The film writers, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, supposedly based this film loosely on their personal experiences during their own awkward teenage years. Though I’m not sure how true this actually is, the film is excellently written. There is sensitivity in superbad that other teen movies such as American Pie don’t achieve, this gives the film heart. This is also the main reason that Superbad works so well, it gets away with being immature and crude by using well-written and well-acted parts to create a sense of vulnerability and loveable geeky awkwardness in the three main characters, who constantly attempt to appear cool and confident, particularly around their high school crushes, desperately fabricating stories, with hilarious
To show that he believes that young love inevitably results into tragedy, Juliet and Romeo die. When Romeo goes to see Juliet, after being chased by helicopters, she is surrounded by hundreds of candles. Lurhmann uses this technique to engage the audience and keep true to Shakespeare’s original version of Romeo and Juliet. Lurhmann’s version of Romeo and Juliet was so successful because after hearing the prologue the stereotypical male would like to watch it because it has violence and the stereotypical female would is engaged because she knows there will be romance in the film when she hears, “A pair of star-crossed
It is the classic tale of “you want what you can’t have”. I love that the movie has a romance among the mystery but it’s bothersome to see such a wonderful woman throw herself helplessly at someone who is blind to what he has. It almost makes you hate Jefferies a little, from a girl’s perspective
“Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is one of the best plays written in English literature. It illustrates a universal truth about humanity; humans are very impulsive and foolish beings. It is a classic and tragic tale with a lot of truth about life. “Romeo and Juliet” shows us how impulsive and foolish human beings are. Romeo and Juliet, both were young teenagers and they meet one night and fall deeply in love.
However, the most incredible of all these passages is found in Act 4, Scene 1, Lines 164-177, where Macbeth contemplates his inner thoughts to himself. Here, Macbeth speaks to time, providing the audience with a more in depth image of its importance. Also, Macbeth’s diction is short and fierce, further pushing the play’s theme of insanity slowly taking over Macbeth’s mind. Lastly, the passage faultlessly illustrates Macbeth’s fatal flaw of ambition slowly ruining his inner being. With these things taken into account, it will be effortless for one to show just how lovely this passage is
Ultimately, The Birds short story by Daphne Du Maurier had the best carried element of suspense at the point in humanity when horror was less prevalent. Intermittently, the plots of The Birds, film and story, touch base rarely and the anecdote reels the viewer in much stronger than the movie. Daphne Du Maurier ushers one through her world with three strengths that Alfred Hitchcock did not have, partially because he was too focused on the plot, and partly because he did not read the piece- he skimmed it. As an artist, one can say that both had strengths and weaknesses, however, The Birds short story planted suspense thoroughly in the mind of the perceiver in ways the movie didn’t. Blatantly, Alfred Hitchcock introduces his movie with a shot of cawing birds, establishing suspense, and then drops the audience on their rears, stranded with a few shots of squawking birds.
Who is beautiful, kind and clever. The perfect wife I hear you say , exactly she is fake! Niccol has ingeniously given the film a much more deep plot, which I would have thought would put Carrey out of his comfort zone, but evidently not. The Truman show, is a satire of modern media. Truman thinks he ives and ordinary life as an ordinary man, but has no idea how his life is being manipulated to suit the viewer.
The model of the tragic hero and heroine has enthralled audiences from antiquity to date . Few , if any themes are more fascinating than seeing a larger than life character pursue an errant action which results in personal catastrophe , only to be reborn through the trial by fire and restored to great status . Even when predictable the portrayal of the concepts of reversal of fortune , results of arrogance , lessons learned and redemption can add electric suspense to otherwise-dull plots Sophocles and Shakespeare will always be premier masters of their craft their creations Antigone and Othello will always stand as emblematic of the dramatic tragic hero . Othello 's pathetic reaction to a fiction created to cause him harm pales in comparison to Antigone 's action in response to what she knows is an evil royal edict . Antigone , a true and more convincing heroine , is able to die proud of her actions while Othello can take only horrific regret to his grave Antigone 's tragic life has been predestined by her parentage she asks her sister Ismene .can you think of any of all the evils that stem from Oedipus that Zeus does not bring to pass for us , while we yet live (Sophocles 181 .
After being tricked by Don John into thinking that Hero is unfaithful to Claudio, by witnessing Hero (actually Margaret) having an affair with Borachio, Don Pedro and Claudio are determined to embarrass Hero in front of the whole crowd at the wedding. Upset and angered that his friend has been betrayed, Don Pedro exclaims, “What should I speak? I stand dishonour’d, that have gone about to link my dear friend to a common stale” (Shakespeare 48-49). At this point in the play, the reader has already seen multiple examples of how Don Pedro’s acts of kindness towards his close friend have gone horribly wrong. Don Pedro’s loyalty towards his friend Claudio has portrayed him as an insensitive character regarding his comments about Hero.
Manipulation At It’s Best Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is a play about love and manipulation. It is a clever comedy that has people fighting and celebrating over the misconception of love within a kingdom. I think this is a classic Shakespeare piece that was sure to bring out a smile in everybody reading and watching the play. The play begins with the return of two soldiers, Claudio and Benedick, from a war that they have been fighting in. Claudio soon after confesses his love to the Governor’s daughter, Hero, during a masked party.
