It 's a tender hearted love story about impossibly happily married newlyweds, Leo (Channing Tatum) and Paige (Rachel McAdams). The scene starts off with Paige unbuckling her seat belt to lean over and kiss Leo, only to find herself crashing through the windshield leaving her in a coma due to a truck that rammed their car from behind. Their halcyon life suddenly shatters when Paige regains consciousness and does not recognize her husband, Leo. She has partial recollection of her life, only until five years ago. When her parents learn about her accident and came to visit her, they insisted on taking her back home with them because they never met Leo before and they did not seem happy about it. Leo then plays Paige a voice note where she sounds happy, trying to persuade her to come home with him. She agrees to leave with him, hoping it will help her regain back her lost memory. While Leo is persistent to win her heart back, she is more driven to her ex-fiance, Jeremy, trying to understand why she broke her engagement to him, why she left law school, why Leo never met her parents and why she never stayed in touch with her family and friends back home. One day, Paige found herself visiting Jeremy at work, and during the course of one encounter, she kisses him. With her sister 's wedding approaching, she decided to stay with her family until the wedding. Later, …show more content…
With Paige and Leo, that was not the case. Although it was not in Paige 's hand to lose her memory, the heartbreak and anxiety was too much for Leo to handle alone. It was unbearable for him to feel everything and watch her feel nothing. According to Longwbowtech who watched the movie says, "This was a wonderful and an inspiring movie of man 's perseverance in fighting for what makes life worth living." He believed that if he offered all of his love, it would be enough to convince her to love him back. Yet, she felt nothing and treated him like a stranger. Distracted by her ex-fiance most of the time, also made things way difficult for Leo. It is unfair, because she might never love him the same way she did, even though he genuinely loves her. Thus, many were touched by the ending, leaving them devastated. On the contrary, Adam managed to find a way to reconnect with Eden to help regain her memory back, even though it would land him in trouble. When she finally recovered old memories of Adam, the patrol once again caught them. Adam managed to escape, but as for Eden, she was arrested. Transworld agreed to drop charges against Eden, only if Adam would give them his anti gravity formula and never contact Eden again. But Eden, did not easily give up. She seeked help from Adam 's friend, Bob, who was his co worker at Transworld and he did help her reunite with her beloved,
In his essay, “It’s Just a Movie: A Teaching Essay for Introductory Media Classes”, Greg M. Smith argues that analyzing a film does not ruin, but enhances a movie-viewing experience; he supports his argument with supporting evidence. He addresses the careful planning required for movies. Messages are not meant to be telegrams. Audiences read into movies to understand basic plotlines. Viewers should examine works rather than society’s explanations. Each piece contributes to Smith’s argument, movies are worth scrutinizing.

Many people never realize or take much notice on what deaf people go through in life, but by watching the movie "Love is Never Silent", hearing people are able to have a clear view of what it is like to be deaf in the hearing world. Many different perspectives towards how deaf people live, socialize, party or work are built by many distinctive types of people. As the movie "Love is Never Silent" shows, Margaret and her family are isolated from their community. They aren 't allowed to sign in front of the hearing because it 's strange and abnormal. Seeing a deaf person sign during a time where being different can make a person look like an outcast makes hearing people pity the deaf and end up treating them as ignorant people. Although deaf

One could easily dismiss movies as superficial, unnecessarily violent spectacles, although such a viewpoint is distressingly pessimistic and myopic. In a given year, several films are released which have long-lasting effects on large numbers of individuals. These pictures speak
Often times people neglect the fact that the things- such as films- that they see and hear day to day can actually be worthwhile in teaching them. They come into contact with them purely for the purpose of being entertained and, sometimes, do not even realize that they are being taught valuable life lessons in the process. In conjunction with this theory, Professor Michael Taylor once said, “We don’t often think of the value of media beyond its entertainment, but there is a whole area that has to do with education through entertainment. As filmmakers, the work that we do has a huge impact on our culture. With that comes an opportunity, and may be even a responsibility, to use that impact for greater good.” Many French and Francophone films

Satire criticises and makes fun of the norms of human society. It adds an intellectual humour along with the archetypes that is present in the story. In The Princess Bride, by William Goldman, satire is in a wide variety of parts in the story from the communication between others to the character themselves including the Spaniard, Inigo Montoya. The author portrays Inigo as a Spaniard who becomes a fencer to seek revenge on the six-fingered man for the murder of his father, Domingo Montoya and he becomes a henchman to the criminal Vizzini. He is a very caring man to people he cares about, but he can only act on vengeance since he truly loves his father. With his attention only on reprisal, it can blind him from achieving the results he wants and that can significantly affect his personality as he is driven by it. When he finds the six-fingered man, he prepares after many years of training with famous fencers and even has a saying that he plants in his brain so that it is the driven force of vengeance. He is the ‘evil figure with an ultimately good heart’ archetype as he is a part of Vizzini’s group with Fezzik, but he has a change in heart that he needs Westley’s help to storm the castle. Although Inigo is a prestigious fencer who only cares about revenge, the author plays with satirical devices that portray the faults and weaknesses of his characteristics while maintaining his status as the best swordsman in his generation.
The ways in which Bridesmaids rejects patriarchal structures while simultaneously supporting them establishes a unique ideology: in order to meet the cultural comedic conception, these female characters reject particular standards of patriarchy, but the ways in which they do so successfully are due to their adherence to masculine norms and symbolic reversal (Buckley 19). Thus, Bridesmaids resists the male gaze and gives women empowerment to take the an active role in comedy, liberating them in the sense that it equates their humor to that of men’s, to embody new forms of feminine desire for women in cinema. In response to the men at the beginning of this essay who would say Bridesmaids doesn’t deliver this, Tina Fey has some words for them, “We don’t fucking care if you like it” (Moss).

Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.
...lly when it comes to be portrayed in movies such as the ones discussed in this paper. Both movies are meant to teach valuable lessons. Lessons which are pushing the human beings towards evolution, the dignity of living right by observing the existence as a unique gift and make us reflect on the fact that time is free will, an unforgiving champion, which do not gives us the right to return and fix a mistake. Any mistake in this life is difficult to repair, leaves scars and strongly reflects on the human generations.
Movies take us inside the skin of people quite different from ourselves and to places different from our routine surroundings. As humans, we always seek enlargement of our being and wanted to be more than ourselves. Each one of us, by nature, sees the world with a perspective and selectivity different from others. But, we want to see the world through other’s eyes; imagine with other’s imaginations; feel with other’s hearts, at a same time as with our own. Movies offer us a window onto the wider world, broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders.
