Verbal Communication In Goodfellas

All his life Tommy has wanted to be a cowboy, but he doesn't always act like one. He bullies many people at school while his family is cruel to him at home. The only person he feels he can trust is his sister, Mary Lou, until she gets horribly burned at is forced to stay at the hospital to recover.

The characterization in the film Goodfellas by director Martin Scorsese is based on a true story of the Italian mafia, and the commonality the director Baz Luhrmann’s film The Great Gatsby (20013) share is an organized crime theme. Both film directors express the unique composition of mise-en-scène. The sets, costumes in the films are realistic to each time period in which they are set. The films elements of mise-en-scene influence the viewer’s a psychological sentiment in relation with the film.

“Those were not welcome days. We buried sons, brothers, mothers, fathers, fiancés…What once was whole, now was shattered” (McGinty, 2006). We Are Marshall is a film based on the true story of a deadly plane crash in 1970 that killed seventy-five football players, coaches, and fans of Marshall University (McGinty, 2006). Furthermore, the story follows how a new coach is able to rebuild a football team, as well as a community stricken with grief. The characters in this movie exhibit various interpersonal communication concepts, such as self-concept, convergence, divergence, debilitative, and facilitative emotions, and portray these concepts through their thoughts and actions.

What Scorsese did differently was that he made male protagonists vulnerable again, just like they were in the old mobster movie days, but in a bit more realistic way

The film Good Will Hunting, exhibits many concepts of interpersonal communication through the different characters who are in the film. Emotions and conflict are the common concepts to be represented. Both run emotions and conflict run high in the film and are visible in multiple ways. The main character Will Hunting is a complex character due to his past and capabilities of his mind. His emotions and his conflicts affect one another. Because of Will Hunting’s difficult upbringing, the way he communicates his emotions in his relationships are detrimental for himself and others, and conflict arises in his relationships due to his inability to express his emotions well.

In addition to being one of the most entertaining shows to binge in the background of daily life, The Office is considered to be one of the more quotable comedies the 2000s brought us. The show’s compilation of lovable and often stereotypical characters provided us with nine seasons worth of memorable tomfoolery, character development, and one-liners. But for the purpose of this paper we will be looking beyond the plethora of “Worlds Best Boss” mugs and “That’s what she said” jokes, and taking a cold, analytical look at The Office to determine what the show offers in regard to interpersonal communication.

Interpersonal communication is the exchange of information between two or more people. The movie, Crash, is set in Los Angeles featuring characters from widely diverse cultural backgrounds. The movie focused on the characters having views that differed from those around them. Most of the characters seem to struggle with being other-oriented and lacking effective communication to get a point across. Anthony, an African-American, is a carjacker that robs Jean and Rick Cabot (district attorney).

The film Good Will Hunting follows the story of a janitor, Will Hunting, working at MIT with a secret gift for advanced mathematics. After being arrested during a street fight, Will is given an ultimatum; either go serve time in prison, or work under the tutelage of Professor Gerald Lambeau, who discovered his talent for proofs. Begrudgingly, Will decides to work with Lambeau, but pushes back constantly against the professor’s attempts to help him. The film is an excellent example of interpersonal communications and the concepts within it, as well as when those concepts fail.

There are major milestones that all people endure, such as the birth of a child, starting a career, or the death of a loved one. All of these milestones, no matter how insignificant they may seem to some, undoubtedly have a profound effect on the recipient. Truthfully, no one can successfully progress through life without enduring hardships or unfortunate circumstances. The success of the people who undergo serious life changes is dependent upon how well they choose to handle their happenings. “Choices”, written by Nikki Giovanni, stresses the importance of attempting to deal with one’s circumstances in a positive way, especially the circumstances that may be viewed as unfair or unfortunate.

Also, in many scenes the protagonist used non verbal messages such as writing HELP on the beach and creation fires to signal ships and boats. This showcases that interpersonal communication can be both verbal and non-verbal in

At the start, Bonasera is seen weeping as he recounts the story of the harm done to his daughter by the men who took advantage of her. He is frustrated and angry, as the American court system he had come to rely upon completely failed him. The men committed horrendous acts against his daughter and yet were able to walk free, which shocked him. It was because of his trust in the court system that Bonasera had not gone to the Godfather in the past for help or assistance – Bonasera wanted to live a ‘normal’ American life free of crime and risk to his family. Therefore, Bonasera’s actions and feelings demonstrated the persuasion tactic of creating a need, which is the type of persuasion that is related to a fundamental desire for love, shelter,

Flying on an airplane over the clouds, the sky would look sunny, while down below, there could be a heavy storm present. The cloud covers the passenger's’ view of the ground, but if the plane would just fly through the clouds, passengers would see that it wasn’t sunny at all. In life, a person's point of view can differ like that depending on perspective. This is how the events in The Outsiders can be seen differently. The Outsiders, a book written by S.E. Hinton, is a story about the life between two social groups, the Socs and the Greasers and how they interact with one another. This book showed the theme that opinions on people can change, especially if people look at others from a different point of view.

"They call this the Vegas Strip. It's actually located in a census-designated area called Paradise. Most tourists don’t know that. They think they're going to Vegas, when, technically, they're in Paradise. Paradise is processed cheese. You want a roller coaster, and a fake Eiffel Tower, and a bunch of people from St. Louis clappin' for a computerized fountain? Yay! Robot fountain. No, you want the real Las Vegas, where the locals go," states Octavia Spencer in the movie Paradise providing a factual statement to the un-local passenger in her car. Paradise is a movie starring Octavia Spencer, Russell Brand and Julianne Hough.

Loray and William hear Lamb's story and take her out to show her Las Vegas,

In our society today, every individual’s ideas can be exchanged in various creative forms. The short film medium, being a form of social commentary, is a pertinent driving force behind shifts in personal values. Thus short films as a textual form have great value and impact to society due to their versatile delivery. Steve Cutts’ Happiness (2017) is a satirical film whose fast-paced nature prioritises meaning over matter to critique the constant pursuit of happiness in misplaced interests. Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv’s Strangers (2003) depicts a singular scenario and builds tension to convey the overcoming of entrenched racial divides. It is through the versatile and therefore valuable medium of short films that a wide variety of continually relevant issues are explored and interrogated, greatly impacting on society.

In everyday life, communication is constantly and subconsciously used. The importance of human connection in life is often overlooked. Interpersonal communication is a dynamic form of communication between two (or more) people in which the messages exchanged significantly influence their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships (pg. 11 text book). The Film “The Break-Up” is focused on two main characters: Gary and Brooke. A variety of interpersonal communications are present throughout this movie.
