans are dangerous and evil, however they lacked experience involving interactions with humans, aside from scaring children in their sleep. By creating this fear, they establish a bias against humans, closing their mind off to sympathizing or understanding humans. However, once Boo’s presence forces Sully and Mike to recognize and mentally grasp that humans and monsters resemble each other at the core, the bias ingrained in them disappears and they forms a connection with Boo.…
