There is a fine line between making fun of or mocking an individual with a mental disability and actually truthfully acting out how someone is with a real disability. Again, Hoffman does this very well and does not make the viewer feel as if he is making fun of anyone at all. Tom Cruise also plays his role very well, showing almost no remorse or sympathy towards his brother, Raymond, when they first meet. It takes a certain type of person to be able to act that out completely and make it believable. The entire topic of the movie is a very sensitive one, so Cruise was exceptional in making the viewer believe that he truly just wanted to get his half of the money from Raymond, and not build a relationship with him.
But in the end I feel the best category to place this play under is a farce comedy, because of how fast the plot unfolds, how unpredictable and improbable the plot is, and the variety of different humor. And finally, there is no way that Mabel would ever continue to pursue a guy who chose a washing machine over
I really enjoyed how the writers used words that anyone could understand but used that so they had a really profoundly meaning. There were some parts that had the characters hallucinating and I could not tell the real from the things they made up in their heads. I have always been interested in stories of survival. I thought the best thing about this book is that these are the most outrageous tales I have ever heard but I know they are based on true stories and real people. You can’t get better then the truth.
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.
Furthermore, Daphne Du Maurier stresses important details so the suspense is evident. The film had difficulty portraying the thematic element of hyperbole because in a movie one can only shine so much light upon one subject without blurting out the obvious. There are several reasons it is so imperative that one has good use of hyperbole in media. One reason it is brilliant to use hyperbole and raw repetition is that the viewer can be of
I'm much more of a "genre" fan, and I much prefer fantasy, surrealism and absurdism to realism. My preconceptions were throwing me off of the film initially. The realist drama stuff seemed to drag on, and it made much of the film a hard sell. I loved the touches of weirdness, but they were too little, too far between--at least until I reached my personal interpretation of the film around the halfway mark. The film is also odd in that it's so retro.
Some as if it were uncontrollable some could not hold back something they felt had to be said. I get that some of these people are or were very excited unknown to me because a neurological disorder. Such as the case of Witty Ticcy Ray. At the time interaction with some of these people it was difficult for me to sort out. Most of the time I try to understand how I feel about some people I encounter.
He uses the words “paralyzed by wonder” to explain his situation (23). These chosen words are not normally used to describe one's marvel, but in Abbey's case it works. The word paralyzed tends to have a negative connotation since it is typically used to describe bad situations, such as someone afraid and helplessly unable to act. With the word wonder having a positive connotation, it starkly contrasts from its neighboring word. By using “paralyzed by wonder” Abbey must mean that the dance was so fantastic that it captivated him and kept him unable to move (23).
The easy way is often referred to as the wrong way and in some cases this is true, such as when Victor ignored his creation. By not facing his fears he was granted the absence of the monster, but only contributed to emanate problem just on the horizon. Victor’s tone of boastful arrogance soon turned to forlorn warning when he “Had finished and saw, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled his heart” (Shelley, 42). A fantastic example of the “easy way out” could be found in The Importance of Being Earnest. As Jack quickly finds out, lying about your true name to win the girl of your dreams can be successful, but also have consequences.
N : Haiz… Do you see Minions in “Despicable Me” ? T : Of course. Minions are very stupid but so cute. N : Yes, and Minions is very popular but in Despicable Me, they’re just figurant. So Illumination Entertainment decides to make a movie talks only about Minions.
