She must have felt out of place, alone in fact, as no one she knew was struggling like her, no one she can relate to. But luckily she got Mr. Petrakis, who I thought played a crucial role in her life.

The film 'Clueless', written and directed by Amy Heckerling, is an adaptation of Jane Austen's novel 'Emma' and closely parallels the story in terms of characters and the stories plot.

The short film, "I'm Here", created by Spike Jonze, is a cautionary tale--more specifically, a warning to young well-meaning couples beginning to dwell into the realm of co-dependent relationships. Nevertheless, the story cannot be defined within a neat sense of black and white terminology, it’s obvious that there is some sort of sacrificial aspect happening between the protagonist, Sheldon—especially noted when he starts to give away his parts to Francesca until he is nothing but a lonely head. But, it’s also obvious that Francesca never forces him to do such, even telling Sheldon when he is trying to give her his leg to forget about it, it all pertains to Sheldon’s own desire to provide—most likely to compensate for his own lonely secluded life prior to him meeting Francesca. Once she comes into his life, he does everything in his power in order for her to be alive, even dreaming about such, “I had a dream last night, where you lost your leg, and

In my opinion the more modern version of the movie is a lot more up beat.
