In 2003, an awesome, action packed movie went into theatres. The movie brought back two of hollywood’s favorite actors, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, for their second time together. Bad Boys 2 is a thrilling movie that takes the viewers on an adventure with the two main characters using great conflict, action, and characterization. Bad Boys 2 sets off by bringing back Mike Lowry (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) in an opening scene with them dressed as members of the white supremacist group, the KKK (Ku Klux Klan). This leads to the first type of conflict in the movie when Mike shoots Marcus, grazing his buttocks trying to save him from getting killed. Mike didn’t know it yet but Marcus was already thinking about putting …show more content…

Little did Marcus know that Mike and Sydney had started seeing each other when Mike went on a “work trip” to New York City. While he was supposed to tell Marcus about his interactions with Sydney, Mike failed to do so completely making the interactions at the dinner table awkward. Finally, when Marcus figured out about the two of them, he angrily confessed that he was going to be putting in a transfer after the assignment that they were currently on. This was not the only thing that Sydney was hiding unfortunately. “Complicating matter is Marcus’s little sister, who is not just undercover for the DEA -- she’s also the undercover dating interest of Detective Lowrey” (Morganstern par. 5). Sydney being an undercover DEA leads to the main conflict of the …show more content…

Howe told the readers that Bad Boys 2 was pretty much just like the first of the series only difference being that the movie is louder, longer, and the actors get paid more (Howe par.1). So obviously it didn’t make it hard to have good characterization for Mike and Marcus, but what about Sydney? Or Johnny? Well the writer did a great job with these two as well. Sydney was brought into the movie perfectly and continued being built up into the character she was supposed to be, which was an undercover DEA agent. The writer also did a great job with the portrayal Johnny Tapia with being the kingpin drug lord. The development and portrayal of his character is exactly what a viewer would have wanted to see, with the big shot personality and the actions he would take as if he was untouchable, he was the perfect

Books express who the author is or who they want to be. They show the imagination and, sometimes, the difficulties of the author’s life. In Bad Boy, by Walter Dean Myers, the author shows the difficulties in his life and how he overcame those obstacles in the shape of a memoire. While I appreciate the truths about the world told in Bad Boy, and the uncensored quality while addressing racial issues, I am not too fond of this book. I definitely do not hate Bad

In all honesty, the story should be the selling point of this film, yet Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are the “poster boys (if you will)” of the film, and are absolutely perfect with this respective renditions. Gosling brings the jokey humor, while Crowe adds the brawn. Add-on a stellar performance from the youthful Angourie Rice, and it culminates into a wonderfully rounded acting extravaganza. In the end, it’s tough to find an aspect within The Nice Guys to dislike - and from my point of view, there’s nothing there. This is an excellent film production from start to finish, and even poor box office returns won’t change that.

Conflicts that arise throughout this film can be explained through power and power currencies, conflict styles and tactics, assumptions and triggering events, and forgiveness and reconciliation. Each conflict allows there to be understanding as to why the conflict took place and how it got as destructive as it did.
