Bonnie & Clyde / Thelma & Louise

There is a big connection between the movies (Bonnie and Clyde)&( Thelma and Louise), the connection is the view on feminist criticism. In Bonnie and Clyde the movie show these two characters that go on a journey together that eventually(*spoiler alert) end in their death. The movie captures the relation between a man and women and who has more power or control. Bonnie is this sweet sexually agressive smart women that like things to be the way she want them, and Clyde is a escape criminal that   has the charm, smarts and means to get what he need. Both are similar and connect to one another but there's a bit of tension of who's in charge , but both has a level of equal librium which make these two so easily to enjoy watching on screen.

In Thelma and Louise this movie is similar to bonnie and clyde but in this both characters are women and they already know each other when the movie start. Thelma is a stay at home wife that take care of her jerk of a husband and for her when at home she don't have any control. Now louise on the other hand is tough, with a job and a loving boyfriend and she is't afraid to do what she want when she want to. Over the course of the movie the both of them go on an vacation that end's up taking them on a life changing journey and along the way in multiple scens one of them is in charge, then the other is in charge. Even though in the end (*spoiler alert) they die they still have an accomplishment of wining because they didn't let the men around them control them and continue to have power they did what they wanted and died happy in the end.

Both films have feminist criticism because of the way both films portray women as strong people that shouldn't be taken for granted and should be treated with respect, love, and honor. The movies show that women aren't these scared beings that like being bossed around, but characters that can do what ever a man can do and sometimes do it better. Both movie's director's wanted the viewer or viewers to see what their trying to express that women are tough and can basically do anything.

comparing Citizen kane and American Beauty

           American Beauty and Citizen Kane are similar in many way's but im going to focus on fact that both characters want to be younger again. In Kane's movie it show his life from a young boy to an old man, and through out that time he go through allot, and as viewers we can see that he want to have a childhood again. Through out the movie he's constantly moving and buying things and he even try to buy love and happiness. Because of his father treating him wrongly he don't get to spend much time with his mother and his childhood get ripped away from him. So because of the lack of parenting in his life and he just had people buying him things and him buying things him self he really don't know what love s and how to obtain it.

         
             In American Beauty Lester sort of face the same problem but he already experienced love and want to experience being a teenager. His marriage has depleted, him and his wife are distant from each other. While the wife is cheating on him, going to gun ranges, and bing more crazy the dad is out blak mailing people, getting a fast food job, and tacking back a life in which money seem more important. While he's doing this he isn't seeing the big picture of actual becoming apart of some one else's life he's just becoming a dictator.When on his path of redemption he should of been more inclined to work his way back into his daughters life and possible get his wife back.

              To me both characters over time developed into something in which they may of done allot but    didn't really do what they really wanted. In Citizen Kane by the end of the film pretty much drove away every one he thought he cared about except for the maids who's inclined to stay there and take care of him. American beauty's character Lester developed over time as well he managed to cause his wife to go insane, his daughter hated him so much she was about to run away with her boyfriend ricky but he did learn something. Both characters learned that over the course of their lives they never really got back the thing they both really wanted which is love, but by the end they understand right before their death what they had to do to be happy.
