Improved Essays
Imaginary friends are a part of any childhood, whether its toys or dolls coming to life through a child’s imagination or a completely made up character that only that child can see. But there comes a time when the child grows into adolescence and the hardest part about growing up is knowing when to let go of childish things. That's especially true for imaginary friends. Kate Tsang's, "So You've Grown Attached" is a touching take on when growing up and letting go become necessary but at the same time, bittersweet. The short film is about an imaginary friend, Ex, who is forced to consider retirement when his creator, Izzy, starts to grow up. Tsang uses live action, great animation, a black and white color scheme, and wonderfully matched

    Listening, however, is also portrayed heavily within this movie. The types of listening that are portrayed consist of receiving messages, understanding them, evaluating them, and then responding to them, and in this occasion, messages between Marty and Claire. Reference to these listening types can be drawn back to the scene in which Marty had told Claire that she was named a “dog”, which was taken harshly. Therefore, Marty understood Claire's nonverbal feedback, understood the message, evaluated it (by counteracting the offensive comment) and responded by complimenting Claire as “the most beautiful women” he has ever seen. Secondly, during the scene in which Marty was excessively talking and stopping himself in between to let Claire get a say, he mentioned how “this is who I am”, meaning he talks excessively and has rarely done this before (in hopes of a possible marriage with Claire).…

    The reteaming of director Paul Feig with actresses Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig would lead you to think that they are up for another touchtone, success of the exact same magnitude that “Bridesmaids” (2011) enjoyed of—being a commercial and critical success of a film. The succinct answer is an outright no. Although, “Ghostbusters” (2016) manages to remain afloat, mostly because it has a lot of heart, despite its conspicuous problems. You may argue that McCarthy, Wiig, and Hemsworth are enough of star power; plus, McKinnon, but she still remains more a TV power in lieu of movie power. It is understandable that the film attempts to prove that women can carry an entire film on their own, we have seen it happen more often, particularly during the past five years with films such as, “Frozen” (2013) toping as the highest grossing film of the year ($1.2 billion), “Maleficent” (2014) ending on the 4th place (more than $700 million), and the popular film series of “The Hunger Games” (2012-15), one of the highest grossing franchise of all time ($3 billion in revenues from the 5 films).…

    Both film stars’ image of modernity can be seen in their physicality, as well as their progressive portrayal of their bodies. Jeanne Moreau’s revolutionary new form of physicality that she expressed through her star persona, has lead her to be described by Guy Austin as a “red Woman.” For Austin, a red woman suggests a very frank and open relationship towards sex that was considered both threatening and indecent. Moreau came to occupy this image, due to her large role in the sexual liberation and awakening of the female in French society. Moreau portrayed sex and sexuality very candidly on film before from a uniquely feminine perspective while simultaneously presenting her body in a way that was typically not seen.…

    The basic message of this movie is that sometimes, when being too nice and kind, it can make someone a pushover, and when they are different as well, people will be mean to them. It may not be good to be where one can’t say no to anything, however, in the end, it is better to be a kind person because there will always be someone that will be able see more than what is on the outside. Two point of views that could be seen within this movie is that of the protagonist Melanie, and that of Innocent as an illegal immigrant. In Melanie’s point of view, being nice is natural for her, but she takes it as a sense of extreme, either you are nice and do everything for everyone or you are “naughty” and are mean and nasty to everyone and every creature.…

    Through the years, the United States has changed a lot of laws. One of the most recent changes would be the legalization of marijuana, as its a type of drug and its a crime to possess/consume drugs. Now, more than 20 states in the United States made it legal to consume and/or possess marijuana, but of course, there are strict regulations to get it, such as being over 21 and having an authorized card. But that 's not the crime I’ll be talking about, this one is more revolutionary as seen in our modern society. Couples today are more diverse, compared back to the 20th century when segregation and racism were extreme.…
