Conclusion Group 4
Many teenagers may have taken this movie seriously. However, as you can see, the rules in He’s Just Not That Into You rarely apply to reality. The movie’s theory of rules and exceptions to those rules, is absurd. Not only that but If the guy wants it to happen with a women, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. A guy certainly can't "make it happen" either. When men are mean to women, it does not necessarily mean they like them. Women should not make to poor mistake of believing this. Also, a man says he is going to call, and he doesn’t, a girl should not wait by her telephone. He’s not going to call. This movie was very funny, and could easily be interpreted as truthful by adolescent minds. It is important for people watching to realize that this movie is fictional, and not to apply these theories to real life dating situations.

The books are always better, but I still think you are missing a couple of really important issues the movie tries to make. It is hard to decifer your points in the paragraph on why you don't beleive the lessons apply to reality.
ReplyDeleteThe entire statement about when men are mean to woman it means they may/may not like them is confusing. Beside that entire clip was about what the girl is being taught and has nothing to do with if the boy really likes her or not.
So other then disagreeing with your points, I thought is was pretty good. I would sort out your thoughts on it a little bit more because it was hard to follow in certain spots.
I agree with kristy, I feel that your except lacks some flow and detail. But other wise great opions. Good job.

I think you make good use of transitions here, and you do an admirable job of explaining how the film is significant. However, I would like to see more specific references to the film itself, particularly in the first half of your conclusion. I agree with Kristy: there's a lot of generalized "men/women" discussion going on here that you want to avoid, for the most part. Plus I would like to see a stronger clincher--take a look at what Ginger's group did if you want to see a "good clincher" model. B.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this. You gave a good point about why people should not take this movie serious. I understand that you were not explaining the whole movie but just pointing out reasons why things are not realistic and should not be taken seriously. As Brian had mentioned, there are way to make your words stronger. overall good job.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great write-up! On the flip side, almost anyone has gotten used of having he/she not being that into you. It is a part of life unfortunately, something we have all lived through. I think in many minds,the plot of the movie is interpreted as having more reality than fiction in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is really funny is that movie is in my dvd player as we speak;I just watched it last night. Anyway, I think you brought up some good points in your conclusion but like the others said it could have used more detail or examples. Overall, what you were trying to say was obvious. That movie did defiantly display some false theories of why some men and women do or no not connect or date. You bring up a good point about it being misleading to young teens that may take it seriously; I never thought of that when i was watching it. Overall, Good =)
ReplyDeleteI loved that movie! You did a great job on this, and you explained the movie, but I wish you woulda added more detail to what would have wrote in your essay (if you were writing one), kinda like summing it up with the main point. But otherwise I think its a great start for a conclusion! good work!
ReplyDeleteThis was good, I would read the rest of your paper. You gave enough detail without completely giving away the entire movie. I haven't seen the movie yet but now I for sure want too!
ReplyDeleteI liked your conclusion very much, but it did come across as being a little weak at the end. Your messages came through but it didn't leave me thinking "Boy, I never thought about it that way". Good conclusion nevertheless, just some more oomph would've taken it to the next level.
