This is separating the “star” from the person and letting the audience see that these famous actors really do live their own lives with their own problems. I liked how real old films were used in the movie of Adam Sandler as a child to make it more realistic. Another example the film is reflecting on reality is with Seth Rogen’s character. He is an up and coming comedian trying to make it, and he ends up becoming a famous comedian’s assistant which ultimately puts him in the limelight. Overall, I thought Funny People was a good movie that
The Laugh really sets the tone for comedy in the film by adding a lighter mood to seemingly somber situations. The first instance where we come across The Laugh is right at the begging of Dobbs, Curtin, and Howard’s adventure. Dobbs and Curtin are very new to this gold hunting game and after a few days they become exhausted and frustrated, as well as amazed at Howard's stamina. Howard makes fun of them and Dobbs tells him to shut up or he'll smash his head in. Howard then goes on rambling about how stupid they are and how they’d never leave this wilderness alive without him.
Even without seeing publicity material, the PG certificate and the choice of teen favourites Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder for lead roles evidently suggest that this is a film aimed at the teenage market. The casting of Vincent Price as the inventor is an allusion to the horror genre, a little joke which, unfortunately is appreciated by
GRIDIRON GANG The movie Gridiron Gang is a great movie which stars Dwayne ‘’The Rock’’ Johnson. Gridiron Gang is a movie that is action packed and a great movie for anyone in the family to watch. Gridiron gang is an inspiring movie that makes the viewer think that anything is possible if you put your mind to what you want to do. This movie has many great parts that makes the viewer stay in tip of their seat and thnk of what is going to happen later on in the movie. This movie has a great story line that is based on a true story that really went on not too long ago.
To me, this movie deals with the problems with time travel. The best thing I like is when old Joe can feel and know what the younger Joe is about to do. This in my mind would give an advantage to the older Joe if they battle among each other. There were a couple of times where I noticed that the audience was really into the movie. For an example, when Cid (played by Pierce Gagnon) got shot by older Joe all the audience were at the edge of their seats saying in there head ``DON’T DO IT!!``.
Adam Mertens Instructor: Lisa McClintock English 105 February 12, 2013 The greatest Speech ever made “The greatest speech ever made” is a speech that is Charlie Chaplin makes in his 1940 move The Great Dictator. The movie is a black and white slapstick comedy about a dictator and a barber who looks like the dictator and they get mistaken for each other one day. Chaplin gives this speech as an actor but gives a message to people in real life then and now. Charlie Chaplin effectively displays pathos more than ethos and logos in this powerful speech. The speech given in the movie is a powerful and serious one that is more than just a script to a movie, it is still remembered today and will be remembered for decades to come.
A fairy tale in realist drag, ?The Pursuit of Happyness? is the kind of entertainment that goes down smoothly until it gets stuck in your craw. Inspired by a true story, as they like to say in Hollywood, the film traces the fleeting ups and frightening downs of Chris Gardner, whose efforts to keep his family from sinking into poverty evolve into a life-and-death struggle of social Darwinian proportions. It?s the early 1980s, and while Ronald Reagan is delivering the bad economic news on television, Chris is about to prove you don?t need an army to fight the war on poverty, just big smiles and smarts, and really sturdy shoes. (It also helps that the star playing him is as innately sympathetic as Will Smith.)
Every audience who listened to these songs may have the same feelings as he did. The movie is not only interesting but also humane. It extols the relationship between humans and humans. The way people treated to others in the movie is praiseworthy. For instance, the Jewish captain helped Spilzman and his brother to avoid joining the army.
Miramax, hoping for a similar reaction on this side of the Atlantic, has been shouting from the rooftops, using big, splashy print ads and chaotic TV and theatrical spots to lure in their target audience. The danger is, of course, that Trainspotting's substance will get drowned by the marketing. "I chose not to choose life. I chose to choose something else," says the film's narrator and main character, a twenty-something Edinburgh man named Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), near the outset of Trainspotting. In rejecting the yuppie culture of a nuclear family, material possessions, a paying job, and dental insurance, Renton is rebelling, but this isn't just the usual disaffection of youth -- it's a deeper, more pervasive dissatisfaction with a culture he views as sick and stifling.
Like a Shepherd herding cattle, the U.S government was easily able to direct public opinion into a scathing irrational hatred of the Japanese, though given the nature of Japan's savage pre-war crimes this dehumanization may not have been any less due than that of the Nazis. By the time the government was done meddling in public opinion, private sectors were hopping on the racist bandwagon, publishing comic strips such as one in American Legion Magazine wherein a soldier asks "What would you druther do - exterminate bug-insecks or Japs!?" A Squad mate spraying bugs replied there wasn't much of a difference, "but slappin' Japs is more satisfyin'!" (91) Though I can understand how dehumanization is such a key factor for a government to successfully orchestrate a war, the dangers of such dehumanization have been seen by millions of innocents killed by German Gas just as they have been seen by hundreds of thousands of innocents killed by the American Atom. Having failed once, there's now no reason to allow racism to reach
