Working 9 To 5 Just To Stay Alive

Decent Essays
Another perspective that we see in the movie is the social constructionist which focuses on how people learn, through their interactions with each other, to classify the world and their place in it (Hutchison, 2015). The artist Beyoncé Knowles song Ghost states, “All these people on the planet. Working 9 to 5, just to stay alive. The 9 to 5 just to stay alive (6x) All the people on the planet. Working 9 to 5 to stay alive. How come?” (Easy Radio Access, 2013). This is a great acknowledgement on how from years past we saw how people in our societies work to survive. The interactions that we see happening in our daily lives influence how we become in the future. This also intertwines with the developmental perspective on how human behavior changes

    This movie is the rare mix between animation and real action film. It is not a movie in which the animation and characters interact with each other, but there is a balance between both genres. It is a coming of age story and how the lives of teenagers can be affected by simple events in their ordinary life. In the Seventies, the fifteen years old troublemaker and leader altar boy Tim Sullivan and his three great friends, Francis Doyle, Wade Scalisi and Joey Anderson, study in a repressive Catholic school, and they hate their nun-teacher Sister Assumpta. Francis has a crush on Margie Flynn, who has a dramatic secret in her life.…

    Mockingbird Racism

    The main point of the film is to display the era of the 1930s and how racism, prejudice and injustice reigned in the United States, the real America. I believe the purpose of this particular film was to display and promote the comparison of killing a mocking bird to executing an innocent individual. In the film the comparison is to an African American male, Tom Robinson. A main character named Atticus Finch declares in a conversation, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds.…

    Dystopian movies share a universal theme about the loss of humanity. The movie I chose to analyze was the Dystopian movie, I am Legend, by Francis Lawrence. This movie shows how the humans tried to cure cancer, but in the end, they just made it worse than before. The humans are the only ones that can fix their problem and that’s what Will Smith’s character does. Throughout the movie, narrative transport, sacrificial love, moral lesson, and social cohesion are all used to show the universal theme that happens in society.…

    Lift Documentary Analysis

    • 3 Pages

    The 2001 documentary 'lift' by Marc Isaac captures the everyday life of different character types within one East London tower block, from old women moaning about life to young men in love, as well as all types of ethnicities. The 24 minute long documentary begins to create a tv show kind of feel to it as the same people regularly appear and the audience begin to learn more about them through both casual conversations as well as questions asked by Isaac. Diegetic sound is used throughout, segments are cut that show close ups of the lift as well as the sounds it makes. Isaac also captures everyday things that makes sounds that we ignore for example a bee, this is consistently cut throughout the film. The idea of people missing out on everyday things such as the noise of a lift or a bee is reinforced by the very generic questions that Isaac asks the people in the lift such as "what did you dream about last…

    Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a film that can be critiqued with many different views and opinions. It is obvious to many that this film is an allegory for the Cold War; but it is tough to say whether or not is a critique of American conformity or a warning of the communist threat in the United States. While both arguments can be made, warning of the communist threat in the United States is the most represented throughout the film. Invasion of the Body Snatchers depiction of the warning of the communist threat in the United States can be represented by the mystery of the alien pods, the behavior and suspicious acts of their species, and the way no one wants to believe that these incidents are happening.…
