Document Summary
A modern day capra film: it"s a wonderful life playing at one of the theatres in the background, the snow falling at the end. The mirror scene in othello pulls us through composition: an image in reverse, pushes othello more deeply into that crisis, othello is actually disappearing in his crisis, he has no place to inhabit that scene. One of the most powerful subplots of the movie: melodramas always give the characters who fallen into despair another chance, in order to be himself he had to stand up for himself. Every character is given a second chance by the end of the movie. Self-enhancement-the idea to strengthen your own ego by demeaning another or helping one. Motivation to avoid prejudice-internal or external values that would make one not want to feel prejudice because that is socially unavailable. 3 goals to hinder or promote application. Stereotypes were distracting from reality individuating information. All anonymous characters and under extreme stress.
