    During the Talladega 500, Cal Naughton Jr., Ricky Bobby's former best friend, pulled ahead of Ricky, allowing him to slingshot around his car and pass Jean Girard. Though Cal and Girard were teammates at Dennit Racing, Cal disregarded this and jeopardized his team's success to aid Ricky in the movie Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. This moment was crucial to Ricky, he having fallen from grace, going from NASCAR's top driver to being let go by Dennit Racing. The love Cal exhibited was a selfless form of love that was centered entirely around Ricky's happiness, not his own. Because of this selflessness, Cal compromised his own agenda, winning for Dennit, and disregarded personal consequence in hopes that Ricky would win the race. If you truly love someone as Cal loved Ricky, you must sometimes compromise your own interests for their benefit.

  • Film Analysis Of The Movie 'Big Night'

    1446 Words  | 3 Pages

    Big Night has a very impactful message of what it means to affirm our humanity and creatively shows how we go about embracing this can be either good or bad for those around us. I do not believe that it is accurate to classify the term “humanity” as morally good actions done to help our fellow mankind, but rather believe that “affirming our humanity” refers to exemplifying what makes us truly human. This includes a wide spectrum of morality and ethics which must be embraced in order for us to fully understand ourselves. I believe Big Night is a film that boldly illustrates the wide range of things that make us human, whether they be good or bad. Applying a literary lens to our mind while watching Big Night allows the viewer to see how some of the plot styles used in this film, particularly comedy, tragedy and rebirth, relate to this idea of affirming our humanity albeit in drastically different ways. Using a scriptural lens, we can reveal other aspects such as corruption and redemption story arcs and how they relate to affirming what it

    The forward-tracking movement as used in Ernie's restaurant suggests the forward-tracking shot that is used throughout the film to show Madeleine has an allure for Scottie. Ernie's scene evokes the backward-tracking shot used throughout the film to show how Scottie is bonded to his object of desire.

The camera movement in Ernie’s Restaurant brings out forward and backward tracks that defines the point-of-view structure, but here the camera movement does not straight forwardly articulate a point of view.
