Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre shows it's audience what kind of creepy people can be found in our world and how the youth of our country often ignores the obvious signs of danger in order to do what THEY see as "the right thing to do." The new version of the film takes all of the main events and characters from the original version and twists them in a way to make it easier for the present day audience to relate to the plot. In both of these movies the general plot is the same, an innocent group of friends fall victim to a psychotic family of killers, however each movie has a very unique set of characters and side plots that help the directors strike a sense of fear and reality into their viewers.

    Slaughter house 5

    Post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, is an affliction from which many war veterans suffer while trying to maintain their normal daily lives. Although anyone can get post-traumatic stress disorder, it is most common among war veterans because of the extremely distressing and gruesome events that they endure while serving active duty in wartime. In the novel Slaughterhouse Five, the author, Kurt Vonnegut, depicts the main character Billy Pilgrim with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after fighting in World War II. Although he is never officially diagnosed, it seems impossible to deny that Billy suffers from PTSD. The foremost theme of the novel is the immense impact that war has on its participants and the lingering effects of that experience after they return from combat. A shockingly large number of soldiers suffer from PTSD after serving their country in a war time capacity. The Department of Veterans Affairs' National Center for PTSD estimates that 1 in 20 of the nation's 2.5 million surviving World War II vets suffers from the disorder. Some of the symptoms experienced from post-traumatic stress disorder include troubling thoughts, flashback episodes, dreams, vivid illusions, hallucinations and disturbing recollections.…

    Slaughterhouse 5

    I killed two people with this gun. One American boy, age 14 in 8th grade living a good life in the state of Mississippi. One African American, age 13, also living in Mississippi. The American was a big sports fan, loving to wrestle and run track. The African American liked sports as well, lacrosse and basketball. At this point pretty much anyone that lives in Jackson, Mississippi knows these facts. If you don’t, I guess social media isn’t your thing. While the names and backgrounds of these two children are well known, who knows the names of at least 50 people out of the thousands that perished in the raid of Dresden? While I see it wrong to compare deaths and say which was a greater death, I can say that the Dresden bombing had a greater global impact than this murder event. So why is it that people can spit out facts about the “less significant” two murdered people but can’t even say the names of some of the people that lost their lives in the greatest bombing event in WWII?…

    The movie Good Will Hunting exploits many points of psychology in the character Will Hunting, a janitor at MIT who has a knack for math. Some of the points of psychology include how a character develops after a lot of child abuse during his childhood.

It also exploits the idea that Will Hunting has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Because of the post-traumatic stress disorder it seems that Will is unable to function normally in society, and because of this, carefully plans out his future as to not have to worry about encountering many people.…

    1) Will hunting was an orphan. As a child he was moved from foster house to foster house and during this time he didn’t receive proper moral development. He was alone and probably acted out by breaking things, hurting other kids and talking back but this got him punished. In the movie he explains that he would get abused by his foster parents, he would get cigarette buds put out on his skin and probably got a lot of verbal abuse. This could’ve resulted in his relationship issues and his need to feel cared for. Sean outlined Wills problem by coming to the conclusion that the reason he hangs out with the friends he does is because they care for him and they have his back. As a child he felt like he didn’t have that therefore he’s filling the need now. He broke up with his girlfriend that loved him very much because of the traumatic events that have happened in his childhood. As a child being moved from house to house not having one family messes up their intellectual development. As soon as he felt comfortable in his home and felt that he was happy in this new home he was pulled away and brought into an entire new atmosphere. This caused Will to push people away after time to avoid them leaving him and leaving him hurt. He leaves before they can, hence why he left Skylar.…

    Texas Chainsaw 3d Review

    • 1259 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Movie director John Luessenhop completely missed the memo when it came to the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Originally going into a scary movie you would expect loud screams, gory scenery, and an ‘at the edge of your seat’ feeling but this one is not like that. The new sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre has nothing to offer in comparison to the original work done by Tobe Hooper. John Luessenhop’s adaptations failed from the original. The word ‘massacre’ was even removed from the title. Texas Chainsaw 3D starts off where the original movie ended. They begin by showing how much hatred the towns people had for the Sawyer family and their cannibalistic (leatherface) family member. Concluding their rage the towns’ people burned the Sawyer home with all of them in it. It was believed that the disasters had stopped and they were all heroes until the main character, Heather, came long. To her surprise and those of the towns’ people she was a long lost Sawyer. John Luessenhop thought he would remake this movie to be compared if not better than the original but the three dimensional effects, thrills, and suspense made this movie a waste of $15.00 for all of those who watched it in theaters.…
