Terms Of Endearment Analysis

Terms of Endearment is a movie that follows the relationship between a mother and daughter. From childhood to adulthood viewers can watch the characters grow and change. They developed their qualities while still being themselves. I find this movie to be very good because it is very relatable. Most people have a mom that they might not get along with all the time, like in the movie. Although they fight they always seem to come back together and make up. It´s hard to stay mad at your mom for long because she is a girls bestfriend. Also this movie really brings out the emotion of those who are watching it. There is a scene where the daughter is laying in a hospital bed about to die from cancer. Her children come in and she says goodbye to them but they don 't quite understand.

I love history and this movie replicates a time in our past that will never be forgotten. It teaches us that something like this can never happen again. What I really love is that the main character is a boy whose father is a general for the Nazi army. The boy finds a labor camp near his house and meets a boy who is behind the fence. They become really good friends and the main character doesn 't see him as a jew that needs to be eliminated but a person who he loves to play with. The innocence of these two characters just proves that children aren 't born with hatred in their heart but are rather raised to believe in bad things. The main character even asks the jew ¨Why do you wear pyjamas all day?” This proves that the boy has no idea that it is a labor camp and that these men, women, and children are being killed and worked to death. This movie got me to cry alot which just proves the emotional level this story takes. It is a very powerful movie and I suggest everyone watch
