The proverbial stomach is in knots—wringing itself worn and casted. Something is not right. Hair stands on edge, gooseflesh emerged, palms secrete sweat, whilst throat is clenched. Something is not right. A banjo plays softly, a tendril of nostalgia, comfort in its own right settles in, but as voices join in melodious chorus; that creeping fear is back in full swing. “Brother, Sikiliza kwa wahenga.” Almost nauseating, the sensation of paralysing fear and leading anticipation has now taken permanent residence. Familiarity flirting with the unknown is Jordan Peele’s thrilling blockbuster, Get Out. In this paper, we will explore the character that goes by the name of Georgina alongside the cause and effect of evident posttraumatic stress disorder. …show more content…
In short abridgment our main character, Chris, is invited to his girlfriend’s family residence for a peaceful getaway from city life. Taken into consideration that Chris is in an interracial relationship, there are of course some reservations and precautions when entering a predominantly white neighbourhood as an African American man. And thus, the dilemma arises; every red flag, unheeded warning, and gut feeling that transpired for the first twenty minutes and onward has been blatantly disregarded. In which Chris must learn that doing so leads to dire …show more content…
As she enters the shot, Georgina is first displaying that faux smile, however when she is near Chris, her entire body stiffens as the smile dissipates slowly as if in a trance or in fact having an internal struggle. As she continues to pour Chris’ iced tea, her eyes become glazed over frozen in silent fear, possibly reliving an event. The voices that once swarmed her is instantly converted to background noise, everything is surreal and irrelevant in this space, until the lady of the house (in which she so happens to be a psychologist, this notion will be addressed later) forcefully injects her back to reality. Chris’ glass nearly brims over with the summertime beverage. Georgina profusely apologises and looks up to the household matriarch for forgiveness. Fortunately for Georgina, she’s released without reprimand and is only given a command in guise of genuine concern for her collective well being. Georgina bestows her signature smile in a modified kotow and departs. In this peculiar circumstance, it begs the question why would the housekeeper show signs of these disorders in her employer’s home? Did something happen? Did the hands of her very employers deal the abuse? Like a well thought out mystery, all will be revealed in due
She is clearly overwhelmed and distressed, as evidenced by the messy state that her room is in.

The film “Argo”, directed by Ben Affleck, re-enacted the events of the Canadian Caper during the Iranian Hostage Crisis (1979-1981) in Tehran, Iran. Not all 53 hostages were captured as six American diplomats escaped and were taken into the care of Ken Taylor, the Canadian Prime Minister at the time, in the Canadian embassy. Taylor and the Canadian government created a plan to help the diplomats escape, however, they needed an intelligence force to back them up, which they didn’t have. The C.I.A was contacted to help Canada get the diplomats back to Canada safely with fake Canadian passports. The C.I.A created the fake movie called “Argo” as well as a fake studio and script.
The movie that I decided to choose is “Girl, Interrupted”. Girl, Interrupted was written as an autobiography by Susanna Kaysen in 1993, which is actually about her life. James Mangold later wrote Girl, Interrupted as a movie script in 1999. Susanna Kaysen is taken to the hospital after a suicide attempt, that she says was not an attempt at all. The doctor does not believe her, so she ends up in a mental hospital.
Ethical challenges are of universal span; many people including police officers are confronted with the opportunities for violating organizational rules and norms daily. Most of the stories about police officers in the media, including Cops and Criminal Minds, are about respectable police officers, but the intense 2001 movie Training Day is not. Alonzo Harris, a veteran police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), is training Jake Hoyt, a rookie officer on his first day with the narcotics unit. Harris’ character is an example of police officers’ potential for corruption. For instance, when Harris misuses the police authority and uses some fake arrest warrant seizing millions of dollars from a former LAPD veteran, now an informant
The movie Cut is a short film directed by Park Chan Wook. The film begins with a vampire sucking blood from her victim; she gets a call during which she becomes violently sick. Then the camera zooms out and flashes to a back room where a director, played by Lee Byung Hun watches the scene unfold and the audience sees that the first scene is a film being short. The shooting comes to an end. He goes home and calls his wife, using the same lines that were used in the film.
Susanna’s roommate is Georgina, who is in the hospital for having pseudologia fantastica. Lisa starts to take Susanna under her wing and helps her to get to know the ropes. Susanna has sexual interactions with her boyfriend and with one of the orderly at the hospital in the same day, which is seen as promiscuous. Being promiscuous is a sign of her disorder (Mangold,1999). Once Lisa is moved out of the ward Susanna is in, the two of them decide to escape and sell Valium to get money to go to Florida.
Susanna also introduces Georgia, her roommate, Daisy, a seasonal patient, and Cynthia, a patient with serious depression. Lisa Cody shows that even in a hospital girls can still be very cruel. Lisa Cody quickly became friends
Formal Analysis of the movie, "Passengers" (2016) It’s a bit of a shame that the new Jennifer Lawrence / Chris Pratt movie Passengers got so slammed by critics. It’s not that I disagree with the consensus take on it, but I didn’t see as much engagement with what the movie was saying prior to the collapse at the end as I might have liked. It is indeed true that the movie instill a feeling of “being lost”. The end is a huge mess that undermines the rest of what has happened to that point, but through the first and second acts, it’s a pretty interesting movie with some provocative and intense ideas.
Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.
The first person Susanna meets is Georgina Tuskin. Georgian is diagnosed with pseudologia fanastica and a bit of schizophrenia. Pseudologia fanastica is a big fancy word for compulsive lying disordered. Thought the movie she was always caught up her made up lies. Georgina soon introduces Susanna to Lisa.
In The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing, and Take Command Of Your Life, Bernard Roth, professor of engineering at Stanford University states, “Because we are writing our own life stories in the first person, we need to realize that we give ourselves and all the other characters their meaning” (216). With this being said, people do have a meaning in other people’s lives, but this does not mean that they all have a positive or negative effect on it. In the film Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter, Riley is an eleven-year-old girl who has the perfect life in Minnesota. She is on a hockey team, has a best friend named Meg, and lives with her mother and father. Riley has always remained optimistic throughout her life.
One of the best usage of sound design as a tool of storytelling has to be in the first sequence of The Exorcist. As a horror movie, which as a genre builds itself on the vicarious experience it provides, uses more complex patterns of sound design templates to enhance the adventure of watching the movie. Throughout the first scene, Ken Nagle lays what the audience will be the experiencing through the duration of the movie with sound design; the duel between good and evil. The Exorcist’s first sequence, the audience can hear the digging sound of the workers, which resembles the heart pounding.

Adversity in “The Intouchables” “My true disability is not having to be in a wheel chair. It’s having to be without her.” (The Intouchables). Lines like that are just a piece of the great undertaking directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano took when they decided to be part of The Intouchables.
