The episode opens with Kyle Broflovski accepting an award for giving a speech supporting Caitlyn Jenner and then Caitlyn showing up and whisking Kyle away in a car only to run someone down with the car.

the world. This vulgarity and intolerance is most notable in the character Cartman, who is extremely offensive in his thoughts, ideas, and actions. The show does, however, provide a balance to Cartman’s antics through his co-stars Stan and Kyle. Stan, and Kyle almost always stand up to Cartman and ridicule his intolerance, thereby creating a view of intolerance for intolerance. This intolerance for intolerance is the part of the show which redeems it, and should silence the critics. Unfortunately
Eric Theodore Cartman is a fictional cartoon character in the second longest running cartoon ever made; “South Park”. Eric is a cynical, overweight child that often assumes the position of an antagonist in episodes, demonstrating that he will stop at no costs to get what he wants, even if it means intentionally harming his “friends”. Eric lives with his mother in South Park and has never had a relationship with his father or even met him. It was established in season two that Cartman’s mother, Liane
This week on South Park, Whole Foods 'charity-shames' and political correctness executes reality. In this week's episode entitled "Safe Space," a perfect blend of personal and political grievances with 2015 America are aired by show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The two main topics in this show were the very public 'Anti-Shaming' campaigns from many special interest groups and the very specific and personal problem of cashiers at Whole Foods who are a little too insistent about you donating
Among all the movies I have watched, the one that caught my attention the most was Green Lantern. This is because of the metaphorical way in which it shows class struggle, the characteristics of the power given to the main character, the imagination, creativity and suspense shown in the movie and the maturation of the main character throughout the movie. My favorite movie, Green Lantern directed by Martin Campbell, is a Science fiction and action movie that shows the life of a human test plane pilot
The movie “Gran Torino” has many instances of inequality. Inequality in the United States of America is a problem that has been around and will continue to be around until the United States no longer exists. Since Clint Eastwood’s character, Walt Kowalski, is a racist, inequality abounds in this movie. The movie shows the interactions Walt has with his grandchildren and, more importantly, the Hmong people. Walt has a problem communicating with any non-white person. He is wildly inappropriate and

I. INTRO Me and my brother Kyle, we were walking down this long and lonesome road, when all of a sudden there shined a shiny teacher, in the middle of the road, and she said, write the best speech in the world, or I’ll eat your soul. If you haven’t figured it out already I chose to do my speech on the great Thomas Black or better known as Jack Black. Actor, comedian, singer songwriter, and lead vocalist for tenacious D. How many people really know anything bout Jack Black, other than he has been
The movie, Gran Torino was released in 2008. The movie tells a story about a retired auto worker who was also a Korean War vet. The retired vet, Walt Kowalski who is played by Clint Eastwood has an empty life and fills his days with drinking beer, repairing his home, and despising the Asian, Black, and Latino families in the neighborhood. In the movie he becomes a reluctant hero when he stands up to the gangs who tried to force an Asian teen to steel Walt’s most prized position, his car. An unexpected
Blue Velvet: Scene Analysis The opening scene in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet portrays the theme of the entire film. During this sequence he uses a pattern of showing the audience pleasant images, and then disturbing images to contrast the two. The first shot of the roses over the picket fence and the title track “Blue Velvet” establishes the setting (Lumberton) as a typical suburban town. The camera starts on a bright blue sky with birds chirping and flying by and then tilts down to bright red
Getting old and aging are things that have become difficult points for many and despite the negative representation of the elderly in film, they do serve a purpose. On the big screen we continue to see many underpinnings of ageist assumptions when in fact many of the characters are strong figures that ‘Still have the Right Stuff”. Clint Eastwood dispels that myth and several significant scenes epitomize this concept in the movie hit Gran Torino (2008). Gran Torino (2008) exposes and defends against

Actor Paul Newman and Kyle and Pattie Petty are the founders of Victory Junction Gang Camp (VJG). The beautiful, natural setting for the VJG is seventy-two acres of land nestled in a hardwood forest
For the third and final paper film review, I decided to watch “Gran Torino” after I heard our class hyped it up and classmates said it is the best film about Hmong that has ever been released. I believe the representation of the Hmong characters in “Gran Torino” are closely aligned with stereotypical representations of Asian Americans. For instance, Sue and Thao, part of the family that live next door to Walt Kowalski, and most of the members of the Hmong characters in the film, are depicted as people
