    The Notebook

    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.…

    David Fincher's Fight Club

    Action and drama are the basic features any movie requires to reach success but David Fincher gives these two genres a whole new meaning in his movie ‘Fight Club’.

    Wallstreet

    Wall Street by Oliver Stone gives you a great perspective on real life situations that can be occurring in the world around us. Bud, a new-comer to the stock market world, was eager to get himself out there and be a successful stockbroker. Bud became engaged with Gordon Gekko, a successful shareholder and business man. Gordon took advantage of the resources and insider information Bud had with the airline company his father worked at, leading to insider trading. This became an issue because Bud believed he could trust Gordon that he would not sell off the airline company to make more money, but indeed Gordon did betraying Bud. To Bud, this was something unexpected, personal and he was completely blind-sided by the situation, but to Gordon it was just a business deal. The movie really gives you an angle on real life situations that could potentially end devastatingly. In Wall Street, there are two quotes that fit my view on the Stock Market and one that does not.…

    Wolf Of Wall Street Satire

    The Wolf of Wall Street is a film which was released on December 25, 2013 and managed to make a grand impact on all who ventured to see it. Director Martin Scorsese and writer Jordan Belfort were able to manipulate the story of Belfort’s life through extravagant, lavish, and relatively vile acts; which, in the movie seem to vicariously satisfy many viewers unknowing needs for a crime-comedy movie with a degree of intellectualism and semi-tonal black comedy. In my opinion, Wolf of Wall Street was able to conquer the ever growing population of businessmen with a quintessential and satirical analysis of their respective lifestyles. However, some people categorize The Wolf of Wall Street as propaganda or dislike it due…

    The Big Short Analysis

    To keep the stress away, he listens to hard rock and always takes his drumsticks with him to the office where he remains comfortably in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. Mr. Carell’s Mark Baum is a respected hedge-fund manager who’s not afraid to tell what he thinks, often showing indignity about how the market works; he’s a man of principles and keeps struggling hard with the suicide of his brother. Jared Vennet, an elegant trader for Deutsche Bank, was the one who informed Baum and his team about what was coming, urging them to investigate and take their own conclusions. Pitt’s Ben Rickert, wearing a beard and eyeglasses, is considerably more discreet than the rest of the bright visionaries. Less exuberant than “The Wolf of Wall Street”, funnier than “Margin Call”, and equally striking as “99 Homes”, the intrepid and almost impolite “The Big Short”, flowing at a commendable pace, is only short in its title since both message and presentation are big and explanatory enough to elucidate and…

    Compared with oriental people’s implicit quest for freedom and truth, people in western countries are more direct which means that they pursue their goals through practice. The book, Into the Wild, tells a story about a guy who had a philosophical journey. The book shows a process of a person’s spiritual growth: from the yearning for the absolute freedom, a kind of irrepressible impulse and force, to the yearning for the happiness. Maybe, at beginning, what Chris McCandless pursuing was the happiness, but he hadn’t realized it yet. But finally, he realized it.…

    The Big Short

    The Big Short

    Let me get right to the point: The Big Short is as sharp as a serrated 100$ bill. Ever reminiscent of The Wolf Of Wall Street (with much less sexual exploitation), The Big Short tackles serious themes with flare without ever forgetting to bring the viewer along for the ride. Just as Jordan Belfort would interject witty remarks to keep Wall Street fresh and as beautifully self indulgent as its protagonist, The Big Short allows the great Ryan Gosling to narrate and keep you up to date with the help of some impeccable celebrity cameos. It services the film in a big way. It keeps it snapping from one character of its talented ensemble to the next without letting you get bored and it lets the audience in on the joke ("hey we're making a movie to…

    Personal Narrative: Occupy Wall Street

    Wall Street is evil and corrupt… or at least that's all I hear from news headlines and organizations like Occupy Wall Street. After consistently hearing about corrupt brokers and managers like Bernie Madoff and Jordan Belfort, I began to buy into this facade. I enjoyed following the stock market, but I didn’t want to pursue it as a career out of fear of social repercussions. Last summer, this all changed. A few of my friends and I were awarded a free trip to Washington D.C. for placing fifth in a national stock market competition. While there, my views did a complete one-eighty.…
