When beginning this class I thought I was well versed in technology. I had always been the person that my friends and family would confide in with their technological problems and I was almost always able to solve […]

Jessica Drechsler replied to the topic "Georgia" and is there a hero with addiction? in the forum Film Talk 4 years, 11 months ago
I completely agree with you that Jennifer Jason Leigh’s performance in this film absolutely blew me away. Her ability to convey these themes of addiction and passion in such a compelling way was absolutely amazing. I also agree with you in the fact that I do not see a hero in this film even though I desperately want to. I believe it is obvious…[Read more]

The 1984 film adaptation of the Somerset Maugham’s novel “The Razors Edge” starring Bill Murray was considered to be a massive failure by both critic and audience alike. The budget for the film was 12 million […]

Jessica Drechsler replied to the topic Luke as a Christ Figure in "Cool Hand Luke" in the forum Film Talk 5 years ago
I myself am not very educated in the topics of “Jesus” and “The Bible” but I find the parallels you make between Luke and Jesus to be quite striking and one that I myself picked up on throughout the film. Luke through being put into the role of “the savior” rejects it when he is brought back after attempting to escape for either the first or…[Read more]

Jessica Drechsler replied to the topic Bad Day at Black Rock: Infinity War in the forum Film Talk 5 years ago
I definitely agree with you that this film was very predictable in the story line and it was something I have seen before in many different forms. I however found the plot in this movie to be rather slow moving compared to modern day hero films such as the marvel films. I myself am not a huge fan of the western but again that is just my taste.…[Read more]

Jessica Drechsler replied to the topic The Selfless Hero in the forum Film Talk 5 years, 1 month ago
I agree with you that Rick was definitely selfless throughout the film. He could have easily sent Victor Laszlo on the plane by himself and stayed in Casablanca with Ilsa but instead he sent them both on the plane to safety so Laszlo could continue his fight against the Nazi regime. I however interpreted the role of the hero in this film to be…[Read more]

Jessica Drechsler replied to the topic The Female Hero Pt. 2: Clarrisa Suanders role in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington in the forum Film Talk 5 years, 1 month ago
I completely agree with you, I believe that Clarissa was better at aiding the hero than the female role of “Annabelle”. Annabelle had many moments in which her helping of Johnnie wasn’t actually helping at all and instead put their lives in danger whereas Clarissa genuinely helped Jeff. You can see this in the instance during the filibuster…[Read more]
