Planned Parenthood Film Analysis

In the End, it is Always Family Regardless of how many differences we all have with our family, they’re the ones who will always be there for us. They will lift us up when we are down and they’ll straighten our path when our road becomes a little curvy. They will love us unconditionally, no matter how many times you mess up. And that’s the one really good thing about family. You can scream, rip each other’s head off, and mistreat each other, but deep down, nothing can change the love we have in our hearts. Each of the families in “Planned Parenthood” is completely different from one another. This makes me think of my own family. My mom, my dad, my brother and I, are all aliens to one another. Sometimes I wonder how we even made it 17 years without a grave being gouged. The character, Nathan Huffner, reminds me a lot of my own father. They are both very good dads who only want the best for their kid, but sometimes they get way to over controlling and attempt to dictate every decision and aspect of their child’s life. Don’t get me wrong, my dad is still my dad and I love him, but the majority of the time he just frustrates me. He doesn’t give me the chance to make some of my own decisions.

He is always constantly telling me how I need to work more or how I need to do every single chore in the house or how I need to get straight A’s. It’s like I …show more content…
In the film, Julie implies that her mom made her ditch her friends so she could study for her SAT’s. An example of this in my life would be when my mom makes me rearrange my entire plans for the day because she wants me to go and work at the family business when I wasn’t scheduled. Another example would be automatically saying, “No,” as soon as I ask to leave the house. And then she complains about how I’m always by …show more content…
Sometimes, I feel like I’m adopted. I mean it’s like I am an alien in my family the majority of the time. I have completely different beliefs than everyone else I live with. This causes us to argue and bicker. A lot. I’m also zoned out most of the time during family gatherings. Besides the typical, “Oh how is school?’ or the “Sweetie, you’ve gotten so big!” deal, no one really tends to have a true conversation with me. Yet, it doesn’t bother me. I love them. Anytime I happen to have a hard time or need something, I know that they will always be there for me no matter what happens. No matter what I do to anger them. Because that’s what family does. They’re there for you. During your highs and your lows. You begin your life with family, and you end with family. Whether you like it or not, they’re always going to be that annoying little bug biting your ear, but I’d rather have a million bug bites than none at
