Suburb New Canaan Analysis

295 Words2 Pages

We are in the suburb New Canaan north of New York, where we find the pretty environment, the educated people and a hidden emptiness. Here we find the nuclear family, with mom, dad, most likely 2 beautiful kids and the traditional pattern, with mom at home and with dad commuting to his job in the city.
The interactions between the characters in the film are somehow rebellious - the parents cheat and the kids are exploring way unacceptable limits. This reflects the similarity and the empty room in the suburbs and the traditional patterns. They seek the thrill and the forbidden in the suburban environment, to get a rush in their boring every day life. Also the kids seek the forbidden, due to the missing attention and arrangement from their parents.

    With the help of their surviving children, the chirpy Ariel and the watchful, reserved Christy, they manage to charm their way past a suspicious immigration agent, who decides to believe that they are carefree vacationers rather than desperate migrants ( A.O. Scott). The family drive with wide-eyed wonder and awe, through the glistening lights in Times Square and arrive to a cavernous, battered walk-up apartment that is quickly spruced up with colourful paint and scavenged furniture. There is such a contrast to the idyllic images in The Quiet Man where we see Sean Thornton sat on a bridge admiring the gorgeous view of his native homeland as against the rough streets of New York.

    The plot of the film primarily follows the basic plot structure of fiction – exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution - depending on the two primary conflicts that revolve around the lead character Gil. From the beginning part of the movie, for the exposition of the plot, Gil’s dissatisfaction of his present life as a famous movie writer in Hollywood and his nostalgic feeling of Paris in the 1920s are clearly revealed. In the first scene of the film, while praising the beauty of the city Paris, Gil says that “If I had stayed here and written novels and not gotten into grinding out movie scripts, I would drop the house in Beverly Hills, the pools, everything in a second.” Gil’s quote in the first scene of the movie effectively shows his unhappy attitude to his present life as a movie writer.

    On a normal scale, measuring the association between two subjects, one would assume gentrification and school segregation are not related in any sense. In fact, most would argue that school segregation ended in 1954 with the Brown v. Board of Education. This assumption would be incorrect. Deep within the American society lies a new kind of segregation that is neither talked about nor dealt with. Segregation is a result of gentrification—the buying and renovation of houses in deteriorated neighborhoods by upper-income families or individuals—thus, improving property values but often displacing low-income families.
