MOVIE  ANALYSIS

Characterization –

• In what ways is Sam more insightful than other characters in the movie? How is this evident to the viewer?

For the viewer is very easy to identify Sam mental problems, by seeing carefully the way he talk, the way he move and also we can see he is more insightful than the other by his thoughts and how he express himself.

• How does Rita’s life parallel Sam’s life? If her life parallels Sam’s, does this make her a dual protagonist?

Yes Rita’s life is parallel to Sam because she is also having problems, while Lucy is being taken. So she is also protagonist towards the thoughts they share. They come out with different types of problems and share ideas.

• How do Sam and Rita change?

When Sam needs the help of a lawyer to win the case, and that when Rita enter considering she do not only help him, but learn great values with him

Also Sam helps Rita to figure out the value that a good family life can have for both a parent and a child.

Premises --• A premise, much like a summary, explains what a movie is about. Write the

premise for this movie in one to two sentences.

Sam, a mentally retarded man whose life is in constant challenge. He has a daughter named Lucy that the authorities want take her away but he fights with Rita the lawyer to get Lucy.

• Create a collage using images to convey a mood or a theme. Present your mood or theme and your image choices to the class.

• Throughout the movie, the viewer becomes privy to only a slight amount of information about Annie, Sam, or Lucy’s mother. Plan and write a background story for Sam, Lucy’s mother, or Annie. What happened to them when they were younger to make them react as they did in the

movie? Submit the story in writing or create a film of one to three scenes with a group of classmates explaining the background story for these characters.

Sam parents were very rich, but suddenly they both died on a car accident, leaving Sam alone with all the fortune of the Family. So a poor women took advantage of Sam having a baby (Lucy), considering Lucy’s mom would get some money of Sam. But after Lucy was born, the best friend of Sam tells him the truth about Lucy mom and he decided to leave her staying alone with Lucy.

Symbolism—

Throughout the movie, notice the predominant use of color. There are scenes full of blue, of yellow, and of red. In art, these are known as primary colors. What do these primary colorssymbolize throughout the course of the movie? Which color is Sam? (If Sam is different and you read a book about accepting differences and learning to try something new, which color is Sam? Think of his work place aprons and how they also change color.)Colors have special meaning, they could express feelings, or it could be values. In the movie I am Sam the colors are helping the production to demonstrate how a autism guy represented the things with colors. I think Sam is blue because it represented the sky, considering it representing many feeling like peace and freedom. Sadness and sesperation, are shown in the drawing by the color red Lucy do.Does  Sam  has  Autism  or  Aspergers  ?I  think  Sam  has  autism  because  he    has  difficulty with social imagination, and social interaction. He is lenguaje is very brief and in the court someone quote that he was austims.

Re#lective  Journals:

1.  

What  I  felt  when  I  research  about  Autism  and  Asperger’s?

When  I  investigate  about  these  two  diseases,  I  realize  that  I  am  a  very  fortune  guy  that  can  express  my  feelings  very  easy.  Also  having  social  interaction  for  me  is  very  effective  because  I  understand  my  friends  and  family  the  same  as  I  do.  

         After  knowing  the  conKlicts  of  autisms  and  Asperger’s  make  a  person  who  value  the  life  in  every  single  moment.  While  researching  I  saw  several  videos  that  make  me  think  about  my  life,  I  realize  that  I  have  the  capacity  to  be  free  I  mean  to  do  whatever  I  want.    I  am  very  thankful  of  having  the  opportunity  to  help  others.  

         I  learn  to  respect  the  capacity  of  other,  it  could  be  because  they  are  sick  or  others  reason.  Help  other  in  my  personal  opinion  makes  you  richer,  not  with  money  but  with  values.

2.

What  I  learned  while  crea/ng  the  cards  for  they  system  and  for  my  system:

Elabora/ng  the  cards  for  the  system  made  me  think  that  life  is  not  easy,  because  when  I  wrote  the  cards  I  saw  the  importance  of  integrity  to  be  accepted  in  the  society.

My  mission  while  doing  my  own  system  was  to  be  a  facilitator  of  the  person  that  lives  with  au/sm  with  good  life  opportuni/es  and  choice  for  them  to  live  and  enrichment  life.

I  was  based  in  the  value  independence,  because  while  having  this  profile  half  of  the  problems  of  Au/sms  and  Asperger’s  could  be  solve.    Designing  the  system  was  not  very  easy  because  I  had  think  about  the  context  and  background  of  this  people.

