"All That Heaven Allows"
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The notion of May-December romances in Hollywood movies is certainly nothing new where thematic content is concerned; however, when the notion of social class crossing is added to the mix, then the once-ordinary theme of older woman/younger man relationships takes on an interesting new twist. Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman play the two love struck characters in director Douglas Sirk's 1955 film entitled "All That Heaven Allows," which dares to challenge unwritten social policy that mandates people of each economic class must remain within their respective boundaries when it comes to seeking love.

"American Beauty": Dysfunctional Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening play Lester Burnham and Carolyn Burnham, a seemingly happily married couple in Sam Mendes' "American Beauty" – by typical social standards, that is. What actually lurks beneath
their otherwise normal relationship is the discontentment of one man's desire to live more of his life than merely being a cookie cutout of average people. Lester longs for excitement and intrigue to fill his lonely, boring life, and he has learned over the years that he cannot get these
things from his own marriage. In essence, Lester and Carolyn have grown apart rather than together, no longer sharing the same elements that originally brought them together as a couple. What has come to pass that inevitably inspires Lester's mid-life crisis is a combination of lost youth, a life that is going nowhere, his marriage becoming more of a drudgery than an enlightening experience and a general sense of failure. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
