He’s Just Not That Into You: Interpersonal Communication
It is impossible to get through life without communicating. Better interpersonal communication skills help us success in different aspects of our life. He’s just not that into you is the movie that I will analyze. In this movie, there are nine main characters and they live intertwine with one another either by being a friend, a couple, friend of a friend. In this paper, I will explore how Gigi is using interpersonal communication on the evolution of personal relationship; and how she applies better communication skills in her relationship with others. Terms that I will apply and analyze in the films are: Perception, stereotype, mind reading, prototype, verbal communication, and the ambiguous of language, the abstract of language, ineffective listening, kinesics, commitment and self-disclosure.
He’s Just Not That Into You, a movie was directed by Ken Kwapis and released 2009, which is about a interconnecting story deals with the challenges of reading or misreading human behavior while in relationship. Gigi is always misread the signal from any of the men she dates but she never gives up finding her true love. Then she met a bar owner as well as her dating consular—Alex, who is sweet but cynical of love. There is a couple—Neil and Beth who has been together for seven years but she finally breaks up with him because he doesn’t want to be married. Janine and Ben are the married couple until Ben has an affair with Anna. Connor is trying to pursue Anna and he also had a date with Gigi before. Gigi always put herself to an awkward situation because of her unprofessional perception of man.
In Communication Mosaics: An introduction to the field of communication, Julia Wood (2004) tells us that “Perception is the active process of selecting, organizing and interpreting people, object, event, situation, and activities” and that “Perception shapes our understanding of other’s communication and the choices we make in our own communication” (p.47) She also defines stereotype
