Introduction: Tell us which movie you choose to watch and why you choose that movie. Next BRIEFLY describe the plot of the movie ? no more than 250 words.

Body: Here you will relate the movie to Communication Theories about Conflict as described in Chapter 10. Choose 3-5 concepts from Chapter 10 that you will demonstrate your understanding of by giving specific examples of those behaviors found in the movie. Use APA documentation to cite the concepts from the text, but be sure to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts by describing them in your own words.
