Traveyon Armstrong Professor Dean ENG 102 February 6th 2014 Same Joke Different Day Now a days, we are finding comedy movies to still be funny but very repetitive of the same thing with the same jokes. It is starting to become really tough to see a good movie in generally, but in a narrow mind, its hard to see a good comedy movie. Yes, I understand everyone has a different opinion on what a “good” comedy movie is but based on reviews, asking peers, and personal judgment. I feel like everyone looks for first off a good cast, then the screen play, the movie script of the movie, the popularity of the movie by word of mouth, and how well it does in the box office. With a good cast, this will attract and push audiences away just based off of the cast. For example, reviews on the movie “Ride Alone.”, this is a terrible movie as far as comedy goes but since the stars in the movie are really famous for being funny, the movie is selling well just based off of that. This is unfair. But movies that are actual funny but aren’t as popular because the actors and actresses have an unfair ...

    This, however, demonstrates a fundamental difference between 'Fight Club' and 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest': the 1990's society 'no longer breeds a contempt for the virtues of individualism [...] on the contrary, totalitarianism now resides in a thorough dislike for all things social, public, and collective,' as Henry Giroux wrote. The positivity of Fight Club may lie primarily in that it is an unsanctioned, underground, counterculture collective.

    poster typically has the white cowboy large, presented front and center, with the antagonists and co-stars all behind him. An iconic western, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, has a poster picturing the white cowboy alone. Clint Eastwood stands there tall, stoic, and singular. Typical of most other westerns, the white cowboy is the center of attention. Here, however, there are two non-white figures presented: Bart, the Black cowboy, and a large Native American chief. This movie poster has the same style as other westerns with the color and layout, but is unique in the fact that a black man is presented where a white man would normally be dominating. Once again, this makes a statement about racial improvements. Previously having a black man at

    Many people might say that stars are merely a product of the Hollywood system needing to make a profit; Hollywood manufactures a product and creates the demand for it. A star's image is processed through advertisements and promotions and has little to do with what the audience wants and needs from entertainment. There is a widespread mentality that any Average Joe can become a star with enough resources backing him up. Richard Dyer points out, however, that even movies full of stars fail, and stars can and do fall out of fashion (12). A star's economic worth is not invulnerable to audiences' opinions. The audience isn't so easily controlled.

    The movie Doubt is set in a private Catholic School in 1960s. Sister Aloysius is the principal of the school, and Father Flynn is the clergyman in the church. While the movie deals with some moral dilemmas such as doubt versus certainty, rigidity versus openness and so on, the central theme of the story pivots on accusation on Father Flynn of child molestation. The story has a hanging ending where Father Flynn is proven neither guilty nor proven innocent. Based on the contents of the movie and my own analysis, I believe that certainty plays a bigger role in accusations and I believe that Father Flynn had been falsely blamed and I am also against the rigidity of the society.

While the camera zooms out, Fred stands alone motionless. Here, Fred is captured from a distance at eye-level and he becomes ostracized by the film industry and

  • Analysis Of The Film 'Bridesmaids'

    1671 Words  | 4 Pages

    For as long as there have been jokes, there have been people saying that women can’t tell them. For over a century figures in popular culture have publicly peddled this claim of misconception. In 1884 Richard Grant White, one of the most powerful cultural critics of the 19th century, wrote, “a sense of humor is the rarest qualities in a women”, to Jerry Lewis in 1998 stating he “cannot sit and watch a lady diminish her qualities to the lowest common denominator”, and more recently in 2012 Adam Carolla, arguing, “The Reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks” (Moss). If there is anything that can put these men in their place it is the cinematic success of Paul Feig’s 2011 film Bridesmaids. Since its release, the film has been nominated for 24 different awards, won 6, and has generated over $288 million in sales worldwide, making it the highest-grossing-R-rated female comedy of all time (Buckley 5). Bridesmaids, thus, represents how the symbol of women in the space of cinema is being challenged and changed.
