    As we age we start to worry about our family, specifically our parents. Who is going to take care of them, are they going to be able to stay at home, how much assistance are they going to need, is my sibling going to step in and help or am I going to be caring for them by myself? All of these questions can be overwhelming and cannot be answered until they actually happen. As we saw in Angels Preach a lot goes into caregiving and decision making for what is best for are loved one.

    The film The Believer, is a film about Danny Balint who is a Jewish boy that becomes a neo-Nazi. He grows up to be an angry, violent guy, attacking Judaism and Jews. Throughout the film, the paradoxical anti-Semitic view of Jewish self-hatred can be seen but along with this, viewers see that as much as Danny hates Jews and Judaism, he cares about the traditions as well. Although Danny kills himself, thus ending the protagonist, the ending of the film is inconclusive. One could argue that Danny chose to take his own life because of his internal struggle between being a neo-Nazi and a Jew.…

    Spiral Concept To me, the concept works very well. I like the fact that the main character is more that what she seems to be, and since she is going to move to new places, I can see it going for multiple seasons. Characters I like the twist that Carrie turns out to be a murder. Her violent past is what makes her interesting.

    Carrie Traits

    • 327 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The character I am choosing to use for this assignment is Carrie, from the movie Carrie (2002). I chose Carrie due to the fact that she displays herself throughout the movie as someone who is full of anxiety as well as depression. Based on what I learned from trait theory in class, a personality trait is usually consistent over time. Through the character Carrie, I believe she falls directly into the Big Five Personality Traits and Carrie’s would be neuroticism. Trait theory explains Carrie’s behavior of being neurotic due to the fact that she is a high school student with a very low self-esteem, doesn’t seem to be able to have a lot of friends or even interact with her peers on a daily basis.…

    The Goddess (1934) is a silent film made by Wu Yonggang, a well-known Chinese director in the 1930s. Hailed as “a masterpiece of ‘the first golden age of Chinese cinema’”, the film marked not only Wu’s directorial debut, but also “the pinnacle of [Ruan Lingyu’s] career” (Harris, 128). Ruan’s “mature, nuanced performance”, which was “subtle but at the same time powerful and rich”, proved to be a major factor in the movie’s success and lasting impact in Chinese cinema – even inspiring Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan to produce Centre Stage (1992), a biopic of Ruan, over fifty years later (Harris, 128; Rayns, 18). This response will examine and show how the depiction of Ruan Lingyu by male directors in both The Goddess and Centre Stage make use…
