Family Road Trip Satire

You are six years old, freshly woken up, haven’t even brushed your teeth yet. You rush downstairs to the basement, quickly cozy into the couch, and turn on the TV. To your amusement, your favorite show is on—The Proud Family. Your attention is captivated by the television. You begin to sing at the top of your lungs, “THE PROUD FAMILY, THEY’LL MAKE YOU SCREAM, MAKE YOU WANNA SING..” and so on. Why is it that you are so infatuated with this show? Is your gratification satisfied by the cultural representation that of course a six year old would not understand, comedic entertainment, or subtle lessons? Whatever the case may be, the show keeps your eyes glued to the television for the next thirty minutes. The six year old child, you are imagining

Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality

The public images of the elderly uncles are both positive and negative. There are negative terms used toward them like “geezer” and “grandpa”. Our society, at times, looks down on the elderly and this attitude is being feed through the negative attitudes being portrayed in the movie. However, the positives outweigh the negatives. The spirit, strength and adventure of the uncles certainly shines through. The uncles are very adventures and they show that no matter what your age you can still have fun and enjoy life. More importantly, the knowledge and life experiences of the elderly should be learned from and passed onto the next generation.

Wide, sunny beaches, yellow sand and clear water paints the picture perfect Sydney. Cut to Mount Druitt, a town filled with graffiti, garbage, and government housing, where the controversial new documentary Struggle Street is set. This borderline ‘mockumentary’ aims to show a side of Sydney that is rarely seen, but unless the producer – David Galloway - set out to do this in the most depreciating manner possible, the documentary has missed the mark. Although the audience duly tries to feel sympathy for the shocking stories “uncovered”, the mocking undertones undermine all seriousness, removing almost all chances for the audience to feel legitimate, heartfelt compassion.

I remember seeing some advertisements for the movie making it out to be a family movie and the case compares it to “The Lord of the Rings.” It is not a family movie. As stated earlier there is a lot of violence in this movie. Other than children, who should not see this film, people should be warned that is not happy and the violence is very realistic I had a hard time watching the scene where the captain uses a wine bottle to smash in a farmer’s face. It does have wonderful scenes and graphics. I enjoyed the complex characters and motives people had. It was also set in a place

Driving can be exhilarating. When you role your windows down and enjoy the fresh cool spring air. Jamming out to your favorite song and just watching the road ahead of you. You just drive and drive and let the road take you to places you've never been before. Places to explore and to have new adventures.

I hate staying after school longer than I need to be, whether it’s retaking a test or having to explain my tardiness to the teachers. It's very annoying having to walk home because it’s located on top of a rocky hill, and I dreaded having to walk alongside the busy road to get home. However, now that the dead have risen from their graves to claim domain over soul and flesh of the living, I do not have to wait after school anymore!

     If I were a film critic I would give this film four and a half stars. It was well made and the actors were excellent. Although I have little to no experience living in a situation such as the one in the movie, I feel as though the lifestyle of these particular characters were portrayed truthfully. It was a culture shock to me, and the fact that it was most likely taken from real life is amazing in my mind. This movie not only made me think about the world as a whole but made me realize how incredibly lucky I am to have grown up in the environment in which I have lived in my entire life.

Final Paper Rough Draft Auston Collins Ever since their inception in the early 1930’s, television programs have revolutionized the United States in countless ways. From informing millions about current news to allowing sports fans to watch their team playing across the country, television has truly been one of the most revolutionary inventions of the past century. More recently, television programs have begun to comment and take a position on current events. In particular, satire has been very common, as it uses wit and irony to critique certain aspects of society.

The viewpoint of the political cartoon is that no one takes Al Gore seriously. The word serious is in the cartoon and AL Gore is dressed as a penguin, which is funny. The cartoon is horatian because Al Gore dressed in a penguin suit is humorous. The content creator used sarcasm and caricature in the cartoon. The sarcastic part of the cartoon is Obama asking us to take global warming seriously. Caricature is used by Al Gore dressed as a penguin.

Now if that doesn't make you want to just try and get through life, I don't know what does. Teens relate themselves to this, and make it a better movie. They also put it into their own

A family road trip is supposed to be fun, unless your the Heffleys. They think they are going to have the best road trip ever,but things start to go down hill fast. Gas station bathrooms, crazy seagulls, and a runaway pig is not Greg's idea of a family road trip. Will they survive all the bad things heading their way, or will they give up on it all. Read the book to find

The director did a fantastic job writing this film. All of the points he wanted to get to the audience, I feel did. The actor, Sean Paul, did a wonderful job impersonating someone with a developmental disability. The director’s goal was to have people that were his targeted audience, try and think about what they take for granted and show that people need love and support just as much as anyone else that is important to them. People never know what other stories other people have and are going through. It is always nice to be kind and to be a supportive human being.

I totally agree with his opinion. The movie is so exciting that anyone, no matter the age group can enjoy it. For me, the movie took me back to a place as a child having fun with my creative imagination. I think that Stephen Whitty was saying never forget the times when you were little and having fun; that it’s alright to put away silly things, when the time is right but pick them up again at times.
