With Honors Movie Review - 1061 Words

Introduction The film centers on Montgomery Monty Kessler (Brendan Fraser) a government senior student at Harvard University, who thinks his life depends on his thesis. When his computer crashes, Monty decides that the reasonable thing to do is to rush to make copies of the only hard copy of the thesis he has. But on the way to the copy shop, he has an accident and the thesis falls into the boiler room of the library and into the hands of Simon Wilder (Joe Pesci), a homeless man who has made a makeshift home in there. At first, there is tension between the two, as Monty is outraged for the deal he is forced to make with Simon: for each day of food and shelter, Monty gets one page of the thesis. As time goes by, Monty realizes that there†¦show more content†¦I love Joe Pesci and as surreal and unreal as his bum version was, you can ´t help loving the guy. There was something very  ´common place ´ (the poor but incredibly wise man that is) about it, but the movie has its merits. I knew Brendan Fraser could kick ass and look hot but I was pleased to see him act. The guy ´s good and his character were really captivating, which gets the movie going. This movie for the subjects exposed in it. It speaks of freedom, integrity love for ourselves and others, priorities and one nice look at a society changing towards individualism but never too far from mutual aid. The actors are terrific. Joe Pesci is simple and very transparent. Brendan Fraser is very good. Very smooth in his characters evolution during the movie, Moira Kelly, well beside the fact that she is very pretty, she plays an important grounding role. Patrick Dempsey, I never saw him much but this role was played perfectly. He plays the kind very sensitive guy that does not take too much things seriously. And Josh Halmilton even though you probably won’t like him at first he supports one feeling of wrongness trough the movie by not getting involved, fitting ones beliefs because that’s what he was thought, and breaks down slowly trough the movie. Enjoy. This is the kind of movie you watch when you are down or that it is raining. It kind of makes things a little easier. There is a lesson coming from the movie, but it ´s not one that will make you want roll yourShow MoreRelatedThe Breakfast Club Jaws And Star Wars Analysis1368 Words   |  6 Pagessuch a recognition have shifted over the years, due to how society has shifted.

The moral of the story is that women can be just the same as men can. I support the general meaning of the movie. I believe men that and women should be treated equally and that women should not be seen as weak or frail. Women are more than just wives or slaves and can-do jobs that have traditionally been set-aside for men. They can be successful and bring honor to their familiesRead MoreMedieval Themes Reflected in Modern Literature and Movies Essay examples898 Words   |  4 PagesMedieval times still make appearances in the films and literature that are popular among our society today.
