Sammy was such an opposite of what Al was, like the saying opposites attract, this kept Al investigative for Sammy. Early in there first encounter when Sammy was a copy boy, Al said that Sammy made him feel “uncomfortable” because he was always afraid of “people who were agile without grace” (4). Al said “the first time he ever scared me” was when Al said he would keep an ear to the ground for Sammy to become a cub reporter, Sammy replied “don’t do me any favors, couple of years at cub reporter 20 bucks, district man 35 bucks, and finally big reporter at 45 bucks for the rest of your life. No thanks”, and ran off.
Choi 2During their first associations Al was mostly feeling negative impressions toward Sammy, feelings of dislike and uneasiness. Up until Sammy had the brave idea of selling
Julian Blumberg’s story to Hollywood. Al suggested Sammy call Myron Selznick a well known agent in Hollywood thinking that Myron would humble Sammy by rejecting him and putting Sammy in his place. Even though Sammy was a “nobody” in Hollywood and was a complete stranger to Myron, he bluffed and sold Myron on a story he never even wrote. Expecting to see Sammy get shut down like a salesman on the front-porch of a hostile homeowner, Al was stunned and “was in actual awe for the magnitude of his blustering” (33). Al being mesmerized asked Sammy candidly if he were scared. Al used a simile for his curiosity like “a mystic trying to reach another world” (33).
Al was in some ways wanting to see Sammy get rejected. Watching Sammy closely, when Myron Selznick didn’t call for weeks, Al had a “tremendous temptation not to exult” and after seeing no signs of success he finally said, “Well, Sammy, my boy, so you finally bit off more than you can chew?” Later, Sammy runs into the office with an expression of a rat that avoided the trap and got the cheese and told Al that he sold the story for five thousand bucks. Al seemed to be bitter for Sammy’s success. When Sammy arrogantly commented about Julian being lucky to have him around, Al threw in a bitter comment, “like Miss Goldbaum?” Feeling satisfaction from stabbing Sammy with his words, Al said he was all of a sudden feeling hate for Sammy. He said it was “good-to-the-last-drop one-hundred-percent pure hate” (35).
Choi 3Jealousy seemed to be a part of it as well. Al was already feeling a roller-coaster of emotions because of Sammy when he expressed “I didn’t know if I should be painfully jealous or congratulate myself for not being like him. I’m afraid I did both” (35).
People are generally interested in the extraordinary and this becomes a reason Al was continually occupied with Sammy even to the point to say obsessed when he visited Sammy’s mother and brother. Being moved by Sammy to a roller coaster of emotions this kept haunting Al’s mind with Sammy. When people watch a boring movie that does not move them in anyway, they lose interest even fall asleep and forget they even saw the movie. When the movie moves them positively or negatively, even to disgust, they remember the movie. In a similar way Al was absorbed in Sammy’s life because it was extraordinary and moved Al to wonderment of how Sammy overcame the greatest of obstacles and bitterness of not being able
[Page 2] A major element of how most of the people in the film’s story are described are the children of Al*, who are shown as being somewhat more cheerful, a kinder and the eldest during the movie. All characters are described as being nice, and show a strong love for each other, especially when kids such as Al and Sammy are shown as being quite mature. Some of the descriptions of youngsters such as the ones Al saw at the beginning of the film are not only very entertaining but also, it goes without saying, in many different ways an awesome experience for both Al and Sammy. Some of the children are in really difficult cases or are in very hard cases or are just too young, but if they are shown in this way and also look like they’re still young, it seems that the movie’s main goal is to show those kids the true meaning of life. All the different characters can be described as extremely fun and fun to be around, but with their unique and special personalities as well as the amazing way they look, their appearance, their looks and how they behave make a movie that makes its audience feel really happy.”‡,‡. This is one of the other things that is described when Al and Sammy are shown as teenagers, in a different light than children of other films. This can be seen more or less with adults in the movie, usually in early to mid teens or at the beginning as the characters enter adulthood or grow into adults.
[Page 4] In many different ways Al fits in well with other movie characters from other films as depicted in the movie so it isn’t an exaggeration to say that Al is a much more interesting and interesting character from the beginning. This would help explain Al’s role as a kid, how he was never told that Sammy was his age, his actions before the movie, his reaction to how Sammy lived his life, and how Sammy got involved in his life. It would also help explain why the movie doesn’t really let go of his story as he grows up but continues to do so. For some reason Al does not seem to really change from the movie’s beginning, he seems as a bit more mature as the movie goes on, but ultimately he’s now younger.
[Page 6] On the other hand, if you look carefully at any of the people in the movie after they are 20 and they start showing off their beautiful faces (with the exception of Al, or like Sam), then it may sound very clear that no one except Sammy is seen on screen. However, it seems that the first person they see is Al. The movie really only shows out the second person Sam is shown, which is the opposite of what most of the people in the movie could assume. What I am
