This was my solution to a homework assignment in a Software Engineering course -- create a "pattern" document for something in real life. Based on the POSA books, this documents the "kid movie review for parents" pattern, using a review I wrote of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) as the example.

Week 5 Instructor GuidanceOne of the topics we’ve been talki.docxcockekeshia
Week 5 Instructor Guidance
One of the topics we’ve been talking about throughout this course is how we can track both the personal and societal impact of film. In fact, your Week One Introduction post asked you to consider this issue and, as we progressed through the class and learned new terminology--new ways of looking at film, we were able to reconsider and develop our perspectives on this.
Both of your discussion posts this week touch on this issue, and it comes up in relation to your final written assignment as well.
While everything we’ve learned has helped us develop a critical capacity for talking about film, deepening our appreciation of the medium itself, ultimately our understanding of the (sometimes very personal) way film intersects with society is the key to unlocking another layer to the material from this course.
Students sometimes wonder about this course, asking how the material directly impacts their study of a chosen major. Students may even go a step beyond that and ask about how the material they've been studying has bearing on their anticipated career field at all!
That's why it's important to take a step back, away from the camera, away from the specifications of shots or the varying aspects of cinematography. It's time to pull our eyes away from the screen and look around at the world that surrounds us. We should be able to identify and consider the many ways film can impact society . . . as well as how society may impact film! In this way, we can start to consider how we can apply what we've learned in this class!
A recent study conducted by the University of Rochester (NY) finds that watching and discussing movies about relationships is as effective in lowering divorce rates as other, more intensive, early marriage counseling programs! Watch this video presentation.
Follow this link for more information about the study, and to download information about the films the couples watched, as well as the different questions the researchers asked the couples to reflect on after they watched specific movies.
As you reflect on your own journey in this class--how you watch movies and the kinds of impacts that films can have on people--try to think deeply about the many ways we engage with film and what it can really mean to us in our majors, in our careers, and in our lives!
Many of the movies we respond to are made for mostly for entertainment. No matter their artistic value, or how intelligent the plot may be, the main goal is to find an audience and get them to pay money to watch what unfolds onscreen. Individual members of the creative team--the director, the writer, specific actors--might have other more lofty aims, but at the root there is a basic economic principle at work.
Therefore, it would be easy to write these films off and focus more exclusively on documentaries or smaller budget movies made by guerilla filmmakers who aren't tied to the money making Hollywood scheme of things. We could focus on films that try.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

1. Online Kid-Safe Movie Reviews
Steve Nuchia
Pattern Name:
Online Kid-Safe Movie Review Pattern
Aliases:
None at this time
2. Movie Pattern
Problem:
Parents need relevant information on which to base
movie choices for their children.
Context:
Movies are made for and promoted to children. The
children also experience peer pressure to see the
latest movies. Parents have neither time nor desire
to pre-screen movies, so they rely on published
reviews. The information they need, however, is
different from that in a traditional movie review.
3. Movie Pattern: Forces
Forces:
●
Promotion and peer pressure create a desire to see
movies among children.
●
Parents want their children to have a variety of
positive experiences, including appropriate
movies.
●
Allowing kids to see movies provides gives
parents a break.
4. Movie Pattern: Forces
●
For reasons that are not entirely clear, the makers
of children's movies often include elements that
are objectionable to many parents.
●
Parents have idiosyncratic ideas about what
constitutes an objectionable element in a movie.
●
Parents do not have time to conduct extensive
research on and pre-screening of movies.
●
The need to make a decision on a movie may
arise at inconvenient times, e.g. when a video is
to be shown at a friend's sleepover.
5. Movie Pattern: Solution
Solution:
A comprehensive collection of movie reviews,
written in a consistent style and available online,
provides parents with the factual information they
need to make a go/no-go decision about a movie.
Each review publisher chooses a set of content
categories and parents seek out review sites that
consistently provide accurate information about
the content categories most important to them.
6. Movie Pattern: Solution
Categories universally include
– Sexuality (overt and suggested. Nudity may be a
separate category or included here.)
– Violence (including gore, weapons may be a separate
category or included here)
– Language (generally focused on words, may include
attitudes toward authority figures, etc)
– Substance use (alcohol and drugs, overt or suggested.
Often differentiates between accepted/condemned
depictions.)
7. Movie Pattern: Solution
Categories may also include
and may include some of these:
– Spiritual or religious elements (+ attitudes towards)
– Criminal or antisocial behaviors (accepted or
condemned)
– Racial or ethnic depictions, intolerance, and attitudes
displayed toward such.
Timeliness: to be a useful resource, the reviews
need to be available when children become aware of
the movie. The reviews can’t be works of art.
8. Movie Pattern: Solution
A kid-safe movie review contains the following
elements, generally in this order:
1) A content-at-a-glance summary, giving a semi-
quantitative score on each of several core content
categories. Variants include
bar chart, color-coded, or iconic display
tabulation (more comprehensive category list)
Numeric one-to-N scale or verbal equivalent
e.g. Violence: none/mild/extensive/extreme
9. Movie Pattern: Solution
2) A plot summary, emphasising the elements used
to create and resolve dramatic tension. Because
almost anything dramatic has the potential to upset
some people, the plot summary should give a
concise, perceptive, and unbiased description of the
entire film. Balancing these requirements is
obviously a challenge.
3) An unbiased subjective appraisal, focusing on the
thematic content of the film. Some indication of the
artistic merits of the work may be appropriate, but
parents need to know what message is embedded in
the plot. Many reviews rate the adult-appeal here.
10. Movie Pattern: Solution
4) A comprehensive breakdown of the content of the
film, by content category. For each of the categories
established by the publisher, a concise and factual
enumeration of the events in the film is given.
This allows a parent to apply fine-grained judgement
in borderline cases, something they have to do a lot
of. For instance, a parent may decide that the
handgun suicide in The Dead Poets Society is
handled appropriately but the shotgun killing spree
in The Frighteners is overdone. To make that
decision without seeing the movies, a parent needs
to know not just what happened but how it relates to
the plot and theme of the movie.
11. Movie Pattern: Solution
Another example: there is a very powerful partial
nudity scene in Witness. This is, in my opinion, the
exception that proves the rule: a nude scene that is
not gratuitous. Many parents of adolescent boys
might disagree. Making decisions like that is their
job. The reviewer’s job is to give them the
information they need to make it well.
The attitudes of the characters toward a potentially
objectionable element and the thematic role of that
element are relevant and require a critic’s
judgement.
In addition to the defined content categories, a catch-
all paragraph for miscellaneous observations is part
12. Resulting Context
Resulting Context:
Parents are able to obtain the information they need,
when they need it. They are able to apply their own
criteria to the content of the movie, as described by
the reviewer, rather than relying on the reviewer to
make value judgments on their behalf.
If the format is too rigidly followed by too many
reviewers, the potential exists that movie makers
would attempt to slip objectionable material through
gaps in the categorization scheme. Diversity and
common sense among the reviews is needed.
13. Movie Reviews: Rationale
●
Traditional reviews are aimed at the intended
audience. They focus on quality rather than
suitability. When objectionable content is an
issue it is usually because it is distracting or
perhaps because the element is not gratuitous.
●
A parent does not need to know the art-history
context of a film, nor how the actors' careers will
be affected by this role, nor that the black-and-
white version is better. Come on, we're talking
Pokemon IV here.
14. Movie Reviews: Rationale
●
In addition to age-graduated moral and political
rules, parents are interested in safeguarding their
kids' emotional health. The plot devices used to
create dramatic tension in children's movies may
not be objectionable most of the time, but may be
inappropriate to specific children in times of
stress. For example, many movies aimed at
'tweens deal with separation of parents. Seeing
The Parent Trap or Stepmom while trying to
come to grips with a real-life separation is
probably a bad idea.
15. Movie Reviews
Known Uses:
Has also been applied to music and books for kids.
Consider adapting this pattern when go/no-go
decisions are made by proxies based on diverse
criteria.

