Nurses in Film, Nurses in Movies, Nurses Portrayed Positively in Movies.

I analyze the body language of characters in film and recommend four films that show the main characters, nurses who show calmness in the face of adversity and danger. The nurses in the first two films move slowly and deliberately, their facial expressions remain subdued and unruffled, and their voices are, for the most part, are spoken at a low volume with slight vocal variation or stress, and their breathing is steady. They show a soft empathetic shift when dealing with the death of a patient.

This calmness makes their shift to anger when they feel patients are at risk, more dramatic, and shows that they will fight and show their full power. Interestingly, I have seen that calm to anger shift to show that nurses care in other films.

The first is a classic film that I first saw as a child that showed me that I, as a female could one day do a great thing, The Lady with the Lamp. Later came the film, Florence Nightingale. The fourth film Angels in America shows that and a certain sassiness as well as an ability to deal with grief and death in patients they cared for over a long period of time.

Body Language in LOVE IS BLIND reunion. Body Language of Shayne Jansen

Tuning into the Love Is Blind Season 2 reunion, nobody really knew what to expect. Were Shayne Jansen and Natalie Lee working things out? Had Mallory Zapata and Sal Perez reunited? Was Shake Chatterjee ready to apologize? Spoiler alert: No, no, and no. Although viewers might have been surprised by the way things turned out, the actual cast members seemed to know what was coming when they sat down together to discuss what went down. In particular, Shake seemed to know exactly how the conversation would go, and according to an expert, his body language during the Love Is Blind reunion was even “poised for war.”

Body language expert and author of Snap: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma Patti Wood explained that Shake appeared to “position himself for battle” during his explosive appearance on the reunion. When hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey questioned why he appeared on the show, Shake seemed to have a defense ready.

Wood notices that Shake sat “out and forward on the couch with his upper leg and knee outward.” Per her, this is a common “alpha male position,” that signifies that he was preparing for a fight. Here’s how she breaks it all down.

ICYMI, a lot of the criticism of Shake has to do with his treatment of Deepti Vempati, his ex-fiancée. During the show, he regularly talked about how he wasn’t sexually attracted to her — though he rarely opened up to her with such candor. During the reunion, he defended himself by saying, “We all have our physical preferences.”

And although that might not sound too controversial, his body language added an extra layer of aggression to the statement. When he said that, he flung his hand out. Per Wood, “That forward hand motion is aggressive. It’s a call. It’s a plea that ‘this is true for everybody.’”

Though Shake may have wanted his castmates to agree with him, their body language made it clear that he was on his own. While he spoke about love being “blurry” instead of blind, Deepti appeared to have a “micro-facial cue of rage,” per Wood. “She leaned back, pushed her head back, and closed her eyes,” Wood explains. “As if to say, this was so exasperating.”
