Yet Moore's ego is entertainingly punctured when he is shown as a smug liberal martyr attempting to destroy Team America's headquarters - by rigging himself up as a suicide bomber. Again, a breathtaking moment of offensiveness: a veritable chain-mail fist through the paper-screen of celebrity correctness. It wasn't that long ago that Michael Moore, in his anti-gun documentary Bowling for Columbine, was interviewing Matt Stone, and generally praising him to the skies as a fellow satirist. And this is how he is repaid? Oh
Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer who killed about seventeen young males and boys. Most of the victims were African-American or other minorities, but they were also homosexuals. Dahmer, a 31-year-old good-looking man from Milwaukee, would cruise gay bars and choose his victims by their skin color (mostly dark), attractiveness, and their physique. Jeffrey Dahmer would lure them into his apartment and that’s where he would begin his infatuation with his supposedly new lover. Dahmer would perform some of the most horrifying acts a human being could ever commit.
Donnie Darko shows how the monstrous can be represented or misrepresented depending on the interpretation by the viewer. This is a film filled with elements of science fiction, horror and drama but does not come under one genre. Its appeal is in its eccentric way of telling a story, and its ambiguities of both the characters and the exploration of determinism and free will, sanity and insanity, loneliness and love. However it also rejects most common conventions having the main monstrous figure -Frank the bunny- also the one responsible to get Donnie (the protagonist) ready before the world ends, thus saving the original world by causing the destruction of the tangent world. It uses the story to convey its meaning primarily through dialogue and meticulous editing and leaves the majority of the interpretation of the film up to the viewer’s imagination.
On one hand we have “Dr. Strangelove” who makes us laugh about what we should be concerned and worried about, and the film transforms this horrible idea about the bomb and massive destruction into something funny and peculiar that we should accept as part of our normal life. In this film all the characters seems to be unreal and mentally insane. A human sickness is the one who determines when, where, and how we should drop a bomb. On the other hand, we have “Fail-Safe” that, from a very serious point of view, exposes the problematic of nuclear bombs.
Comparably to The story of Tom Brennan whereby the protagonist fails to adapt to his new paradigm due to immense social and emotional barriers, Norman Jewison’s biographical film The Hurricane demonstrates that coming in terms with inner fear and anxiety allows one to overcome the emotional barriers and enter into a new world that affords a greater self. The protagonist ‘Hurricane Carter’ is an infamous African-American boxer who faces a corrupt world of racial prejudice. He faces an unprecedented calamity of imprisonment due to false allegations of homicide. The close-up shots of his blood-teary eyes conveys an intense thirst for vengeance. Similarly to Tom Brennan, this leads him to face immense psychological barriers such as schizophrenia, fear and antisocialism, which accordingly breeds his hatred and hinders his transition to adapt to his new world.
By definition an honorable suicide is a process whereby a person commits suicide to escape the shame of an immoral action. In my opinion, the issue was the controversial incest aspect of remaking the film. American film goers gravitate towards action packed thrillers, horror or murder films, and on some occasions success is found in gore or torture pieces. Lee’s remake of South Korean and Japanese Classic don’t appeal to our society’s ideology. Consanguinity is the challenge and key issue that imitates the entire plot of the film.
Why So Serious?? “I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you a stranger”. Before looting the entire bank and wiping out his accomplices, those were the last words spoken by The Joker. The most discernible reason behind the resounding success of The Dark Knight which seem to have blockbust its way into the Box Office as one of the most popular film after Titanic, is the character of The Joker portrayed by the Late Heath Ledger. Over the years, Batman's greatest nemesis has undergone a multitude of changes.

At a first glance, you see indications that Inglorious Basterds might be a Tarantino film, with the title being inspired from a 1970’s B –film, The Inglorious Bastards.

He finds satisfaction in owning unique furniture in an expensive apartment. He finds entertainment in beating up other men in a fight club. In the novel Fight Club, the author, Chuck Palahniuk, creates a nameless character with multiple personality disorders. I will not be going deeply into explaining these disorders, but rather describing how the character exhibits qualities and symptoms of them throughout the novel. The narrator is not officially diagnosed with these conditions but he shows numerous indicators of having more than one.
