...Movies Introduction to Film English 225 Hannah Judson June 7, 2010 Movies The movie that I consider interesting that I have seen lately is Jerry Maguire, starring Tom Cruise. This paper is going to be about how Jerry Maguire interested me, the moral of the movie, what the producer really was trying to relate to the audience far as an understanding, and the costumes of the cast. Majority, of movies have a goal of teaching or giving the audience some type of understanding or knowledge of something that is new to them from the movie that was produced. In my personally opinion, when I first looked at the cover and tried to analyze the movie Jerry Maguire, I thought it is going to basically about a man playing football. But, when I looked at the movie I noticed that Tom Cruise’s costume was very flashy at the beginning of the movie and then towards the middle and at the end he started to dress down and appeared to be poorer than he was in the beginning. In the beginning he wore nice suits with his hair slicked down and in the middle and the end he wore jeans, a tee shirt, gym shoes, a khaki colored jacket, and his hair was kind of all over his head. What the movie meant to me is that Tom Cruise was trying to get his professionally and personally life together throughout the entire movie, by playing a sports agent. Then he realized that he had to make a choice between being honest and/or dishonest throughout his career. By him making the...

...Jerry Maguire – Film Critique Teri Reed ENG225: Introduction to Film Instructor Daniel Burrello February 9, 2015 Jerry Maguire – Film Critique It takes several people to make a movie, from the Actors to the Directors, Writers and Producers, and to the Production Company, all of which are equally important to making a movie successful. There is a mixture of technical skills, while building strong relationships with trust, and following the personal vision of the director who serves as a master facilitator in editing and on the set. All of these people help the director to form the story in the film. A countless amount of time is put into a film’s analysis which observes the filmmaking techniques, in turn helps the audience to understand the style of the film. A film's style is a dependable on the cinematic methods that include the mise en scène, cinematography, editing, sound, and overall structure (Goodykoontz & Jacobs 2014). Filmmaker’s styles have advanced so much over many years in Hollywood, and they have incorporated many elements of all sorts of technical effects while developing distinctive approaches to making a movie. Director Cameron Crowe offers an inspiring thematic trio in the movie Jerry Maguire, it is filled with drama, comedy, and romance as it relates to a genre film. Cameron Crowe did his homework before he began to develop the character Jerry Maguire. He talked to a businessmen and interviewed him for about a year in order to develop the script...

...In attempting to examine the positions of whether money motivates or money does not motivate employees I will be examining both viewpoints and then providing my own personal observation and opinion of the topic at hand. When I think of the subject and the importance of “Money” in a working environment I am reminded of the scene in the movie Jerry McGuire where actor Cuba Gooding Jr. who plays “Rod Tidwell” a professional football player is on the phone with his sports agent Jerry McGuire played by Tom Cruise and Rod is looking for a new professional contract. McGuire asks Rod “What can I do for you Rod, what can I do for you?” and Rod tell him it’s “a personal and very important thing, are you ready?” McGuire says “I’m ready”. Rod says “Here it is” and tells McGuire to “Show Me The Money”, “Show Me The Money Jerry” and starts dancing in his kitchen. He then spells out the word M O N E Y and has Jerry screaming the phrase “Show Me the Money” back to him with passion like he really means it over the phone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaiSHcHM0PA). Now this may be a simplistic way of illustrating how money can be important to some individuals but it nonetheless shows that for some individuals it can be the only thing. Let us briefly examine that point of view first. Money Motivates There is no question that money motivates people. We are all looking to be paid a fair wage in whatever working profession that we are earning a living and...

...to the community. 4. Greater good in mind- Dedicate ourselves to carrying the best interest of our client’s, protecting them in health and in injury. 5. Satisfaction- Develop satisfied customers. Vision Statement “Demonstrate to be the best sports management firm, while preserving our virtuous dedication in the process” Question 2 “Differentiation” is the strategy Jerry is proposing for his new firm. Jerry’s objective is to remodel the sports management standard practice, by incorporating the idea that personal relationship is the essence of client management. This according to Jerry is an important missing element in the sports management industry. Providing this attribute will distinguish Jerry’s new firm from competitors, as other management firms don’t hold the same quality in their values. In “The things we think and do not say”, Jerry states: Let's bring soul and character to what is already there. I propose that we recreate everything that we're currently about. Question 3 “Task Significance” is the core job dimension proposed by Hackman and Oldham that Jerry Maguire sees as important, but missing at his current job at Sports Management International (SMI). This core job dimension, as explained in the textbook, “refers to whether a person’s job substantially affects other people’s work, health, or well-being”. Agents at SMI have become so caught...

... | | | |Mark McCormack, Superagent | |The founder of IMG managed and marketed athletes from Arnold Palmer to Monica Seles in a way that changed the game profoundly | In a famous scene in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, the sports agent played by Tom Cruise is goaded by his client, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., to repeatedly scream into the phone "Show me the money." By the time that film came out, however, the role of the sports agent had long since been transformed into one far more sophisticated than simply negotiating contracts. And while screenwriter Cameron Crowe based the Jerry Maguire character on agent Leigh Steinberg, it was Mark McCormack who ushered in the modern era of sports management and marketing. McCormack, founder of International Management Group (IMG), believed the popularity and marketability of athletes could transcend borders, cultures, language, even sports itself. McCormack-managed athletes were the first to endorse clothing, watches, and motor oil. They played exhibition matches around the world (you can thank McCormack for golf's upcoming "silly season"). They gave inspirational talks to business at a hefty...

...“What is Business Ethics?” Essay Posted on July 5, 2012 1 Introduction Dated back to Code of Hammurabi some 4,000 years ago, business ethics is a social science, whose main aim is to define and examine the responsibilities of businesses and their agents as a part of the general moral environment of a given society. The products of this field of research are sets of rules and codes of conducts, which serve as a means of protection from the possible infringements of moral codes as a result from the general activities and responsibilities of a firm to its stakeholders (e.g. generating profits for shareholders and taxes to the government). This paper will briefly explain the foundations and the growing importance of business ethics in today’s economy. Finally, it will describe several contemporary issues of research and practice. 2 The Rationale behind Business Ethics In its simplest sense, the field of business ethics represents the meeting point between ethics and business, where business decisions and their implementation are evaluated in terms of the “right” (moral) and “wrong” (immoral). However, ethical decision-making is far from being simple, as is involves much greater complexity and debate (Trevino & Brown, 2004) than other ethical fields, even complicated ones such as bioethics. The main reason for this confusion is not only the themes of business ethics, but the difficulty to recognize the relevance of ethics to the business decision in question. For example,...

...Downloaded by [University of Ottawa] at 14:44 24 March 2014 Football, Violence and Social Identity Downloaded by [University of Ottawa] at 14:44 24 March 2014 As the 1994 World Cup competition in the USA again demonstrates, football is one of the most popular participant and spectator sports around the world. The fortunes of teams can have great significance for the communities they represent at both local and national levels. Social and cultural analysts have only recently started to investigate the wide variety of customs, values and social patterns that surround the game in different societies. This volume contributes to the widening focus of research by presenting new data and explanations of football-related violence. Episodes of violence associated with football are relatively infrequent, but the occasional violent events which attract great media attention have their roots in the rituals of the matches, the loyalties and identities of players and crowds and the wider cultures and politics of the host societies. This book provides a unique cross-national examination of patterns of order and conflict surrounding football matches from this perspective with examples provided by expert contributors from Scotland, England, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Argentina and the USA. This book will be of interest to an international readership of informed soccer and sport enthusiasts and students of sport, leisure, society, deviance and culture. Richard Giulianotti, Norman...