Plot summary: Spirit is a young male wild horse
who is captured by cavalrymen in the era of
western expansion. He struggles against captivity
and their attempts to “break” him. Reluctantly
cooperating with a young captured Indian, they
break free. Spirit is gently but effectively
captured by the Indian and we are introduced to
village life.
18. Example: Spirit
●
The mare owned by the boy is used to control
Spirit, but Spirit is unbreakable even for the
Indian boy and is eventually released. He then
witnesses but is unable to prevent a cavalry attack
on the village. The mare is gravely injured and
Spirit is forced to abandon her.
●
He attempts to locate and rejoin the herd, but is
recaptured and transported to be used in railroad
construction. He breaks free, causing havoc and
destruction in the process. Meanwhile, the Indian
boy has been looking for him and finds Spirit just
in time to help him make good his escape.
19. Example: Spirit
●
In the chase scene that results, the cavalry officer
develops a grudging respect for the horse and boy
and prevents their being shot at the last minute.
●
Spirit is reunited with the mare, who survived
without explanation, and they are set free. Spirit
rejoins to herd to assume his birthright as their
leader.
20. Example: Spirit
●
Theme
●
The dominant thematic element is “indominable
spirit”. The title character allows himself to be
ridden but cannot be forced to do so. This could
be seen as laying the groundwork for an
abstinence message later in a child’s life.
●
Sexuality
●
The only sexual content is the conventional boy-
meets-girl story between the two horses. The use
of the mare to corral Spirit may be seen as
objectionable but it is not overplayed.
21. Example: Spirit
●
Violence
●
The initial attempts to break Spirit’s spirit involve
elements of ritualized combat and torture. The
scene in which Spirit causes the locomotive to
slide down the mountainside involves grave
danger to humans and animals. The attack on the
village and the final chase involve actual combat
and the deliberate use of firearms with intent to
kill at a distance. Results of violence are not
graphically depicted and, except for the
disruption and dispersal of the village, the impact
of overt violence is minimized.
22. Example: Spirit
●
Spiritual/Religious
●
No overt religious content and no spiritual
context for the thematic elements. A generalized
animistic spiritualism, primarily represented by
an eagle who’s primary role is to denote the
pristine natural world, is detectable a detectable
but not heavy-handed presence. In particular, no
attempt is made to connect it with Indian spiritual
observance or beliefs.
23. Example: Spirit
●
Diversity and Political Correctness
●
Graphic elements connoting black slavery are used to
differentiate free and subjugated horses, particularly in the
initial capture scene and in the train ride sequence. White
men are universally bad (though not evil), Indians are
universally good (though not necessarily wise).
●
Miscellaneous
●
Nothing comes to mind
●
Summary
●
An Instant Animated Classic, Spirit is watchable for adults
but not a must-see. Acceptable by most standards for
children of any age.
