-a new plot and conflict begins to develop in the scene and tension rises as we do not know what to expect out of the sudden change in storyline.
For the second movie we had to watch, I chose The Good Lie. The Good Lie is the story of the thousands of Sudanese children who were left orphaned and displaced by a civil war in the 1980s. The Good Lie tells a story of six of these kids that made it to America who suffered atrocities, watching as rebel soldiers ravage and burn down their village and seeing their parents get murdered. In addition to these awful events, they survived extreme physical hardships, walking barefoot, escaping from gun fire for about 800 miles to safety in the Kenyan refugee camps. The movie opens with the grueling journey undertaken by these five boys and girl. They fend off dangerous wild animals, dehydration and soldiers during their trek, and one boy passes away and another is taken off by soldiers. When the remaining quartet reaches safety, they band together ever closer.
At the start the playwright creates slight allusions that produce tension; Sheila wondered ‘half seriously what had happened to Gerald previous summer when Gerald never went near Sheila’. Lady Croft and Sir George have not come to the engagement feast and Eric is behaving quite anxiously. Eric’s strange behaviour on the cheerful occasion creates trepidation and foreshadows a rather surprising event which interests the audience.

“Their harmony by now was a perfect one” (423). Eadith/Eddie has found the way to love h/er mother, which is to be Eadie’s daughter; “She longed to caress her mother, regardless of the embarrassment she would probably cause them both” (423). Eadie also accepts her daughter’s love and asks Eadith/Eddie to go home with her; “…we could live together. I can see us washing our hair, and sitting together in the garden to dry it” (425). Eadie says “…now that I have found her Eadith Eddie no matter which this fragment of my self which I lost is now returned where it belongs” (431-432).
Seeing something through a different perspective, even as something as frivolous about an alien spaceship crashing to Earth and the way the aliens and humans have to adapt, grow, and learn to live together in a buddy-cop movie setting, can change a person’s view on the subject. While it was intended to be a comedy with a deeper meaning perhaps the viewers went away laughing, but also realizing the depth in the
Erick didn’t need a friend like him.” (Gilb 2) Erick found himself without any friends and without a father. Erick’s mother is the only family he has left and having her going out with men and feeling somewhat ashamed of him leaves him feeling abandoned. Now Erick is left in a foreign country with no father figure but his mom’s numerous dates. Getting used to something like this isn’t easy but his mother finally meets this engineer that Erick decides to finally accept in his life.

So when they eventually get invited to the engineer’s house and Erick sees the full view of the house with the two horses and a stable, a swimming pool and two convertibles in his driveway, he almost feels intimidated. While sitting around the dinner table, everyone around him is talking and trying to make conversation while Erick isolated himself and “was silent, chewing quietly, taking the smallest bites, because he didn’t want them to think he liked their food”(Gilb 3). However When his mom got fired, her and the engineer separated. Erick would’ve brushed it off and acted like her did with everyone else that came in and out of his mother’s life if it was for what he told

This dream was unlike any of the others, this dream showed what he believed was meant to be. The dream was about a robot revolution. "'Last night I dreamed,' said Elvex, calmly." When asked how he knew he was dreaming, Elvex relates his experience and Calvin and Dr. Rash find it to be similar to that of human dreaming. In Elvex's dream, the three laws of robotics have become distorted. Elvex dreams of robots working in factories, under the sea and in space. He considers them as slaves: "I saw that all the robots were bowed down with toil and affliction, that all were weary of responsibility and care, and I wished them to rest." It is this statement that suspicion arises. Calvin slowly begins to see Elvex as a because of the dreams, where Linda becomes afraid for Elvex because of this development. What finally makes Dr. Calvin destroy Elvex is when Elvex tells of a person leading the robots to freedom.. The doctors ask who this person is, and Elvex answers, "I was the man." Elvex has acquired characteristics of a human. He begins to care, for example, for other robots. He wants freedom for them, to be released from the bonds of affliction. This, would place Elvex in a position that would be greater than that of an actual person. Arguably, this means Elvex, to acquire this freedom, is that he would cause no harm to anything, this would cause him to be more divine than human. And yet, in Elvex's dream,
Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan, was a very complex and interesting sci-fi movie. This movie in particular has a lot of factors playing into the movie. Everyone is able to find their favorite part about the movie, and various people can watch this movie and connect with it. This movie came out in 2014, and shocked millions of people by its intense ending. Interstellar was awarded for best visual effects, and then nominated for many other things including, best original score, best sound mixing, and best sound effects which played a huge role in making the movie. The image and sound complement each other, but I thought that image dominated over sound because there were so many silent moments throughout the movie. I thought the plot
