The Values Profile

The opening of "Final Destination" is extremely graphic and provocative. The title of the film; "Final Destination" immediately connects and provokes thoughts in the viewer about a journey which has to end. The opening credits and the title are written in bright lettering, on a dark background. As they come into focus, they split and become fragmented. The words take different paths and fade out. The film is about taking different paths and splitting up, but ultimately reaching the same fate.

Many individuals never question their fundamental value systems- they let them guide their decisions and influence their beliefs without much thought. Although some adolescents enter a "rebellious period", where they begin to question and challenge the values they were raised by, and are therefore involved in creating the values they live by in adulthood, many do not. In addition, even if someone did have a conscious phase where they questioned their values, they may now be so accustomed to their beliefs that they stop questioning them, and these beliefs have become so deep-seated that they are no longer thought of on a conscious level.
