...Show Me the Money “The Pursuit of Happiness” University of Phoenix Fis/200 Tonda Bolinger I chose the film The Pursuit of Happiness. This movie is a very good example of how money can either make you or break you. It is about the real life a guy named Chris Gardner. He is a well-known stockbroker in California. Chris had just moved in with his wife and young son Christopher when he decided to use his whole life savings to buy these bone density machines. The original thought was that this high profile device would eventually replace the X-Ray machine by providing better imaging. Chris would soon figure out that these bone density devices were luxury item and considered to be well over priced. This making it very hard to sell those to anyone much less make any money to live off of. This was the start of all the problems Chris would face in the upcoming months. Lack of money was a big factor in how the whole movie unraveled. All of the problems he encountered while trying to sell these machines made a huge impact on his income. This led to his wife having to work a whole lot of extra shifts to be able to cover all the bills, adding pressure and financial shortcomings which led to difficult struggles between Chris and his wife. On top of making sure all the bills were paid she also had the young son to take care of. One day Chris was on his way to a potential sale. As he was walking along he saw this guy pull up in this very nice car. When the man steps out he asks him...

...slightly smaller screen was more than compensated for by the ambience. From outside to in, it reminded him of the cinemas in Europe his father had taken him to as a boy. In those days there had been an intermission for the ushers to bring ice-cream and candy down the aisles, an interruption that would be unthinkable in today's action packed blockbusters. With a small creak he knew he wouldn't be alone for much longer. The happy chatter and munching was all part of it, but he had to choose his seat first or it wouldn't be the same. It would be like a gift already opened. In moments his crisp ironed dress pants sank into the cushion. With soda to his right and the family sized popcorn on his left, all was right with his world. Nothing could go wrong now. The ritual had been perfect, all he had to do now was sit tight and wait for the curtains to draw and the movie to begin. Harry usually preferred no one sitting beside him in the theatres; that was why he had chosen the back seat. However, this time everything went the other way around. Not long after the movie started, the door of the theatre opened and came in a young lady around the same age as him. She carried a large soda and two medium-sized bags of popcorn in her arms - probably had company. Harry didn’t pay much attention to her until he realised she was heading to his row. Hands clenched and eyes closed, he prayed with all his life she won’t sit beside him. His prayers were left...

...struggling singers, love and life during a revolutionary period in U.S history that would prove to be unforgettable. This review will encompass topics such as “mise en scène,” (Goodykoontz, 2011), storytelling, cinematography techniques and the meanings behind the directors actions in a film. The names of the characters in Across the Universe, with the exception of the character “Max,” played by Joe Anderson, were all derived from original Beatles songs. For example there is a character named “Jude,” from the song, “Hey Jude,” who’s character is played by Jim Sturgess, as well as a character named “Lucie,” played by Evan Rachel Wood, and, “Prudence”, played by T.V Carpio. In any part of the movie you see, you can find a character of a Beatle’s song. Using the Beatles’ music to create a flow to the movie allows for all types of audience members to connect to the film. While some may have grown up listening to the Beatles when the band was still together, others may still connect today as the Beatles still remain popular throughout the ages. This can be referred to as the “Universal truths” technique. Universal truths are “experiences we can all relate to…we should be able to recognize what [the actor/actress] is going through, to feel empathy for his situation,...

...written by Donna Rockwell, a licensed clinical psychologist, and is a specialist in mental health. She has had fame close to her life. But not in a way you imagine. Her grandmother said that she was her favourite celebrity, and she will never forget that. Maybe if you have tried something likely you can relate? Donna tells about Andy Warhol who has said: “In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.” Maybe she is right. There is something about the rush of fame, which makes us simmer. We want it so badly, that we all dream about it, from time to another. Filmmaker John Waters appears in the article with the statement: “Most everybody secretly imagines themselves in show business, and every day on their way to work, they’re a little bit depressed they are not. People are sad they’re not famous in America. Has celebrity become the new normal? Is fame the new black?” It’s an interesting statement, a very chocking at the same time. Since when did it become normal to be famous? Since the new sorts of celebrities came by, the tendency has only grown. The number of reality starts will soon overload the musicians and artist. But not all people are ready for the commitment of fame. Screen star...

...Adam’s journey showed that no matter how you start, if you’re motivated and willing to work hard you could do it. Although it is a struggle to achieve certain dreams, as long as you set your mind to it you’ll be able to do it. This book must have inspired thousands of high school students to follow through with their goals in life. On the other hand many would say that Christopher’s journey was inspiring because it basically was based on love, life, adventure, and happiness. In the movie, “ Into the Wild”, directed by Sean Penn, towards the end of the film Chris writes, “ Happiness only real when shared”. I feel like it was at this moment where Chris realized by sharing his happiness with other people he had an impact on them throughout his journey. Although it wasn’t something that someone would normally recommend for students, it does prove that you have to enjoy the little things in life and that happiness is key to a better life. Both of their projects had a major impact on society because it gives people something to look up to for motivation, although they are very...

I will also elaborate on health insurance coverage by defining and reviewing the difference and similarities of PPO and HMO. Below is an ethical analysis of the characters in the movie “John Q.”: First of all let me explain what the movie is about before touching on the moral and ethical dilemmas of the characters. The director of this movie Nick Cassavetes reveals a social issue in the health care industry. He explains the ordeals of John Archibald, whose son has a serious cardiac condition that requires urgent surgery. John did not have an appropriate health insurance policy to cover the cost of the operation; the hospital chooses not to take the Good Samaritan route, and refuse to proceed with the operation. Therefore, John Q is confronted with a moral dilemma to accept fate and prepare for his son’s funeral as the Hope Memorial Hospital administrator, Rebecca Payne have suggested, or raise funds for the cardiac operation, which is a daunting task considering the time and emergency nature of the situation his son is in. John decided to take the...
