* maded = made
* chaos life = chaotic life
* psychosis illness = psychotic illnessA Beautiful Mind is a great film presenting a mind that was not much so beautiful, as John Nash was schizophrenic, paranoid, and delusional. Nevertheless, he did all he could to organize his thoughts and engineer a beautiful mind out of a messy one. His painstaking efforts and perseverance beautified his mind and mentality.
In my modest opinion, what John Nash did to harness his mentality was by far more splendid and admirable than the conquest of Mt. Everest by a paralyzed person. That’s why I believe this victory was his crowning achievement and was even more significant than his Nobel Prize.
Well-written with a literary style!

* (better to write): I had no clue on what was really going onThe Road Not Taken by Robert Frost refers to dilemmas in life and the challenge of decision making, which sometimes tends to be extremely mind-twisting. However, our decisions, sound or rash, mature or immature, give us our identity. It’s natural that, from time to time, we might cast doubt on our former decisions, yet we cannot question the person who has made all those decisions.
Well-written enriched with great vocabulary! Thank you, Dr. Hooshmand.

* haunt as an intransitive verb requires an object.This meaningful quote by Robert Frost on life and time is incredibly cathartic by nature because it reminds us that we should not get stuck in or overshadowed by some special somber chapters of life. As a result, if implemented and practiced sufficiently, this quote can reduce tension and anxiety to a noticeable extent, particularly while dealing with critical situations.
Psycho is one of the most mysterious and thrilling movies I’ve ever watched. The film which is based on a novel is psychologically grounded on some issues, such as dissociative identity disorder, Oedipus Complex in Freudian Psychology, and others.
The first time I watched Psycho, I thought Marion was the main character or protagonist. Then to my astonishment, she was murdered by the motel owner. Afterwards, I thought the private investigator could solve the puzzle. Then again, I was taken by surprise when he, too, got killed by Norman Bates, the motel owner.
What’s more, I had no idea Marion’s sister would be the one who could unravel the mystery, which indeed was the climax of the story and concealed to me till the last moment.
To truly understand the sophisticated plot of the story, you need to watch it at least three times as recommended by renowned films critics. Yet, when well-understood, you could realize how dangerous and life-threatening a psychopath can be to other people.
Dog Day Afternoon is not just a film for entertainment. To me, it is more a documentary than a film because this masterpiece depicts what exactly happened three years earlier. I pondered over the title of the movie and found out that there must be a link between the dog at the outset of the movie and the chain of events in the story, especially when the inexperienced robbers who were acting like a bunch of bulls in a china shop did not make a good start, and then persisted in continuing and fulfilling the robbery ominously anyhow.
This lack of attention to one’s sense of grim foreboding or early sings of misfortune reminded me of the film, The Shining, in which the characters, except for the little child, disregarded the early signs of bad luck.
The film is a mixture of tragedy and comedy which was brilliantly orchestrated by Sidney Lumet and so many actors, particularly Al Pacino. It was extremely comic and hilarious from this perspective that the characters had a strong desire for publicity and adventure. This strong desire made some bank clerks stay in the bank voluntarily and the people on the street applaud the bank robbers.
The ending of the film was so fascinating, grim and professional. I had to watch the scene in which the robbers were shot dead and arrested for over 10 times as it was absolutely perfect. All the actors were doing their jobs so perfectly and harmoniously.
This quote from Dr. Seuss is both meaningful and poetic as you can see “shoes” and “choose” rhyme elegantly. It reminds us that we can determine the course of our lives and be the captain of our own ships.
In addition, this nice quote puts emphasis on integrity and holism in any individual, in which the brain (the captain, conductor or driver), the feet (the wheels or sails), and the steer (the heart or compass) should coordinate with each other for the whole person to move forward coherently.
