Tourette's Syndrome: Movie Analysis

Improved Essays
10. What did you learn from this film? Would you recommend it to others? If so, whom? If not, why? Throughout the film, I learned a lot about the symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome, and I learned that the stereotypical portrayal of Tourette’s is far from the only example. Every person with the syndrome displays unique tics in their own way, and it can have a negative impact on their behavior and academic performance if not acknowledged. I would recommend this movie to all educators or individuals that deal with children in their profession. It is so important to understand the differences between voluntary behaviors and involuntary because children respond to the punishments they are given in negative ways. Simply punishing a child without

    I strongly believe that these films were not only educational but also inspiring to people especially at our age. Most importantly, most of the issues pointed out in these films were relatable. For the Q&A session with Mary Dore, she mentioned that her main goal was to educate others. Although this sounds simple, it indicated how our society lacks the appropriate education on such issues. The core courses that are emphasized in many colleges are important, but I definitely agree with the director that institutions need to give students more opportunities to approach issues such as human rights.…

    1:To recreate the tension or the emotions portrayed in a scene, would be difficult because everyone who reads the story has a different interpretation, for an example humor is a very unique factor and some may find it funny when others see it as sad. 2:One of the last scene i think would be difficult to recreate when they are being hanged, for the fact of injury or to portray the scene with such an intense emotion and a message it tries to send isn't the easiest task for film makes. 3:I would have rion renaldas play john proctor because i think he's an amazing actor and someone who can portray the scenes very well with his kind of character. 4:The clothing in the movie shows what they are wearing show the time period the very dull colors…

    The inspiring sections of this movie is getting to learn different cultural traditions. For example, kite fighting when Hassan was teaching Amir tricks to cut the string of the other kites and getting to know many different beliefs like when Baba mentioned “blood is good for the tree”. Out of a scale of 0-5, I would award the movie a 4, due to lack of explanation of the character's moral behaviors, but a well entertaining…

    Going to watch Anatomy of Hate at 9 pm, I did not know what to expect. Once the film started playing though my gut reaction was disturbed. I could not understand how others could tear someone down based on skin color and religion. I have known what happened in Germany during world war 2, but somehow I have held out hope that there were no one treating people terribly in America. What disgusted me was seeing how parents portrayed views on their own children that were discriminatory and seeing how children would hold signs with words I never could imagine saying.…

    Introduction “The image often evoked to describe autism is that of a beautiful child in a glass shell.” (Schopler, E., Mesibov, G., 1995) For decades many parents have clung to this notion, of hoping that one day a means might be found to break the invisible barrier. Thus far, no cure has been found. Perhaps the time has come for the image to be shattered. Perhaps the time has come to concentrate, rather, on understanding the minds of the autistic.…

    Exploring Communication Disorders state individuals suffering from pervasive developmental disorder, also known as autism, show the following characteristics, “impairments in the development of social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication skills, and imaginative activities”(Tanner, 2012, p.156). Raymond highlights these characteristics throughout the entire film. An example featured in the film was when Raymond refused to go on an airplane and forms a tantrum that is not typically expected of a man his age (Rain Man, 1988). Raymond also refused to make eye contact and did not understand humor as his brother jokingly asks “Who’s on first base?” (Rain Man, 1988)…
