Just Go With It Movie Analysis

The top two female actresses I believe are the best are Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. The top two male actors that I believe to be the best actors are Adam Sandler and Will Smith.

Jennifer Aniston:
Just Go with It stars one of my favorite actors, Adam Sandler, and one of my favorite actresses, Jennifer Aniston. One of the reasons why she is one of my favorite actresses is the fact that her sense of humor comes out and stands out in every film or show that she does. For example, in this movie, when Danny takes her to the shoe store, she finds a $1700 pair of heels and when he tries to tell her no, she says that she is starting to feel bad and she may not be able to make it to his meeting. He then ends up buying the shoes. Her character’s

She does a great job of expressing, her character, Lauren’s feeling of being completely torn between the two men throughout the film. For example, there is a scene in the movie where Lauren calls her best friend, Trish, and asks her to come over. Trish comes over and Lauren explains how amazing both Tuck and FDR, her two love interests, are and how she is having an issue with choosing between them. In my opinion, she does a great job in any film with some sort of love interest. In fact, in the movie Sweet Home Alabama, Witherspoon does a great job conveying, her character, Melanie Smooter’s feelings. This movie is about a young woman named Melanie Smooter. She uprooted herself from the small town in Alabama, where she grew up in, and moved to New York. She has to go back to Alabama to get a divorce from her husband, Jake Perry, after they had not seen each other for the past seven years. You can only imagine the look on Jake’s face after his wife that left him seven years ago shows up on his doorstep with divorce papers. Witherspoon does a great job expressing how Melanie’s feelings toward Jake change from the beginning to the end of the film. For example, at the beginning of the film, the scene where she shows up at Jake’s doorstep demanding him to sign the divorce paper, it seems as if Melanie does not care about Jake anymore. However, as the film progresses, Witherspoon does a great job subtly showing how Melanie still has feelings for Jake. Which eventually leads to the scene where it is raining and Melanie runs out into the sand and when Jake asks her why she would want to be married to him and she responds, “So I can kiss you anytime I want.” All in all, Reese Witherspoon does a great job expressing her character’s feelings making the film more believable and entertaining which is why she is such a good

    The method through which these texts attempt to meet the purpose of production emphasises the role of film as a shared cultural event. In particular, the Why We Fight series, as it intends to trigger a dialogue that changes attitudes within society, allows for a consideration of the process of spectatorship by those at war. It is important to note Robert Rosenstone’s assertion that historical information in film only “fully [satisfies] … the “filmgoer”, not “the historian”, due to the inherent restrictions of the medium. However, this also suggests that films produced during the period reveal the response of societies to the representations of war in these texts.…

    The Joy of Stats Nishant Sinha Kennesaw Mountain High School The Joy of Stats One statistical trend I could identify from Dan Hillman’s film The Joy of Stats was the growing difference in the quality of life between eastern and western countries for a span of about 138 years, beginning in 1810. The primary cause of this trend was the industrialization of western countries such as England and the United States, leading to higher life expectancy and greater income (Mayr, 2017). Following the growth of the quality of life gap, a contradictory trend began in 1948 when the practice of colonialism ended. Since then the quality of life gap between eastern and western countries has been decreasing due to the increased export of valuable resources such as oil from developing countries (Hillman, director, 2010).…

    David Denby paints us a picture of how Hollywood portrays high school life in movies. The very first movie of the Bring It On series, titled Bring It On, fits his description almost perfectly. The main characters in this movie are high schoolers that are very passionate about cheerleading. It sounds like an innocent movie that everyone can watch, but this movie contains a lot of adult humor. Denby described Hollywood’s portrayal of high school as a “never ending nightmare” (p. 366).…
