    By prioritizing the school's image and mitigating potential damage, this course of action serves the greater good by safeguarding the institution's interests without further harm to the girl involved.

    What would happen if you the only emotion you felt was pleasant? What if there was nothing else but pleasantness? This is what the movie Pleasantville tries to present to the viewer. Pleasantville is based off the very old story adam and eve. Adam and Eve, is basically the story of how humans became who they are today. Pleasantville takes certain ideals from adam and eve and brings them to the present, through a story about two teens sucked into an old tv show. Although gary yoss (director of pleasantville) reuses the idea of knowledge and paradise from the story of adam and eve, the transformation of whether knowledge is a good or bad thing and the idea that paradise is not what it seems ultimately leads to an idea of individuality that is justified.…

You can’t stop living.” This quote shows that Perry feels that he has no control over his life and thus he has a conflict with himself.…

The writers choose to uncover the dark secrets of the McCandless family and to reveal the truth as to why Chris travelled into the Alaskan wilderness. The documentary adopts an intense tone in the beginning that shifts to a more light hearted attitude throughout the second half of the film using symbolism, cinematography, audio, and various interviews in order to explain to the viewers the grim childhood McCandless experienced and events that led him into the barren wilderness of Alaska.…

    The plot of this movie can be very well defined as a romantic quest for what is right and just in the world at that time. The film starts off in the early 12th century with a blacksmith called Balian of Ibelin (who is actually an artificier, or military engineer) that has just lost his wife to suicide and is given the chance to go to the Holy Land to seek forgiveness for her sin by his long lost father Godfrey of Ibelin. This becomes his secondary goal upon arriving in Jerusalem because soon after the start of their journey, Balian's father dies and passes on his legacy to Balian making him the new Baron of Ibelin. With the title comes the duty of defending Jerusalem in the name of the king and at the same time being the best knight he can be. He battles not only the Islamic leader Saladin, but also those in the same court (Guy of Lusignan and Reynald of Chatillon), as well as himself while trying to hold on to a secret love the whole time; the love of Princess Sibylla.…
