  • INTRODUCTION Fatal Attraction and Scarface
    1 introduction Fatal Attraction and Scarface How We Think about Movies People respond to movies in different ways, and there are many reasons for this. We have all stood in the lobby of a theater and heard conflicting opin- ions from people who have just seen the same film. Some loved it, some were annoyed by it, some found it just OK. Perhaps we’ve thought, “Well, what do they know? Maybe they just didn’t get it.” So we go to the reviewers whose business it is to “get it.” But often they do not agree. One reviewer will love it, the next will tell us to save our money. What thrills one person may bore or even offend another. Disagreements and controversies, however, can reveal a great deal about the assumptions underlying these varying responses. If we explore these assumptions, we can ask questions about how sound they are. Questioning our assumptions and those of others is a good way to start think- ing about movies. We will soon see that there are many productive ways of thinking about movies and many approaches that we can use to analyze them. In Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1992), the actor playing Bruce Lee sits in an American movie theater (figure 1.1) and watches a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) in which Audrey Hepburn’s glamorous character awakens her upstairs neighbor, Mr Yunioshi. Half awake, he jumps up, bangs his head on a low-hanging, “Oriental”-style lamp, and stumbles around his apart- ment crashing into things.

Plaintiff Buhl Building, LLC (“Buhl”) brings this action against Defendants Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (“Commonwealth”) and Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) (collectively, the “Defendants”). Buhl purchased a title insurance policy (the “Contract”) from Commonwealth. FNF is Commonwealth’s parent corporation. The Court has reviewed the Contract and notes that FNF is not a signatory to that agreement. Buhl initiated this civil action by filing a complaint (the “Complaint”). In the Complaint, Buhl alleges that Commonwealth and FNF, working together, failed to provide clean title to a potential buyer of the Buhl’s building and failed to indemnify Buhl. As a result, Buhl contends that Commonwealth and FNF (i) breached the Contract,1 and (ii) acted in bad faith.
