My wife and I have been watching The Cosby Show of late. As in Bill Cosby in one of the biggest TV shows of the late 1980′s and early 90′s. Before that it was Two and a Half Men, and TCS is much different than my old favorite, Married with Children. The thing is, even though the show is based around the situation of a family, it seems to be built on something more.

The Prophet Eli
Critique of THE BOOK OF ELI
We had too much. We threw away things that we kill each other for now. We didn’t know what was truly precious.
-Eli
That book is power. It can control the weak minded. It happened before. It’ll happen again.
-Carnegie
The only actors that I knew going into this movie were the acclaimed Gary Oldman and Denzel Washington. That is fitting for me, because they embody God and Satan in a meta-realistic way. They are highly recognizable faces and names, although their characters, demeanors, their very definitions change from context to context. But they also embody other things.
Carla and Daniel
Disability of Carla and Daniel
Semi-Critique of THE OTHER SISTER
The movie that I watched was The Other Sister. The movie is primarily about a young lady, named Carla, and her reintroduction into her family. She, and boy friend Daniel, both have some kind of mental handicap. The movie shows their trials within the lives that they lead, and the way in which family and other people react to them. Carla and Daniel are the main protagonists, and are portrayed by the actors as highly sympathetic ones at that. They are the underdogs to root for as the drama unfolds, until in the climax, it is Carla, the disabled outcast of the family, who tries to reach out to as many people as she can, regardless of who or what they are.
