I AgReE

Andrew Moss Says that Raising Arizonia is Psychograpic. In order for me to agree with him I had tounderstand what that word meant and apply it to the movie. The dictionary describes psychograpic as being :A graphic representation or chart of the personality traits of an individual or group.

I agree that Raising Arizon is defiantly a movie showing Hi’s different personalities. Today I came to an conclusin that the whole movie is a dream. Hi has been dreaming all of the events that has taken place. During his dream the Coen brothers exaggerate H.I’s longing to be different than what he alreay is. H.I’s dream is the graphic of his own personalities. The dream shows how much H.I is struggling with him self but really doesnt know it until the end of his dream.

Most may disagree that it is not a psychographic flim because they dont see how H.I has a personality issue. Smalls, I beleive is a representation of H.I’s other personality. The Coen Brothers clearly show the two fighting eachother, because H.I in reality is really fighting himself to be good or to continue on the path that he was on before he marreied ED.

There are also many other events that happen in the film to show that this a psychographic film. I think that the two brothers that escaped from prison is also another personality of H.I. During the movie the Coen brothers represented H.I’s character as being all these different people that he was or wants to become.
