Reaction to The Lobotomist Peter E. Doria Gateway Community College The television program The American Experience on PBS ran a section on a man named Walter J. Freeman; a doctor who was the best known for mainstreaming a controversial surgical procedure called a lobotomy. The surgical procedure was used to treat mental illness by severing the frontal lobes of the brain. It was believed mental illness was caused by physical defects in the brain (Goodman, 2008).

For almost 25 years his ‘Donkey Kong’ world record remained unbeaten, until a humble teacher and family man called Steve Wiebe presented himself as a worthy challenger. The documentary follows Steve’s attempts to break the record, opening up questions of corruption in the gaming community. ‘The King of Kong’ could easily be believed as fiction, and is structured closely on a classical Hollywood narrative. Seth Gordon uses this familiar format to engage a wide audience into a niche subject matter. However by doing this, does the documentary lose authenticity?
The best actor is Andrew Dillemuth, who plays the younger brother. His looks describe the part he plays—Andrew’s younger brother. Though his performance is very emotional, he does an amazing job in one scene: the part that he tells his brother his dreams and the reason why their mother left them. The dream however, became a reality because Cain’s death is the same as he dreamed it: getting into an argument with his big brother and Andrew mistakenly stabbing Cain with a knife. While explaining the dream, Cain cries almost throughout the scene, he is the best of all in this play.

The Released Life after prison is extremely difficult for the mentally ill. The PBS publication The Released documents how people who suffer from mental illnesses such as schizophrenia have a tremendously hard and often unsuccessful time with managing life after being released from prison.

Interpersonal Conflict in Film COM 200 Instructor Al Wilfong June 27, 2011 Interpersonal Conflict in Film I watched this movie called Hitch. It was a great movie. I laughed and I cried.

Each serves its purpose well; the steel frame buildings just do so with more flair. I like to think that only a good movie would still be watched after fifty-three years. But, everything good about the book is missing or distorted (plot, characters, details). The plot is too convoluted to make a movie. But the movie of The Big Sleep is still a success and, well, a good movie, just because they changed the plot and the characters.
The movie was nominated for many awards proving how great it was. Djengo unchained would be a great movie in addition to these was because like Crash it showed how bad racism was, even though it was during a completely different time period.
