Honor Thy Father Analysis

960 Words4 Pages

Bob Laurence V. Caridad 12 – Humility REACTION PAPER I watched a movie called Honor thy Father which is about a family who had incredible debt due to a Ponzi scheme. If you are not aware what a Ponzi scheme is, it is a way of getting payments to pay older investors their money; it’s a just a cycle of circulating money. A lot of companies actually do this as far as I know and that this type of investment scheme is just begging for a disaster to happen eventually. In this case it did. John lloyd’s character, Edgar is married to Kaye who runs the little Ponzi scheme. Kaye’s father was found dead in his car at the outskirts of Pampanga, by the dried up lahar there. Now I believe that this was a deliberate act of murder and not just an accident. Why is that? well it’s because that it turns out, Kaye’s father who was just killed, …show more content…

How witty the screenwriters are for this, I’ll give them that. They caught me by surprise in this for I never expected a heist-like movie. In fact, this movie gave us a new glimpse to the other side of the story. It gave us the side of the people who are affected in a certain murder instead of the normal investigation of the murder and find the culprit. It was a fun twist that was really appreciated by each audience subconsciously for it gave us a refresh of a story that has been overplayed. Anyways, Edgar got the money and proceeded to the handout in a secluded area. Very typical of a movie of this genre, but the ending was nothing but different. The handoff ended as quickly as it even began. Edgar threw the money to the dirt and while the parishioner got to the bags, Edgar shot him and his wife but not before Kaye died due to her injuries sustained from the torture given to her by the parishioners when they abducted her earlier. That is the ending. Kaye dies. The person who where all of this started has died in the end whether you like it or not. I myself never gave a damn

    It is a controversial ending, just as the ending to the book. In the book, readers are left not knowing whether the characters survive the next day or what will happen in the future. Here in the movie, the audience is left unknowing if Melanie will survive the attack or what will happen to the Brenners. Many have been upset by such a cliffhanger as an ending, but other critics have praised the open ending. According the an article by The Guardian written by Xan Brooks, Hitchcock did not know how to tie up the ending and opted for an open ending leaving behind the mystery of it all.

    Count Charles’ Persuasion to Religious Governance In almost every Count that has ever been reigned in the middle ages, there is no leader like Count Charles, who takes a risky approach to governing a land with the idea of religion as an important aspect of his position. Count Charles, aka “Blessed Charles the Good” is well known for feeding the poor, promoting peace and security, but religion is definitely a big influence to his reign as the Count of Flanders. At first, before doing any research on Count Charles’ religious ruling, I would already believe that Charles is a spiritual nobleman that everyone would admire because of how devastated Flanders felt when they heard about his death in 1127. Fortunately, my thoughts on Count Charles

    What I learned from the reading of chapter 6 in the book They Say I Say was that an opposite point of view is always a good way to develop a longer conversation. Although I used to think that adding the perspective of a naysayer could make my writing to be less persuasive and could mislead the reader from my main idea, I realized that everybody has their own opinion and nobody would have the same thinking than I. Therefore, I was able to understand that in order to create a more interesting research paper for most reader, I would have to add other’s perspective to my writing that would make my claims to have more credibility and be more interesting even if a disagree with such claims. A perspective from a naysayer would apply very well to my

    When seeing this film it felt as though this was right on target genuine occasions with no misunderstandings, since this is the manner by which life really is outside of the cameras and television and creations. When watching this I 'd feel these characters were really i gangs whether they were young or not they had the correct role. Likewise making it all the more realistic was knowing how gangs function and go around from individual encounters in my own life, it gives a more inside and out visual from what I saw growing up through my childhood. I would now be able to state that I have a view from outside and I now know what definitely is going on behind the walls. This film had an effect on myself since I have been included and have an view of how individuals talk and act with each other and when they are with certain individuals.
