The Importance Of Surviving In Movies

Improved Essays
Surviving is a hard task. Movies, stories, T.V. series, and comics often show protagonists, whether they be a girl or a boy of a heroic genre, thriving through their conflicts. If noticed, most of these main characters meet an organization, group, or random people and fight along them. Although, why not by themselves? The reason is that knowing the presence of other people has a realistically less difficulty than being a lone wolf. Firstly, there is the knowledge of the company of warm, alive beings. Even if they may be strangers, just understanding their existence is a relief. Observing that they are tangible, not a hallucination, is something that humans often are assured about and is in which their own natural nature. Such as, in the story

    In Luis Alberto Urrea’s novel, “The Devil’s highway,” he uses a passage that describes the migrants’ digression towards death as they travel across the Yuma desert to create an uncomfortable, and sympathetic feeling from the audience. Throughout the book, Urrea uses imagery to describe the harsh conditions of the desert, and the high risk that comes along with attempting to cross it. The passage goes into detail about the unavoidable stages of hyperthermia and how each of these effects the body. Urrea intends to create more emotions within the reader and to help them fully connect with the tone throughout the book. Through imagery he not only describes to the reader what these people may have gone through while making their passage across the…

    To be alone is like to be in a crowded room full of people. Just it’s all inside your head.

    Everyone knows about the American movie business. Millions of dollars go into financing big movie projects just to entertain ourselves away from the real world, and millions of dollars are sent back in tickets to go see these films. Certainly, this business has been booming for the past one-hundred years, and we keep on fueling the fire. Movies aren’t just about entertainment only. Many films have become part of the American culture, and many films from the US show how Americans think and feel about certain trends or ideas.…

    If Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant) in North by Northwest is noted for his boldness and nonchalance combined with personal charm, Manny Balestrero (Henry Fonda) in The Wrong Man for his humility, calm and composure, then Grace Kelley can be seen as an embodiment of pluck courage and self-confidence at its heroic heights. America is well known for its plucky courage and mettle/fortitude they displayed during the two world wars. Hitchcock could well appreciate it living in Hollywood as a British citizen having his roots in Britain. Hollywood films have exhibited this bravado time and again while projecting the American characters as part of the myth making structure. Small courage usually never finds its way in genre films which included…

    Once again, the film addresses Ticktin’s notion of humanitarianism and the limitations in humanitarian acts that expedites the regulation of migration and leads to consequences through Filippo’s decision to flee. Ticktin’s quote, “...although driven by the moral and ethical imperative to relieve suffering, can have discriminatory and even violent consequences in the absence of guiding political principles and practices” (2006: 2) reveals that humanitarianism results in ramifications because assisting other refugees is a form of encouraging “illegal migration.” Filippo’s motive to give up his freedom in order to promote another family’s security supports Ticktin’s argument because Filippo had to flee Italy with the family since his actions…

    The Crow in the Woods The Crow in the Woods by John Updike is unlike any other story I have read before. The author does an odd but wonderful job in describing in detail the thoughts and surroundings of an average married man. This story meets course goal number seven as it enhances the students’ understanding of the value of holistic thinking in making informed judgments and in applying values as they become increasingly conscious of what is at stake if we fail to understand the relationship between human culture and the environment.…

    Since most people can make some kind of connection to the sensation of “fire”, they feel empathy. This insight makes the reader recognize that the holocaust would be a terrible thing to have to experience and therefore makes them want to prevent it. This realization also causes the reader to contemplate times when they’ve known others who were in pain and comprehend that others feel just as much pain as they do. It makes the reader face the truth that there is no “us” and “them” there is only a “we”: the human race. Understanding this inspires readers to be kind to their neighbors, respect people unknown to them, and strive for a better…

    While a group presence can lead to inhibition, it can also lead to people helping others. We can be pro-social bystanders and prevent or intervene in an emergency. An example of a crime prevention strategy could involve a safety initiative, which encourages members of the public to recognise and address a situation where there is an increased risk of violence occurring, such as looking out for the welfare of friends, peers, family members and colleagues and being mindful along with being proactive in response to what is going on in one’s surrounding environment. For example, offering to escort a friend home (Powell, Di Salvia & AIFS, 2014). Most research on bystanders usually focuses on why people intervene to prevent crime, rather than why they don’t.…

    Personally, I found the film The Mask You Live In very eye opening. It focuses around how young boys are taught to portray their assigned gender and how they carry the lessons they are given into manhood. From as young as six years old, a boy is taught not to show emotion; that crying and hugging and any public displays of affection towards friends or loved ones in too feminine and unmanly. Boys learn to watch their father figures and associate them as the ideal role model for masculinity. When a father shows aggression towards a woman who then starts to cry, a young boy would not initially know what to make of it, and would possibly then associate violence with being manly and strong emotions as weak and girly.…
