Planned Parenthood Film Analysis

Improved Essays
In the End, it is Always Family Regardless of how many differences we all have with our family, they’re the ones who will always be there for us. They will lift us up when we are down and they’ll straighten our path when our road becomes a little curvy. They will love us unconditionally, no matter how many times you mess up. And that’s the one really good thing about family. You can scream, rip each other’s head off, and mistreat each other, but deep down, nothing can change the love we have in our hearts. Each of the families in “Planned Parenthood” is completely different from one another. This makes me think of my own family. My mom, my dad, my brother and I, are all aliens to one another. Sometimes I wonder how we even made it 17 years …show more content…
In the film, Julie implies that her mom made her ditch her friends so she could study for her SAT’s. An example of this in my life would be when my mom makes me rearrange my entire plans for the day because she wants me to go and work at the family business when I wasn’t scheduled. Another example would be automatically saying, “No,” as soon as I ask to leave the house. And then she complains about how I’m always by …show more content…
Sometimes, I feel like I’m adopted. I mean it’s like I am an alien in my family the majority of the time. I have completely different beliefs than everyone else I live with. This causes us to argue and bicker. A lot. I’m also zoned out most of the time during family gatherings. Besides the typical, “Oh how is school?’ or the “Sweetie, you’ve gotten so big!” deal, no one really tends to have a true conversation with me. Yet, it doesn’t bother me. I love them. Anytime I happen to have a hard time or need something, I know that they will always be there for me no matter what happens. No matter what I do to anger them. Because that’s what family does. They’re there for you. During your highs and your lows. You begin your life with family, and you end with family. Whether you like it or not, they’re always going to be that annoying little bug biting your ear, but I’d rather have a million bug bites than none at

    Family is Forever Sometimes you can get a concept out of a movie that actually relates to you. I found some concepts in the movie “Parenthood” that relates to my family and I. First off, when I was growing up, I remember saying I was never going to grow up and teach my kids the way my parents did. I was the one that wouldn’t cause trouble, but I was also the one that didn’t want to do anything but play outside with the neighbor kids.…
