Baby boom Critique

Baby Boom, is a solemn and comical movie in one. J. C. Wiatt played by (Diane Keaton), is a woman of a fast paced life story style dedicated to her profession working 75-80 hours a week. J. C has no time to spare for her personal or romantic life, or relaxation time for that matter with her schedule. (The film shows J. C. and her live-in mate, played by Harold Rams, grudgingly allocating tetrad minutes for sex one evening earlier going right back to their reading ( word picture Review Baby Boom Film Baby Boom NYTimes. com, n. d. ).This movie goes from a career driven women who shake up everyone, to a m early(a) in the country who now shows fear. J. C. Wiatt is a workaholic whose sole focus in life is her Job, until she is faced with a very hard decision, work or motherhood. Attachment theory is clearly shown in this film between J. C, and Elizabeth the baby she inherited from her cousins who died in England. Attachment Oohn Bowlby, 1969), is the strong affectionate tie we f orm with special people in our lives that leads us to life pleasure when we interact with them and to be comforted by their nearness in times of stress (Berk, pg. 9). Ethological theory of attachment, which recognizes the infants emotional tie to the caregiver as an evolved reply that promotes survival, is the most widely accepted view by John Bowlby (Berk, pg. 150). Elizabeth expresses attachment theory when she is separated from J. C on several occasions, such as when Harold Ramis comes home and Elizabeth is fearful (stranger to her). Also, when J. C leaves her at the coat report and offers the attendant a large tip to keep her quiet for one hour, Elizabeth did not settle and cried until J. C was in sight again and held her.J. C shows clear and obvious ties to attachment theory as well. J. C never expected to take on the parenting role, she had plans on becoming partner in her company she was sedulous at and devoting more of her time that she barely had already. Once left wit h Elizabeth at the airport with no other chose, but to keep her until she could make arrangements and put her up for word sense. However, she now had to keep Elizabeth for two days before the espousal would take place. She had no clue how to raise or tend to an infant this was no wakeful task for J.C. Few examples of being clueless, resorted to using tape to keep iaper on when she failed on several attempts, gave her a bowl of linguine to eat, which let to a huge mess, as well as spraying the infant with cleaning solution. However, things did start to improve and she was catching on to some reassuring attemp ts that wor ed. k During this time Elizabeth got black and J C started to master some of the parenting skills she never thought she would. She took babys temperature and gave her medicine to bring down her fever. J. C. aced the entrance hall back and forth to comfort Elizabeth while she tried to calm and fall asleep. J. C. slept ith Elizabeth and stayed near her to make her feel safe secure base. This serves as an internal working model, or set of expectations about the availableness of attachment fgures and their likelihood of providing support during times of stress (Berk, pg. 150). After these two days together, waiting the adoption day J. C. and Elizabeth developed a strong emotional tie (attachment). The day comes to give Elizabeth up for adoption J.C and she shows empathy now that its time to say goodbye. The adoptive parents did not seem right for Elizabeth, J. C. says goodbye as Elizabeth is shout out and leaves. She made it maybe ten paces away from the door before she dour around and forfeited the adoption, she became to given up to Elizabeth and developed the emotional bond of needing to keep her safe and look after her herself, not some strangers She tried to balance her work and keeping Elizabeth, but it was tough ad she was very insecure with any baby-sitter/nanny she left Elizabeth with.She was a nervous wreck and found it very hard to leave Elizabeth for yearn periods now. She made a huge decision and left her cozy high paying Job, packed up and moved to Vermont (in the country). There was no plan other than to spend time with Elizabeth and raise her in a more laidback, slow paced life style. This is were a lot of the comical parts of the movie took place, because J. C. was a urban center girl, and each day was a new challenge and accomplishment. J. C. started making applesauce from her harvest of apples on her land, which turned out to a booming baby food business.Now, she has an offer to be back part of the metropolis life and make millions to sell her baby food business. J.

However, as she heads back towards the conference room to give her decision, she sees everyone racing frantically and are rete ntiveness what she will give up with this decision.J. C runs her business at her pace, around her schedule, is her own boss, has a crib and a mobile in her office in Vermont, where Elizabeth is apart of her day the whole while. She turns down the millions of dollars and the city life she once loved, all for Elizabeth she was extremely attached and she had new priorities.
