Nonverbal Communication

Anita L. Coles

The movie that I watched begin with a group of young children, the children look to be between eight to ten years of age. It looks like the children dwell in some type of group home or school.  (I had my daughter to turn to a movie with my eyes closed so that I would not know the title of the movie)

Looking at the picture with the sound completely off it seems as if the children are in the backyard running around as if they have gotten into some type of trouble they look surprised or frightened. Although the children look somewhat disturbed they also look like they are being mischievous. It is hard to tell with the sound down. The children ran to the back door; an adult male figure opened the door.

About seven of the children are standing in front of the door or close to the door. The adult male starts from the end of the row of children and looks to be slapping all of the children at hand.  The children look surprise but not really stunted or hurt more like they did not expect the slaps.  Two boys begin to talk and start walking fast and then begin to run…13 years later the boys are now adult (I am assuming that these boys are the same boys who ran away when they were very young boys). The two men are eating lunch and talking and the other one is listening but seems annoyed at the one who is talking.

The man who is talking has a smile on his face and has picked up a jar of sugar as if he is preparing himself a cup of coffee. The second man reaches for the jar of sugar and while trying to pour sugar in his cup the sugar come undone all the sugar pours into the second man’s cup. The second man looks very annoyed.  The first man continues to talk as if nothing happened out of the ordinary. 

This seems to further annoy the second man.  The first man stands to his feet begins to walk away and with his back to the second man, the first man continues to talk to the second man.  The second man while looking upset begins to talk to the first man. The first man does not turn around but does appear to respond to what the second’s comments.  The men seem to be casing homes and breaking into the homes. The homes look like they belong to very rich individuals.

Although the second man seems to go along with the first he seems very reluctant to do so.

The second man meets a very pretty young woman. The woman appears to be going along with whatever the two men are doing.  

One day both men appear to get into a huge disagreement and part ways.  One day while the second man and the women were walking in what looked like a meadow the man hand what look to be a letter in his hand; after reading the letter the man went down to his knees and the women kneel down in front of the man as if she was trying to console the man.  

 (With the volume on) This movie was about two brothers who were in an orphanage. They were pranksters.  The last prank that they pulled man the housemaster very angry and he (the headmaster) punish all who that was involved by slapping their little faces. This made the brothers angry so the brother ran away.  The youngest brother had the strongest well so he was able to talk the older brother into doing whatever he (the youngest brother) wanted

The youngest brother talked the oldest brother into a life of crime until he (the oldest brother) found a woman. After meeting the women the brother tried to continence his younger brother to give up life of crime but the brother would not. The younger brother and his older brother, along with and his now wife went separate ways, the younger brother continued his life of crime; the older brother started living the straight and narrow.

One day while he and his wife were taking a walk the older brother received a letter informing him that is younger brother had gotten brutally beaten up and as a result had died.  The other brother fell to his knees and his wile knell down on her knees to comfort him…end of story.   

It just goes to show that we really cannot always look at a situation and assume what we see or what we think we see is the truth and or the facts to a situation.

 

 

I though t that the boys were good friends or perhaps brothers. I could tell that the boys/men were close and that they did mostly if not all everything together. I could tell that man of the men was more spontaneous than the other man, However, I was very shock to learn that the one the daring and spontaneous man was the younger and not the older man. I just assume that the one who was always holding back with what appeared to be doubts and concerns was the younger man.
