Gru: The Sequel Of An Animation Film

My research assignment # 1 I picked the movie “ Monsters , inc “ by Pixar teamed up with disney, the director was pete Docter in 2001 the movie was first released ,the movie will be 16 years old today. when first came out the movie was a big hit. This movie is showed through the eyes of the two monsters , as the movie goes on ,the two main characters learns that they should not be scared of something you do not understand, at the end of the movie they both learn overcome they fear. I think the director was trying to show that important of laughter in life , It is truly more stronger than fear.

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in literary work. It has been discovered that there is indeed a common theme surrounding both George Orwell’s novel 1984 and the LEGO movie. These pieces of literature serve to warn its readers/audience of the dangers of totalitarianism. Both the movie and the novel portray a “perfect” totalitarian society, where the government has complete and total power and control. When one looks beneath the surface of these “perfect” societies, it becomes evident that they are nothing of the sort. These “perfect” societies have removed individual expression and has caused everyone to be conditioned to think alike. The citizens are conditioned to meet the needs

Beauty and the Beast is a “Tale as old as time” or at least as old as 1740 which is when the first publication appeared (De Villeneuve). The original author, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, wrote 362 pages which Jeanne- Marie Leprince de Beaumont later abridged (De Villeneuve). Countless people know the general story of Beauty and the Beast: A beautiful girl saves her father by becoming a prisoner in an enchanted castle. She and the master, a hideous beast, become acquainted. The beast wants the girl to be content, even when her request is to leave, so he lets her go. When the girl returns, the beast is in grave danger. Tearfully the girl confesses her love for the beast, and he transforms into a handsome prince.

The film I have chosen to analyze is the film Shrek, an animated fanstasy-comedy film, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson. Major actors include, Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona. The film was officially released in May 18th, 2001. The blockbuster movie Shrek was nominated Favorite Motion Picture, also winning more than thirty-one awards. Shrek is a green ogre who realizes that his swamp has been overruned by the devious Lord Farquaad. In his journey to persuade Farquaad to give his swamp back, Shrek encounters a talking donkey. Donkey is described as a euphoric and talkative character, who quickly becomes one of the main characters. As Shrek and Donkey arrive at Farquaad’s palace, Farquaad agrees to Shrek’s conditions as long as he rescues Princess Fiona, who is waiting for true love in a tower guarded by a fiery dragon. However, as they head back with Fiona, it becomes evident that not only Shrek becomes in love, but also Princess Fiona is yet to reveal a bigger secret. Many great elements are represented in this film, which work together to make this film educational, adventurous and humorous.

The movie Bashu: A Little Stranger, is a heartwarming commentary written and directed by Bahram Beizai in 1989 on the effects of war, love, and racism in a small village community in Iran. Beizai challenges the widely accepted Iranian identity through stars Susan Taslimi as Naii, Bashu’s adopted mother and Adnan Afravian as Bashu. The film boasts a simple plot, yet the societal critiques are strong and apparent. It takes place during the Iraq-Iran war, a war brought forth from long standing border conflicts and fears of revolution. Many critics agree that Bashu is a timeless film. Although produced in 1989, this situation could happen at any point in time.

From the outside looking in, the Parr family is an average, middle-class white family. Bob, the father, is the breadwinner, working a 9-5 job insurance job, while his wife, Helen, stays at home to take care of their three children. However, underneath their apparent nuclear family structure lies a secret double life based on their former superhero alter-egos. Their banned super powers awaken when, in typical melodrama style, the city is in need of saving and the Parr family are the only ones who can do so. Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles uses a double-life situation to simultaneously enforce and obliterate gender roles within an apparent stereotypical family dynamic.

As Stephen King once said “Our emotions and our fears form their own body, and we recognize that it demands it’s own exercise to maintain proper muscle tone...But anticivilization emotions don’t go away, and they demand periodic exercise.” In the film Silent Hill, directed by Christophe Gans, a nine year old girl named Alessa is forced to live a life of torment. Alessa’s fear and pain never left but instead grew. Alessa as a result allowed her darkest emotions to split from her physical body creating a doppelgänger of herself; Dark Alessa. The darkest side of her own soul promised to make everyone who ever hurt her fall into her darkest dreams. A systematic exposure to hatred and maltreatment led Alessa to give up her innocence and invest herself fully to seeking revenge.

Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

In The Lego Movie (Lord & Miller, 2014), the economic system transitions from a totalitarian command economy, like planned socialism, to a system closer to laissez-faire capitalism or anarchy. Due to their differing interpretations of this change, both Friedman and Marx would look positively at the later state of the economy, while Veblen would prefer the system to have stayed the way it was before. Friedman would have approved of this economic change due to his reasoning that the lower government intervention would allow people greater creativity and ability to conduct free economic exchange, creating a more harmonious society. Marx on the other hand would see this change positively due to the significant increase in equality among all individuals in the population and the ability for everyone to coexist peacefully without a formal government structure, a key component of communism. Veblen would have preferred the old system in the movie due to the fact it has a greater guarantee of overall happiness as it lacks the treadmill of emulative consumption, while the new system would allow some individuals to obtain and achieve better possessions than others starting off the cycle of emulative consumption. While all three economists would recognize the decrease in government involvement in the economy as well as an increase in voluntary citizen productivity, Veblen and Friedman would argue this gives individuals more power to compete and participate in exchange, in contrast to

A TV series in which kids make up their lines as they go along? When first introduced to this concept, the BBC seemed anything but convinced (Down with the Kids … on Outnumbered, 2013, p. 38). Nine years later, however, the British sitcom Outnumbered has proved that it is indeed possible to successfully film that way and broadcast the result on national television. Over the course of seven years and five seasons, the audience is taken along with the Brockman family, consisting of the two parents Sue and Pete and their three children Jake, Ben and Karen, aged 11, 8 and 5 in the first season.

The Iron Giant is set in 1957 during a period of the Cold War, at the time by tension between the United States and the Soviet Union was growing a fast in the form of the arms race. In 1957, Sputnik was launched, raising the possibility of invasion of privacy for millions of Americans and their government or even worse nuclear attack that could cause a Nuclear War . Communism and the potential threat of nuclear destruction cultivated an era of fear and paranoia which led to propaganda in the forms of films and ads. In one scene, Hogarth's class are watching an animated film named Atomic Holocaust, based on Duck and Cover, an actual film that offered advice on how to survive if the USSR bombed the USA.Later on in the movie Kent Mansley paranoid

The first things I thought about when I was reading this chapter was the rat neighborhoods and community grid layouts from the Pixar animated film, Ratatouille. I did find that amusing to think about, but I also found a much more meaningful personal significance in this chapter. I thought about my expectations and how they have limited my ability to look. The average height of an American woman is 5’6 and the average height of an American man is 5’10. Being 5’10 myself, I have an expectation that I do not need to adjust my view of the world much to find the people I am looking for because they are relatively the same height as me. For example, when I go out with my family, I don’t adjust the level of my eyesight because my expectation is that
