Movie: Never Back Down

The movie Never Back Down is an action/drama sports movie directed by Jeff Wadlow starring Sean Faris as Jake Tyler a rebellious teenager that often gets in fights especially after his fathers death. Then there is Amber Heard as Baja Miller that are the beautiful girl Jake Tyler falls in love with. And last but not least there is Djimon Hounsou as Jean Roqua that is a mixed martial arts master and becomes Jake Tyler's trainer.

The movie begins at Jake Tyler's last football match of the year. Since Jake and his family is moving due to his little brother that have been given a tennis scholarship, so they have to move from Ohio, Florida to Orlando, Florida. Jake is an American football player and at the last football match of the year Jake Tyler gets in a fight after a guy on the other team offends Jake by mocking him about his father's death after a legally tackle. Later that day Jake's mother talks to him about his fight on the football field that day since Jake's trainer called her sending Jake into a silent rage.

After Jake Tyler and his little brother arrived in Orlando Jake says “We should not just continue driving? Mom would never miss us.” Jake's little brother replies with “She'd miss me.” As a joke and I believe this hints you that Jake and his mother got a messy relationship and maybe Jake fells like his mother don't love him and only care about his not to aggressive and kind little brother. On Jake's first day in the new school he notice Baja in class and after the teacher ask Baja a philosophical question because she is not paying attention in class and Jake save her by telling the answer she thanks him after class. Jake then ask if she can tell him the location of a classroom in a flirty, but kind way . While he is walking to the classroom minding his own business he walks pass a fight in a dark alley, when he notice the one guy getting crushed he walks in and try to stop the fight dodging a punch from the guy dominating

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    Jake resents the fact that he is so isolated but doesn't want to take the initiative to change his lifestyle. He resents how neglectful he has been of his daughter, Bernice, and resentful that he has never been able to live up to his father's expectations as a child. When Jake brings Bernice along to finally meet her grandfather, she is effortlessly accepted by him. Jake has always tried so hard to be accepted by his father, but all of his attempts had either gone unnoticed like how "the old man hadn't been around when [he was awarded with a] certificate [in Red Cross life-saving]", or when they had failed. He "[has] always resented that about [his father]; his attitude [towards his frailness]". His father had been somewhat understanding, so he showed it through his polite smiles. The emptiness of those smiles had hurt Jake through the years, stripping…
