Weekly Reflection

4/12-14/10

The film Three Sisters shows the wealthy joking around having lunch and having friends over. They make jokes at the expense of another, in this case the girlfriend of Andre, the brother of the three sisters. That family of wealthy people just wants to dream about work but never actually have to do it. They feel that working would be a good pass time for them since they have never had to work in their lives for the money that they have.

Woody Allen’s film Hannah and Her Sisters has some form of connection to the Three Sisters. His representation of his character in the film is of a dramatic about his health that is always jumping to conclusions. He always imagines that he has some kind of illness just because he has some of the symptoms of the illness. When he had headaches he immediately assumed that he had something to worry about, so he went to get a check up and there were some abnormalities with his test results. He then assumed that he had cancer due to the attitude of the doctor in getting him to take more tests to be sure it wasn’t something serious to worry about. He even had bad dreams due to worrying so much that he was going to die from cancer, turns jumpy and depressed. When he is waiting for the final results of his tests he starts imagining that the doctor comes in and tells him that he does have cancer and he is doing to die, when in fact the doctor comes in to tell him that he is in perfect health. This character just jumps to conclusions and imagines the worst of everything in his life. He had once been married to Hannah.
