    In The Breakfast Club, there is an overwhelming idea of the future. The students only think about one week in advance before their Saturday detention. They never thought about what their actions could do to their future. For example, Brian did not seem to grasp that because he was so ready to kill himself over one failed assignment. He was thinking in the now and not in the future. A noticeable moral of this film is: Parents should actually raise their children. In this film, all of the parents have minimal screentime, but it is still evident that they totally suck. Claire’s parents use her as a tool of revenge against one another, and her parents fail to see the effect it has on her. Andrew’s parents push him too hard, and as a result he is…

    Hollywood entered a new phase with the coming of sound movies in 1927 and it was also chronicled as the golden decade for the crime film, with the flourishing of two classical genres-gangster film and prison film. The gangster films echoed the financial predicaments of many ordinary Americans during the Great Depression, and in doing so it influences the succeeding genres. Gangster films connected criminality with economic hardship and portrayed gangsters as underdogs. They soothed the financially struggling Americans and at the same time attacked crime and the government’s inability to control it. Prison films also had its root in silent films which became popular in the 1930s, left the audience cheering for the “wrong side” (Rafter 20).…

    Fight Club “Its only after we’ve lost everything are we free to do anything”, Tyler Durden as (Brad Pitt) states, among many other lines of contemplation. In Fight Club, a nameless narrator, a typical “everyman,” played as (Edward Norton) is trapped in the world of large corporations, condominium living, and all the money he needs to spend on all the useless stuff he doesn’t need.

    "Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths." The late author and advertising executive, Lois Wyse made an excellent point in highlighting one of America's old time mentalities: "Men are superior to women." Women gained the right to vote in the 1920's. Nearly 80 years later, we live in a society where men generally make more money than women, and women get harassed for taking maternity leave at work. A certain percentage of society might say that women should consider themselves lucky they have the right to work at all. According to Christian faith, woman was made from man. In theory, women are predestined in their eternal gratefulness to men for all they have or will ever achieve. Is this the correct way to look at the topic? What would a sociologist say about the it? According to them, why can't men be happy unless they're superior to their female counterparts?…

    According to this film, the United States medical system seems to look out for the business itself versus the American people. The United States medical system focuses more on the reasons to reject a person and save money rather than to save their reputation and keep the business coming. The U.S. medical system does extensive background checks and many different things could be the reasons that you cannot get the help you need. The biggest problem I see is not so much as the amount the health insurance costs but moreover the coverage offered or received.…

    “Basically, they do in different ways what Polanski does in Chinatown: set the elements of a conventional popular genre in an altered context”. Although it doesn’t follow every guideline for a classic film noir film Chinatown is an example of the genre. The film simply takes place in modern times (when it came out). The 1970’s even provides a similar backdrop for the film to that of 1940’s film noir, a major war affecting the country. The film itself contains many key characteristics that noir will always be known for. Some of the characteristics include the style of the film, the femme fatale, and the emphasis of fatalism. I believe that even with some of the drastic differences between classic noir films and this one Chinatown is a modern…
