Media Assessment Project: Still Alice By Julianne Moore

“Media Assessment Project”

1-I choose two movies that deal with mental illness/psychological disorder.

The first movie is called “Still Alice” by Julianne Moore

At the age of fifty, she fulfilled her goals and she had a career even with her three children.

This movie helped me to learn what is right and wrong and also how to behave and to respect everyone else. The reason is that racism was seen as injustice and people did not approve other religions.
