Mark Whitacre Vs. Baldwin In The Movie 'Informant'

370 Words2 Pages

After watching the movie “Informant”, I decided to learn more about the true story. So I researched and I found the interview Mark Whitacre conducted with Taylor Baldwin in 2013. Then, I discovered the real Mark Whitacre, opposed to his impersonate character Matt Damon played in the movie. Indeed, I am not a mental heal specialist, but after listening to him explaining his side of the story, I concluded that Mark Whitacre behavior was odd as typical whistleblowers due to his mental health condition (Baldwin, 2013). Furthermore, I have also, personally, been in the past a subordinate of an individual suffering a bipolar disorder and I definitively understand how difficult the cooperation could be when a bipolar mood shifts. In addition to

  • James Baldwin And Racism Analysis

    . The first quote by James Baldwin, I believe is talking about how the concept of racism fills many books and is constantly being debated or reflected on by different people everywhere. What Baldwin is trying to point out to the reader, is that this questioning of color is used to cover up who people really are deep down. I think he’s hinting at the idea that racism is used to cover up certain insecurities or fears people may have hidden inside of them. The second quote by Trey Ellis, goes down the list and displays all the different degrading names dark-skinned people have been called throughout history.

  • Critical Assignment

    This resilience has been shown to help managers to enable their staff to withstand the changing needs of the healthcare system. However, this is not something that can be taught, and is not a trait but more of a state of mind including being realistic, in the moment, aware and prepared (Countu, 2002). One main criticism of this observation is that we will have no way of knowing whether the staff were acting as they usually would or whether they were acting differently as they were aware they were being observed, as this has been shown to change the nature of a person’s behaviour and is more commonly referred to as the “Hawthore Effect” (Campbell, Maxey and Watson, 1995). Another key issue is that again these views are subjective and emotion/demeaner are not always universally interpreted.

Before moving into the content of this paper I would like to disclose this movie contains a false and melodramatic portrayal of mental illness, this is not an accurate representation of the field. The movie begins with Federal Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner traveling to a secluded island containing a mental facility for the criminally insane. They are supposedly there to investigate a missing patient, however, throughout the movie we see clips with signs and symptoms that point to Teddy’s own diagnosis of a mental disorder. That maybe Teddy isn’t exactly on the island for an investigation but has his own hidden secrets to uncover.
