The power of movies to influence our thinking is vast. Sometimes we don't even realize how our perceptions of the world are shaped by what we see in the media. Below, I'd like you to write about how movies influence our thinking and (mis)represent these ideas. Ask yourself; what do movies teach us about these topics? How do we approach our life because of how movies speak to these subjects? For each topic, please list 3 movies that support your assertions.
Romance and Love:
We're told that you either have a happy ending or you don't. I'll be realistic. No one has that fairy tale ending. Maybe thats more pessimism but in general its not real. Human beings change their minds like theres nothing to it. One moment they're in love, the next they're in love...with another person. Its absolutely ridiculous. Types of movies that show this theme is; He's just not that into you, How to lose a guy in 10 days, Definitely, Maybe.
Gender Roles:
Movies either tell us that men or woman are the more dominant species. Usually gender roles played in movies come from what we've experienced in history already. For example, how women stay home and cook and men go make the money. Movies that form around this subject; Million Dollar Baby, Wanted, Terminator 3
Conflict Resolution:
