“The world just wants us to fit in.” – Mr Incredible ‘The Incredibles’ is set in a world where society does not encourage individuality. Society opposes and supresses everyone who is different and forces them to fit into everyday life. The supers are banned from embracing their talents and are made to conform to the norm of society. This took away the meaning of being special. “They keep creating ways to celebrate mediocrity” – Mr Incredible. Average people with no extraordinary talents are praised for their normal level of excellence while the talented are brought down. People are cushioned by the compliments that they are special; disregarding the reality that true greatness is only achieved through effort and talent. The Parr family are a very good example of how society tries to constrict the supers from releasing their full potential. They used to hide behind a secret identity, but now these secret identities have become their everyday lives. At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to Mr Incredible and Elastigirl, two supers whom are living in ‘the glory days’. They are at the top of their game and being praised by society. However, soon after things begin to turn around, and society decides that supers need to remain hidden. …show more content…

However, the end of the film saw the ‘Parr Family’ transforms and unify into ‘The Incredibles’. When they were on Syndrome’s island, they were able to work together, using their powers to fight the Syndrome and his minions, they bonded and became more comfortable in their own self. They went from being extremely self-conscious of their powers to being comfortable in their own

    The film Miracle portrays one of the most significant moments in U.S Olympics history.

Writer and director, Andrew Jarecki, examined the details of three crimes associated with Durst, including the disappearance of Durst’s first wife Kathy, the murder of his dear friend, Susan, and the murder and dismemberment of his neighbor, Morris Black.

    Two scenes that stuck out to me in the movie Cinderella Man were major keys in showing what it was like in the Great Depression and how it affected people. Although in these scenes James did not talk much at all the actual events that took place showed what he and his family was going through. The first scene chosen was when James was trying to get a job, back in these times there would a crowd of people behind a fence or barrier and the person looking for workers would hand pick people to do the said job. In this scene people are behind a fence trying to be picked for they job because it was very hard to get work so many people were poor and were paid very badly.
