Hollywood's example of the lack of father son/daughter relationships.

As we have seen in the past few movies we have watched, a father son (or father daughter) relationship/situation has been quite re-occurring. The movies with this topic have been Trouble With the Curve, Field of Dreams, and Catch Me if You Can. They all portray a great example of father son/daughter relationships, or that there lack of. However there’s one in specific that I can relate to or understand more than the others. That one is Trouble With the Curve. I say this for many reasons. These reasons start with the respect factor, or that there lack of. Unfortunately, Hollywood tries to explain what it is like having an absence of a father figure and they don’t do the best job at it, but hey they try. My situation is a little different than the one in Trouble With the Curve, but it is the one that I can relate to the most. Growing up I never really had much of a relationship with my dad and it wasn’t because he was a bad guy or anything or like he sent me away to live with someone else or to go to a boarding school, it was just because he was always working and rarely home. In Trouble With the Curve, there isn’t much respect between the father and the daughter, but instead there is distance and misunderstanding. In my case there was just no relationship at all. In the movie, when the two main characters conversed, they couldn’t seem to get along. My dad and I can get along but only for short periods of time before we’re screaming our heads off at each other. Anyways, my overall situation is a lot like the one the movie because no matter what, the father and the daughter can’t seem to get along.   

2015 apparently isn’t as we expected it should be from so many years ago. We have improved technologically but not as expected. We have faster cars, but not flying cars, improved computers but not holographic 3D sharks and most of all, we have Nike airs but not self tightening laces. In Back to the Future part 2 there are many very outdated futuristic features, the clothing was quite, well odd. In all varying aspects of the future, I think that the future has been designed to have flying cars. However, fortunately or unfortunately, the future will most likely not have flying cars. I say this for many reasons and these reasons include the fact that people would have to get their own personal flying lessons and pilot licenses and another reason is that insurance costs would go way up. However the whole hoverboard idea seemed pretty cool and to be honest, I would definitely get one. With comparing these two 2015s, they both have a lot in common and a lot of differences.  As Back to the Future part 2 shows a good example of what we wished 2015 would be, I think that advancing at our pace is just fine. Along with me comparing and contrasting both 2015s, from in the movie to in real life, I must remember that I have to type three hundred words which I am trying my best to do so please bare with me Mr. Bowser. I must say, we have invented flying cars, but they are not meant for ordinary people and one must have a flying license to operate. Anyways, I think I am close enough to three hundred words so that is my comparison between the two 2015s.   

Modern Film Noir

                Yes both films were modern film noir. I say this because they both follow the classical form of modern film noir. Modern film noir is any form of a classic gangster film with all the action. Both The Road to Perdition and The Godfather are great examples of modern film noir. They both have a lot of action scenes. Along with action and great gunmanship, there is skill. I will be honest so therefore this blog will be quite short. I fell asleep during The Godfather. I feel really greatly bad about this. However, I did not fall asleep during The Road to Perdition and I personally thought that it was a great movie.

                In The Road to Perdition, the main character, Michael Junior, witnesses a murder and by his father and his father finds out. This event happened after Michael gets curious about his father’s job. So late that night, he sneaks out of his house, climbs into the family car, and hides under the back seat. Just then, his dad climbs into the driver’s seat and drives off not knowing that his son is in the back seat. The father then later arrives to his destination, gets out of the car, and proceeds with his plans of getting information on something that I didn’t pay attention to. In the mean time, the son climbs out of the car and watches his father do his business. But they’re not done yet. The father shoots the man that was being questioned and the son witnesses it. The father soon after finds the son shoked to see what his dad does for a living. Overall, a lot of people get killed a lot of banks get robbed and the son is in on all of it. In the end the father gets shot and killed, the son finds a home and Michael lives happily ever after the end.
