  • Movie Analysis: Film Analysis Of The Secret Window

    1392 Words  | 3 Pages

    The movie I chose to write about was the “Secret Window”. The main characters were Mort, Shooter (a hallucination of a person made up by Mort), Amy (Mort’s ex-wife), Ted (Amy’s boyfriend). The movie starts out with Mort, a published author, finding out that his wife was having an affair and wanted to leave him. In the same time he was having strife with another “author” Shooter, who was accusing him of plagiarizing his story. Events occurred in the middle where Mort was trying to find proof that Shooter was incorrect and that the story was his first, and he was also having issues with his wife who was pleading with him to sign divorce papers. Leading to the end, I’m not sure if Mort realized that he was Shooter and it was someone he had made up, but the director of the movie made it clear to the viewers this was happening and Mort ended up murdering Amy and Ted and completely losing sight of reality. The movie ends with him eating corn and implying that he buried their bodies in a corn field outside the secret window of his cabin home.

    Postmodern works often incorporate an aspect of randomness; this randomness is sometimes purposeful while other times it comes across as completely haphazard. Randomness is a part of what defines postmodernity, but how big of a factor is it when trying to classify something as a postmodern work? It’s possible that works including randomness are automatically defined as postmodern or that the postmodern genre was in part created in order to classify these random works in a type of miscellaneous category.

    One of our deepest needs as humans is to be valued. The need to be needed is often more powerful than the need to survive. Every one of us has a deep longing to write our signature on the world. As individuals, we are each equipped with unique gifts and talents to share with our family, our community, and our world. Nelson Mandela once said, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." When we open ourselves to become all that we were created to be, we allow those around us to be themselves, empowering them to be a unique individual and to use the talents they possess. It doesn't matter if we are brilliant, beautiful, or incredibly charismatic. We can make a difference by just being who we are. We simpl...
