Observing
Communication Skills and Styles
I rarely watch
television the extent to which I watch is Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. I watched the last 30 minutes of a movie
called The Family Man with Nicholas
Cage and Tea Leoni. I don’t have a recorder so I borrowed a movie
I had wanted to watch from my daughter-in-law.
I watched the last 30 minutes without sound and when I started watching
a lady is lying in the bed and a man is sitting next to her bed in a chair
talking to her. He walks out of the room
and takes a dog for a walk. Then it is
back to the bedroom and he is sitting watching her sleep trying to stay awake. The next scene he wakes up in a different
bedroom and in a different bed with someone knocking on the door. It is a beautiful young lady and he walks
past her. He goes to a house from a posh apartment in a very fancy car to a nice
but modest neighborhood and knocks on the door.
A man comes to the door and they talk and he leaves. He gets back in the
car and he answers the phone.
The next scene he is at
a board meeting and everyone seems to be looking to him for answers. He leaves and goes to his car and makes a
phone call. He arrives at another
building where someone is moving. He
engages the lady in a conversation and she gives him a box and it is the same
lady that he was sitting at her bedside and she dismisses him. He takes the box that has different items
including English Leather cologne, a yo-yo, and a picture. He seems sad and pensive. He gets back in his
car driving very fast and goes to the airport.
He is running through the airport and she is getting ready to board the
plane. He yells to her and she turns
around and he keeps taking to her although she continues to board the plane. He says something and she stops. Then next scene they are sitting at a table
looking out a window and it is snowing they seemed to be very involved with
each other and enjoying the conversation.
It was a little
confusing without being able to listen to the conversations, but you get an
idea of what is occurring. Having seen It
Is a Wonderful Life I got an idea that it was something similar to it. I believed that he was in love with the lady
and she did not trust him. When I listened to the movie my assumptions were
true that it was a feel good movie with a happy ending—I love happy endings. It was similar to It Is a Wonderful Life and Jack was given the opportunity to see
his life with Kate if he had made different choices. Having
been given an opportunity to glimpse what was truly important in life he was
determined to make this a reality for Kate and himself. I believe it would have been easier to follow
and my assumptions more correct if I had been familiar with the characters and
the roles they play.
