When it comes to films, people either see it for entertainment or for something with a meaning/lesson behind it. Ava DuVernay's films usually contain a lesson or a certain meaning behind them as well as providing entertainment to an extent. In the movie "Middle of Nowhere" it is uncommon to see many adult dramas that move you and feel a sense of accomplishment. It is attuned to real people and their complex problems, and emotions you can relate to without regards to the race of the characters involved. The story is so realistic of what happens to a wife and a married to a husband that is sent to prison takes its subject too serious to over dramatize it. The film shows the viewer the path of self-actualization. Having to find yourself when you feel trapped in the middle of nowhere emotionally going on a quest that allows for no shortcuts or simple solutions. Films such as these give viewers a different or understanding perspective on how different/similar people's lives can be. Movies don't always have to be overly dramatic or filled with action to be compelling. Movies such as Selma, The Pursuit of Happiness, and Rocky gives viewers a sense of inspiration for everyone to understand.
