Proof

In the movie, Proof, Catherine and those closest to her are faced with the question on if she is crazy. Hal doesn't seem to believe she is but Claire believes she is and wants to put her in an institution back in New York. I think that she may be on her way to becoming like her father but for the time being, she is not crazy. One reason that leads me to believe that she is not crazy comes from the idea that she wrote this proof that if she was crazy I don't think that she would've been able to do it. For a time in the movie, we are led to believe that she is crazy but it's later revealed what really happened in the past. When she is throwing books around and screaming that she didn't write it, I thought for sure that she was crazy. However, it then shows what had happened the night that she finished writing the proof and it does show that she wrote it. This leads me to believe that she wasn't crazy, but she had convinced herself somehow that she didn't want credit for the proof and that she wanted to give that credit to her father. This is why I've concluded that Catherine is not crazy.

Singing in the Rain

The production of Singing in the Rain was a pretty well put together movie for the most part and was very enjoyable. To me, it had a pretty clear message in it about movie making. Throughout the movie they were faced with problems in making a movie that had talking in it. Those same issues were present in the real world when transitioning from silent films to talkies. I feel that the films message about movie making was that it can be hard to make the entertainment that other people enjoy so effortlessly so viewers should show more appreciation. It could also be saying that while some people in that particular business might not be that bright, but most of them actually have to be pretty smart to be able to do their job efficiently.