AEer  doing  this  ac/vity  I  set  a  personal  goal,  that  was  to  implement  the  rights  of  people  with  Au/sm  and  Asperger’s  considering  the  charring  for  them.

3.

Christopher manage their conflicts in a different way, he solves his problems very calmly, and he does not have someone that advise him or tell him what to do in that kind of situations, Christopher show us that it is very important to solve problems independently because that shows who we are considering he has skill problems like social interaction and communication. Being patient is a good attitude but at the same time is very important like Christopher to resolve the problem in the moment. Having the necessary patient could make you resolving the problems with more efficient decision making, because doing it rapidly would take maybe to a wrong solution. Christopher is responsible of his acts, answering to any adversity by himself. I learned a lot by the way Christopher managed his conflicts also I identify a lot with Christopher knowing that i solve the problem in the moment don’t letting it go a second, even though i always try to overcome myself.

4.

A person's sense of style includes your interests, opinions, attitude, and personality.In society is very effective to have your own style of communication because people can recognize you easily. When you fight to control and resolve the conflict fast, the probability is better to conclude and resolve. After all is very satisfying to know that you came out with the solution. People may know your unique style by the way you write, speak and express yourself, so it is necessary to make it in the most effective way, through that people could have a good relationship with you.

Also the way you dress can me you different from other persons, feeling yourself more confortable and showing society who you really are. The importance of this come towards how you identify yourself in society this mean show you really are and how society makes the perception of you.

MOVIE POSTER

LETTER FROM SIOBHAN

Dear Bob,

Due to the fact that I haven’t talked to you in like years, I decided to drop to you a line. I want to talk to you about something. Excuse my French, but I swear this is the best thing I have done since high school. It is be the biggest change in my life. I mean besides me going to live to other city.

I feel link I am the new kid in the block. Really this was something I hadn’t have planned or contemplated. But soon enough I learned how to start a new life. I just didn’t rub someone up the wrong way, like I did every day back then. It really did hit me in the face. It was a tough choice for me but I had to do it.

Well likewise, I was telling you the best change in my whole life. I started to give support to a kid who has trouble in some things. He is a disabled boy who has a mental capacity so big, but he has somehow similar to autism. When I first met him I thought I had beat a dead horse. It really was an elbow grease for me at first.

One time the kid, who by the way his name is Christopher. He was under the weather. He felt really bad; he didn’t even prick up his ears to listen to me. Therefore, I had to make him want to take my class. Otherwise, he would not get the class, and it is a waste of time. Meanwhile I was teaching him to speak and get closer to society. Other people had their kids with problems locked at home. Some of them even spin a yard that they have a kid who is different that the others. As a result of the kids who are left abandoned by their

parents, the world is a place full of silly people. Then they have to lose their top a little bit.

Since we haven’t seen each other, you should come for a visit. You will love it here. It is a great place for tourism and we have great beaches. Additionally you will really love watching me with my new job. I really think you should be proud of me. I have changed for good; you should come to visit me.

See you soon, Siobhan

How  can  I  Help  a  kid  like  Christopher  #itting  to  society?How  can  I  help  him  to  developed  his  language  in  such  a  way  that  other  people  may  

understand  what  he  tries  to  express?

Fitting society is not very easy, and without any help a kid like Christopher it is impossible to feat in with the only reason that the main problem of Autism is dealing with social interaction.To help Christopher I would personally try to teach him how to enter society by his talents so he could have an interest, these interest can be develop into a very successful career. It could share their thoughts and feelings towards art, sports or music.

The problem is that autistic children’s prefer being alone, because they never experience that before. So to develop the language they have to break their own social rules and follow what makes them happy.Social life is a time of expressing and hearing other people opinions , so we have to be very patient to show them how to express, but is very important to know the person very well to see how you can teach him.

Another way Christopher can fit in society is by a good person that has a very special space in society so he can easily enter to a group when he can feel free and happy being accepted. We are too many people in the world to be alone, people could get alone each other in different societies. People with autism problems can fit society, but they need the indicated guy or partner to help them to enter . When they do something enjoyable , these persons learn a lot. So my opinion is shared with the specialist of the Autisms Association considering autistic person could enter society, by first accepting yourself and be

secure of you. Then demonstrate your acts so you could develop the language to be understand and accepted.

Thank youRafael Kalach 10ºB
