Elia Kazan’s ‘On the Waterfront’, is a story of Terry Malloy’s ultimate journey of fulfilling his dreams on becoming a contender and becoming a man from a ‘bum’. Two of the most influential people, Father Barry and Edie Doyle constantly remind Terry to listen to his conscience. ‘On the Waterfront’ takes the audience on a journey through terry’s life, which gives them an insight into his life and dilemmas which he faces along the way. Terry’s redemption took time and was aided by the support of others. When Johnny Friendly’s gang murders his brother Charlie, Terry realizes the union corruption makes the decision to go against the union and make them pay, now that he’s felt the pain personally.
As the film progresses viewers gradually uncover and understand the complex nature of their relationship. Initially, Charlie is portrayed as the older sibling who protects his ‘kid brother’ from Johnny Friendly. This is clearly observed in the opening bar scene after Joey Doyle’s murder. When Terry shows signs of weakness and hesitation about the nights proceeds in front of Johnny, Charlie artfully places a hand on Terry’s wrist a subtle signal to be quite - a sign he is ‘looking out’ for Terry. Similarly, Terry displays a deep loyalty throughout the entire film, by refusing to ‘rat’ on Johnny despite his guilty conscience simply because he does not want to ‘put the finger on [his] own brother’.
As a result, the greasers had always tried to protect Johnny. Still, the greasers needed Johnny in return, for protecting him gives them a sense of purpose and justified their violent measures. Throughout the novel, this timid sixteen-year old, Johnny, is the principal catalyst for the major events in the novel, for he had the moral courage to stand up for what was right. As a result of his beating from the Socs, Johnny was constantly nervous, but had the bravery to speak up when he believed things needed changing/ were wrong. For example, at the drive-in, Johnny managed to raise his voice to Dally—which had been Johnny’s most helpful “stand over” man as well as idol—telling him to stop harassing the two girls, Cherry and Marcia.
It was a good start for him until he made a rookie mistake and left his knee wide open for Frank to take advantage and put him in a kneebar and make him submit. Dana White knew that Brock had potential and that he could do well. His next fight was against Randy Couture a well known experienced fighter. Lesnar bloodied him up until the referee stopped the fight. This was a great win under his belt because of the fact that he was the heavyweight champion now.
Terry’s transformation throughout the film is stemmed from his moral awakening due to the betrayal he feels from Johnny Friendly and his “henchmen”. Initially, he is determined to disregard his conscience yet as a result of the guilt & restlessness he feels in regards to his role in Joey’s murder, his conscience becomes distinguished. His guilt over the murder is juxtaposed against the carelessness of the mobsters who joke that Joey could “sing but he couldn’t fly”, it is here that the Kazan separates Terry from the mob as he conveys him as a vulnerable & sensitive character as his conscience begins to overpower his ‘tough guy’ act. Kazan’s use of mist and fog relentlessly suppressing Terry Mallow highlights the ambiguity in Terry’s conscience, which reflects he is only just beginning to initiate recognition to his morals
Frank and his father have an unusual yet understanding relationship. Frank doesn’t react to his father’s irresponsibility as strongly as the majority of us would. Though Malachy drinks the money and dole away, Frank did not once directly blame his father for anything. Malachy’s drinking events -coming home drunk and pulling the boys out of bed singing and yelling- was a reoccurring theme in the book, but Frank points out the good memories he had with his father (the telling of Irish heroes and stories) in almost a way that overcomes his other unhappy memories of his
He reminds me of the famous comedian, Chris Rock as he tries to tell Cain not to worry, because once he gets the book deal, they’ll move to a better neighborhood. But every time Cain has to go to the center for rehab, Andrew is not always there to go with him. Compared to what his little brother wears, Andrew is spiffier; he richly clads in black shoes, a white long sleeve shirt with black dress pants. Angela Rodriguez has also done a great job with the make-up. The best actor is Andrew Dillemuth, who plays the younger brother.
This is discovered when the patriarch, Julian Hayden, says to his son Wesley “Ever since the war…Ever since Frank came home in a uniform and you stayed home, you’ve been jealous” (118). This favoritism shows what little respect Julian holds for his younger son that stems from Franks dominance between the Hayden siblings. Wes is constantly put down because of his brother’s achievements; these situations can either make or break Wesley. In all families, there is a member who thrives on ‘power trips’, and in this specific situation, it was Julian, “He wanted, he needed, power…he was a dominating man who drew sustenance and strength from controlling others” (20). Julian acquires his power through putting others down, especially Wes; this causes Wesley to have a lot of animosity towards his father.
Actor Rob Lowe set up boxing matches with Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez in the hallway outside their hotel rooms while the trio was making 1983's The Outsiders - so they could let off steam after tense days on set. Lowe reveals he'd pick fights with his pals and turn up on set with fresh bruises and cuts - but there was one co-star they'd never invite to join in the rough play. He says, "It was pretty much Emilio (Estevez), me, Tom (Cruise)... You didn't wanna mess with (Patrick) Swayze; he was too gnarly. "Tom and I really fought a lot; he was one of those guys that was Ok until you really hit him hard. If you got in a hard shot at Tom you were likely to get killed."
