I Heart Huckabee's Analysis

Improved Essays
I Heart Huckabee’s starts out with a character by the name Albert Markovski, he is an environmental activist who is distressed about how most American 's have absolutely no interest in saving the natural world from corporate malls and boundless developments. In the early moments of the movie he experiences a series of events that lead him to believe that they are coincidences and they have left him confused and interested at the same time. The reoccurrence of running in to the same tall African man left him in thoughts of what was the underlying cause to him running into him three different times. Albert finds a business card leading him to the existential detective agency ran by Benard and his wife Vivian.

Although clinical assessments are more formal that other approaches it is unstructured, semi-structured or fully structure. In “I
Heart Huckabee’s”, they use a semi-structured approach which shines light on borderline personality disorders, such as mood–swings and outraged behavior without thinking. Albert and his new found friend the firefighter both show good examples of outraged behaviors at dinner with the tall Africans family and meeting at work, when he goes ballistic. This leads to him wanting to cancel his services with the existential detectives. He makes a decision to end their services out of outrage and little thought. Which in my opinion is a great illustration of the abnormal borderlines personality disorder they try to find in the clinical interviews. Later in the movie a lady makes her self known after time of being in the background and watching Albert.
Albert gets in her car and goes home to reflect on Albert’s past journal he wrote in as a child. It explained how Albert could possibly be the way he is due to how his mother reacted to telling him his favorite cat died.
