Analysis of My Best Friend's Wedding

“You never know what you have until you reach out and it’s no

longer there.” This quote was given by an unknown source. This is

exactly what Jules is experiencing with her best friend Michael. Jules

went out with Michael for like a month and he fell in love with her,

they broke up, and he fell in love with someone else; Kimmy. Kimmy

is perfect in every way, she’s sweet, bright-eyed, smart, wealthy, and

more. Jules does not like Kimmy that much because Kimmy is so

irritatingly perfect, yet Jules is the maid of honor. In a distinct sort of

way, Jules is jealous. George, Jules editor, and gay best friend, is

pretty much the only sane person in the movie. He try’s to tell Jules

that it wont work out, and has no chance, but she is determined. All

in all, everyone in this movie has bad communication skills and

should work on them.

While sitting in the restaurant, Jules says to George

“sophomore year at Brown, me and Michael had this relationship, that

lasted one hot month......” while she was saying this, she was twisting

her hair around her finger, and kind of apprehensive about

everything. Everything that you do while talking is pretty much bad

commune skills. Like if you fold your arms your supposedly closing

the person out that you are talking to. But I don’t think that closes

people out. I think that if you sit there and roll your eyes, or if your

eyes wander, that’s not a good communication skills because, it

makes you look like you are not paying attention to the person you

are listening to.

Not everyone is perfect when speaking to others but all of the

characters in this movie have bad people skills. In order to perform a

more productive conversation there are a few things you must

remember NOT to do while speaking/listening. You should not twist

your hair around your finger or eat your hair. If you keep ringing

you’re hands out, you won’t have any hands to ring out. Every once

in a while, look at the person that you are having the conversation

with, you don’t necessarily have to stare at them and only them. You

can also make listening noises such as “ugh huh..... oh yeah,

mhmmm..., I understand” phrases like that will help you go far in a

discussion.

Every movie has a conflict no matter what, if its losing a button
