Reflections on the reading and viewing(module 5)
The movie I chose to view was Terms of Endearment. The book says that the star of the movie is Jack Nicholson but I think it is Shirley Maclaine. I really like this movie. The movie has a lot of emotion to it. It’s about two women Aroa and her daughter Emma and their lifes through the years. You follow their lives with all it ups and downs especially at the end it’s the saddest part. I wont say what happens just incase someone wants to see it. Jack Nicholson plays Aroa’s main love interest. He’s a retired astronaut that likes women a lot. Shirley and Jack have a very interesting relationship in the movie it kind of sweet. I like movies like this it has a real life journey feel to it. This movie won five Academy Awards including best picture. If you haven’t seen it you should.
I enjoyed reading this chapter because it talks about a switch in powers. Up to now the film studios have had all the power in telling which actors to do what film. This chapter was interesting because it tells you about actors picking their own film and saying no to others. It’s also interesting to see the movies that different actors have been in. There are a few movies I had never heard about. Over all the reading and viewing was a good one.

I like what you wrote about Terms of Endearment. I have not seen this movie and would probably be one that i woould walk past at the movie stores, but after how you said it was a real to life movie that has one 5 Acadamy Awards and of course has Jack in it, I will have to check it out.

Sarah,
I have never seen the movie Terms of Endearment, I am not a fan of Jack Nicholson but after hearing how you liked it so much, I would like to see it. I really like this chapter as well.
