Bull Durham To The True Meaning Of The First Fight Scene...

Bull Durham: To the True Meaning of The First Fight Scene nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The theme of this paper is to dissect the first fight scene; in the movie Bull Durham, between Crash Davis; who is played by Kevin Costner; and quot;Nukequot; LaLoosh; who is played by Tim Robbins. The fight takes place in a bar scene between these two men who have never met before. The reason for the fight is that Crash Davis is talking to a women by the name of Annie Savoy who is sitting at one of the tables. Nuke already believes that Annie is going to be with him all season long, but Crash believes otherwise. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;In the beginning of the scene Nuke is dancing with all of the women in the bar while Crash is sitting alone†¦show more content†¦Finally, Nuke becomes so upset that he throws the ball at Crash, but misses and ends up breaking a window. Crash looks at the hole that Nuke just made and say ball four. When Crash says this, Nuke comes at him and tries to punch him. Before he can, Crash punches him right in the nose and causes him to fall to the ground. After Crash knocks him to the ground, he introduces himself to Nuke as his new catcher and helps him up. In the end, Crash invites Nuke back inside for a beer and to talk. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The number of communicational concepts that appear in this short interaction is very high. The mental distractions that are present in this argument are factual distractions and semantic distractions. A factual distraction occurs when someone focuses so intently on details that they miss the main point. This is exactly what Crashs intentions were when he was trying to make fun on Nuke in front the rest of the baseball team. Nuke was so angry at Crash for calling him names and insulting him that he could not hit Crash with the baseball. The other mental distraction that occurs is semantic. A semantic distraction occurs when someone over responds to an emotion-laden word or concept. Crash also brings this upon Nuke when Crash says to Nuke quot;Your just pissing away that million dollar body of yours with that five cent head.quot; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Another very common event in todays society is stereotyping.
