The family that preys

This is a good family movie that can show the viewer’s how some people prey on one another. This movie reminded me of the times my brother and I didn’t get along. It shows how different families are and how they treat one another. Sadly this movie also shows how family members can be so cold blooded. This movie duplicates real life situations where innocent People get hurt, family loyalty gets divided and couples end up in divorce.
This movie is centered on two main couples and a few supporting characters.
Chris & Andrea
This couple is different than most in many ways. Andrea, the wife character is all about money and power and thinks only about herself. Chris is a hard working husband who works as a construction worker for Cartwright inc. the same company his wife works for. Chris and Andrea were right out of college when they married. As time goes on, you can see that neither Chris nor Andrea lived their life for the lord, both allowed themselves to become too busy to go to church. Chris still hung onto his morals remaining a faithful husband and a loving father. However Andrea, unlike Chris was flirting from the day they got married with Mr. Cartwright who became their boss. During the four years of their marriage she was getting large bonuses for carrying on an affair with Mr. Cartwright. These three characters obviously live without God and do things of a secular nature in their life. I think Chris and Andrea could have had a blessed marriage and a good life had they let God lead them. Andrea behind her husband Chris’s back is hiding the money that Mr. Cartwright has been giving her over the years. Chris while at the bank one day finds out that his wife Andrea has a separate account with 286.000.00. This is example is a lesson on trust within a marriage.
BEN & PAM
This couple is shown to be the opposite of Chris and Andrea. Ben and Pam are loving and close, they work on their marriage and communicate and

    9/11 Analysis

    1. The strong point of the movie is that it shows the parallel worlds of Lana and her uncle Paul. They both are people who try to help the world be a better place and they both end up in horrible situations in two very important cities in the United States. Lana is in Los Angeles volunteering at a Christian homeless shelter and Paul who is a Vietnam veteran tries to prevent Los Angeles from attacks just like 9/11. He suspects everyone who is of Arabic origin. They meet each other when a Pakistani gets brutally murdered. The best part of the movie is the well-assembled scenes, they are very dynamic, and that makes it that the two storylines come together so nicely. The Paul’s character is very tragic, he has suffered so much trauma in his life,…

    I felt as though this movie was a worthy representation of three specific concepts I have learned so far this semester in psychology. Different situations in the movie led me to think about parenting styles, adolescence, as well as the social learning theory of gender-role development. In the beginning of the movie, the parents have not yet united their two families of 18 children. The father’s job as an admiral has forced his 8 children to relocate more than 12 times over the years.…

    In the very first couple scenes, I saw a man who was truly in love with his job and his wife. However, his happily ever after did not end so happily. After catching his wife in bed with his boss and then finding out a day or so later that his father passed away, Judd’s life began to spiral out of control even faster than it already was. After receiving news of the request his father had asked, he was told that he needed to live at home for seven days in order to properly mourn the death of his fathers. The next seven days at home created a huge mess for the family. There were arguments and physical fights, but there was also love and affection from each family member. Judd was thrown several curve balls while he was at home as well, but he handled them all very well for the most part. Throughout this whole time Judd was very generous of his time, but he was also questioning what he wanted to do with his life. He spent time with this family, but also wondered if his father would be happy with how his life was. This is why Judd was stuck in the Generativity and Stagnation stage. In the end, Judd was able to figure out what he wanted to do with his life and knew he had a clean slate after the storm he…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…
