Many things in life can mark the beginning of maturity. Becoming mature is like another door opening in your life. The film "Coach Carter" is based on a true story. It shows how young boys can become men with the influence of one individual. It shows how somebody can change your life. The term"respect" is the main key in the movie which made a difference in each of the students. Also the film "The Game Plan" associates with a football player who doesn't have any idea that he has a daughter. The love between the two grows incredibly throughout the film. It shows whats more important in life and that family comes first.
In the film "Coach Carter", based on a true story, young black African American boys lived in a little place called Richmond. These boys had no sense of responsibility or respect. They didn't care about school, their grades or any other sort of important thing in their lives. They thought this high school journey of theirs would be a walk through with no rules or discipline until they got a new basketball coach. His name was Coach Carter. When these young African American boys had met their new coach, they gave him no respect at all, used slang words such as "nigga" which they said to him and threatened him that they weren't afraid of him and could take him out. Unfortunately they did not end up getting their way this time. Coach Carter made them run multiple times more than they did before and taught them to call everyone "sir" because it is a form of respect. These boys developed to grow mature day by day by the help of their new coach. They only won four games last season with their old coach, but this year, Coach Carter trained them to the ultimate amount and they got to the state championship. Coach Carter had used many different techniques to accomplish his goal, if he was ever talked back to, he would make the player run 500-100 suicides and do 1000-2000 push ups. Having respect for the coach and everyone else is what brought these young boys to a much different level. When Coach Carter came to teach basketball at Richmond High School. The Coach made the players sign contracts which required them to maintain a grade point average at 2.8, attend all classes and sit in the front row of those classes, wear suits and tie on game days, and they must pass all classes in order to play. When the coach found out more than half of his players were failing, he put a lock on the gym door, called their teachers, and helped them achieve their goal because he wanted his players to go to college. When he used to play for the Richmond team, most of his team mates ended up in jail or dead and he wanted to make a difference. Until these boys reached their goal of achieving the grade the Coach insisted on, the gym remained locked. They put lots of hard effort and time into it and finally they reached that goal and never gave up. Coach Carter said "I came to coach basketball players, and you became students, I came to teach boys, and you became men". The results show that Coach Carter made a difference and matured these men within time. Respect was the main key in order to have achieved this goal.
In the film "The Game Plan", Joe Kingman, the NFL quarterback is living the bachelor lifestyle until he discovered he has an eight year old daughter from a previous relationship. Joe had no idea about him having a daughter, he was living the life with a fancy house, car and a girlfriend. Having parties almost every night was what kept Joe going and made him believe that it was the key to life and nothing else could get better than that. He had his terrific friends and the entire city that thought greatly of him. Although one of his friends is married with kids, he shows him that family is more important than having parties and that the love from your family is never replaceable with anything else. Joe Kingman's daughter is Peyton. She was suppose to go to ballet school because her aunt Kiran had to go to away on a trip. Peyton's birth mother, Sarah, passed away in a terrible accident. Peyton tricked her aunt Kiran by saying she's going to ballet school but she went to stay with her father. The day she showed up at Joe Kingman's door, and told him, he was in a sudden shock. He thought it had to be a mistake. Joe thought to himself that his life was over now, but really it was just the beginning of a new chapter. Joe's friend who also has kids loved Peyton and wanted Joe to realize how special it is to have your own kids. When Kiran found out that Peyton was staying with Joe, she rushed back from her trip. Peyton had ate nuts which caused an allergic reaction and Peyton ended up in the hospital. Her aunt Kiran showed up at the hospital and was furious. This made Joe realize that his daughter is the best thing that has ever happened to him because Peyton constantly asked Joe what was the best thing that has ever happened to you. Kiran did not let Joe keep Peyton because he had her for 3 weeks and she was already in the hospital. When Peyton left, Joe became lonely and missed her incredibly. This made him play poorly at his big game. When Peyton showed up, his face lit with joy. He got to keep his daughter. This marks maturity because in the beginning Joe did not want anything to do with Peyton and as they grew together, the love between them became strong and showed that family is more important than having a reality lifestyle.
It is evident that in "Coach Carter", the boys grew up with no respect at all, and by having a new basketball coach, it taught them many different things such as calling everyone "sir" because it is a form of respect, maintaining good grades and going to college. If it was not for the coach, these boys could be in jail or dead, having a new coach marked maturity because he taught them the how to be more respectful. In "The Game Plan", having a daughter could change your life but it also starts a brand new chapter in your life. When Joe Kingman first found out, he was appalled. He wished it to be a mistake, but throughout the film, they grew together and love bonded between them. He always wanted her to with him. This marked maturity because family is more important than having a paparazzi life.
