Film Review: "Enough"

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the film "Enough" is a story about domestic violence. The paper summarizes the plot of the movie and discusses the movie's message that abusive actions should never be tolerated by women and children. The paper concludes that, although the film's portrayal of domestic violence is realistic, it offers a negative approach to dealing with the problem. The movie conveys the message that, because the abuser will never stop, the abused cannot rely on police protection or shelters but are better off by running away and preparing for an attack on the perpetrator.

From the Paper:

"Neglect is when parents fail to ensure a child's health and well-being and may result from not providing a child with appropriate shelter, schooling, clothing, medical care, or protection from hazards. Meanwhile, psychological abuse is a pattern of intentional verbal or behavioral actions or lack of actions that convey to a child the message that he or she is worthless, flawed, unloved, unwanted, endangered, or only of value to meet someone else's needs."
