Frankie and Johnny
Frankie and Johnny was, well, different. When one begins the film, one first thinks that Frankie and Johnny will be a formula love story. Well it is in some sense, but is also is not. Frankie and Johnny is much more complex than it first appears to be. Frankie, having gone through an abusive relationship, must overcome her fear of an intimate relationship. Johnny on the other hand, must overcome his problem with lonliness. Through cooking, Johnny has found a start out of his dilemma. His goal in this movie, is to help Frankie find her own start. We can see Johnny's influence on Frankie, in how she encourages him to see his children who he has not seen in three years. It is how Frankie and Johnny find their "start" which makes Frankie and Johnny a successfull movie.
