Walter Mitty Film Analysis

First person point of view used by McCarthy has ended up being a very successful way of telling the story. We see each individual aspect of the story through Grady 's perspective as we are able to understand by his emotion and decisions. The protagonist is also a very reliable character because the reader is never left out of any internal information of the story. McCarthy includes important themes that force the reader to analyze the story deeper. The critical theme of this novel is that sometimes we have to undergo the restrictions of brutality and injustice in life before life has meaning and purpose.

By calling himself an “old fart” also shows his self irony. Since he is an older man, he is aware of the differences that might distinguish himself from the youth. Therefore, it is significant that he uses his humor and self irony to make himself likable among the young audition. “Now, one useful thing you can do with an old person, in addition to borrowing money from them, or asking them to do one of their old-time “dances,” so you can watch while laughing, is ask: “looking back, what do you regret?”” (page 8, line 11) This quote also reveals Saunders method of catching the audience attention by

David tried to ignore the Tomkey children, but “it was impossible to separate him from his celebrity” (851) making David envious. The Tomkeys judged by not owning a television and spending quality time together, and with the vacancy every weekend, David “felt as if my favorite show had been canceled” (851). David is obsessing over the Tomkeys, but until he realizes how ridiculous his obsession is over television, he will never change

[F] After closely examining the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Moses Ma writes an article called “The Secret of Life by Walter Mitty”; Where he deciphers Walter’s changes of hope to achieve everything he ever hoped and dreamt to do. [G] In the start of the fourth paragraph, Ma writes, “The new story follows Mitty’s journey of awakening…”(Ma 1). [H] Mitty had something to awaken from in order to understand his true self during his journey to find the missing negative. [I] If Mitty had no motivation, or hope for that matter, then he wouldn’t have found the missing negative that affected him so harshly. [J] During the fifth paragraph, Ma explains the troubles that Mitty had to go through in order to find Shawn O’Connell and the missing negative.

In him, we see a man who has succumbed to fate or whatever unseen force which aids or destroys dreams that sustain life. Similar to a broken machine, he is left in a vacuum, stuck and unmoving, unable to find or fulfil his purpose. For Isabelle, her dreams are derived from her wonderland of books, dreams of adventure and startling secrets. Living a comparatively sheltered life, her interest is piqued when she meets the 12 year old Hugo with his many mysteries. It doesn’t take her long to secure a place in Hugo’s adventure and in the process fulfil her own dream.

If everyone can be a hero then why can’t this type of storytelling fit all films? I crossed the first threshold and dove into the supernatural world, which was the makeup of my time doing research to answer this unanswered question I generated for myself. I watched a film. I film I know and love and thought to myself there is no way this is possibly an example of Hero’s Journey. It turns out Sing Street, a film about young Irish schoolboys forming a band to escape bullying, fits right in like pieces connecting together to form a puzzle.

The director Tom Tykwer uses circular narrative in a very obvious way in one of his films know as Run Lola Run. The beginning of that film started with the climax and the storyline circulated itself until a problem the protagonist was facing is resolved. In the film Groundhog Day, a weather man lives a specific day until he learnt his lesson. Rashomon though, has a weird way of showing circular narrative it happens by 2 men storytelling and the story never really resolved any

Jason Brown skated to “Can’t Touch This.” Now in one stereotype it says that men don’t show emotion. Really, just watch the video. See if that changes you opinion! Anyway, he smiled and did really cool things with his feet and hands in some footwork and still landed amazing jumps and spins. Both videos show these skaters defying their stereotypes.

His amusingness was used throughout, which helped build the distinctively exhilarating way of telling story. The descriptive words have played an important role in creating the enjoyment of the essay. For example, the character simply had to emphasize a milky blurriness was all he saw through the microscope, he instead mentioned “the familiar lacteal opacity”. Sometimes, even prevalent phrases in daily life were used but with a lot of fun in it, such as “I could take it, but I couldn’t dish it out”, which concerned his propensity for running into things in the gymnasium. That explains for the success of Thunder’s writing style; he depicted each circumstance transparently and also provided examples along with it.

I believe that it also touched others feelings as well. The actors are very great and impressive. The execution of the story is well presented from the beginning to the plot, up to the climax to the ending. Another great thing about "Awakenings," is that it truly teaches us to appreciate the simple things in life that we take for granted, from taking a walk by yourself or reading a book or even just brushing your teeth. We enjoyed watching it though it made us shed into tears.
