Blog Post #10: Flipped

Flipped
 
1. When the movie changes viewpoints, sometimes the scene is changed. However, it just gives some background on why the characters might feel a certain way. For example, the snake scene with egg lets the viewer know why Bryce doesn't particularly like eggs. I also think when the view switches from boy to girl, there is a change in the emotional aspect. Julie seems to be able to connect with people more, and look at the bigger picture of things. Bryce seems a bit naive and focuses more on the superficial things.
 
2. Bryce's family seems the most uncomfortable out of the two. I think the main reason is because of their father. He is a bit narrow minded and insensitive to other peoples feelings. Since he is in a more dominant position he has a big influence on the way the Baker family is perceived. At some point they may be able to become more "neighborly" but the dad would need to change his thought process, and become a little bit more open minded and less ignorant.
 
3. I think that plot and character are equally important. On one hand, the plot is the story, and sets the viewer up for the conflict. On the other hand, characters make the story, and they allow connections to be made with the viewer.
