Rogue Nation Humor

Renee Zellweger (Roxie Hart) gave a truly believable performance. I really felt her drive to become a performer when watching the movie. Her dance numbers were incredible, and I really did enjoy watching her in the film. Catherine Zeta-Jones was wonderful in her supporting role as the highly successful showgirl turned murderer Velma Kelly. I felt that she earned her Academy Award for this role. Richard Gere gave a strong performance as the ace attorney Billy Flynn.

No belief or idea is as important to me as humor. To quote Henry Drummond from Inherit the Wind, “When you lose your power to laugh, you lose your power to think straight.” Having humor is having perspective, and in doing so allows people to find truth and nuance in an otherwise black-and-white situation. Humor allows me to personally detach from a scenario and analyze it from a bird’s eye view, giving me the edge to understand what others cannot. Apart from seeking truth from humor and identifying the absurd, humor brings people together, whether it be in times of conflict or indifference. Humor is why shows like Last Week Tonight and The Daily Show thrive in times of political divisiveness, poking fun at the absurdities in politics and getting

In the Outsiders I think the actors played their roles correctly especially Tom Cruise who played Two bit. I felt like the they picked the best actors to play the roles of the characters from the book. The death scenes

I think actors’ acting is really good. They make me feel in there with them. And each actor has clear acting. Hazel Hunt looks retired music teacher when she finds the clear channel. Because she stands up in front of musicians and conducts them. And Gladys Fritts looks really fall in love. Her eyes always face to O.B. Abbott.

What makes the movie important honestly its not the actors but the actual acting. The movie starts a young girl which is shown to have less exerince from the rest of the cast but somehow manages go make the movie more childlike and wonderful. The actor that play the captain looks to play the part since you first see him he look unapproachable and scary he makes a good villain. The woman that plays Mercedes is interesting I honestly don’t find her as important as the rest of the characters. Her acting was spot on but her role not so

Awakenings is a 1990 American drama film directed by Penny Marshall, based on Oliver Sacks' autobiography of the same title. This movie is the true to life story of the clinical neurologist Oliver Sacks, fictionalized as Malcolm Sayer who, in 1969, discovered the beneficial effects of the drug L-Dopa to the catatonic patients who survived the 1920s epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. This paper will be presenting how this life-affirming movie Awakenings successfully provoked the viewers to think deeply about the values of one’s life. Duffin (1997) states that “based on the autobiographical account of neurologist, Oliver Sacks, this deeply moving film uses gentle humor to explore the experience of people who have been stripped of their ability to communicate with the rest of the world” (para.4).

When we think of the genre comedy, our immediate thought is usually movies that generate gales of laughter such as Airplane (1980) and The Naked Gun (1988) or great performances by comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Steve Carell. Yet, humor can make its presence felt in movies that are not archetypally included in the genre of comedy. In this essay, I will shed light on the use of comedic elements in one such movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). I will begin by citing specific examples from the movie, with references to the three theories of humor. Subsequently, I will discuss how humor impacts the implicit meaning of the film.

In typical Shane Black fashion, trailer features a bit of nudity, tons of violence, comedy, and whip-smart dialogue that hint at what will likely be a well-crafted plot. As a bonus, Black has apparently broken Gosling of his fake New York tough guy accent.

Though the starring actors have plenty of box-office power, the acting was mediocre at best. The film should have been called the Charlize Theron movie, because let’s face it; the movie was all about her dramatic portrayal of the evil queen. Theron’s performance was so strong that poor Kristen Stewart just didn’t have a chance. The stunningly gorgeous Theron, made it hard to believe

Although I'm still unconvincingly sure about of how I feel about this film. Swiss Army man is one of the most obscurely authentic films that I've seen in 2016 that will probably require a second viewing sometime down the road. Usually a film that contains fart jokes instantly get labeled as a bad raunchy comedy. Though, Swiss Army Man uses these jokes in a innovative and unique way that prevented me from becoming amused from them. For those that have seen Paul Dano in films such as There will be Blood and Prisoners. Know that he gives these subtly weird onscreen performances. However, as the character of Hank Dano's persona probably makes its best translation onscreen to date. Radcliffe also gives an noteworthy performance as both he and Dano

It always comes with some of the mind blowing action scenes featuring the dashing Tom Cruise. Although the last part of the series, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL failed to live up to expectations, I’m expecting the latest part of the series MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION to be better than the last one. Although Tom Cruise character has a name in movie Ethan Hunt but I will not call by his character name in this review.

With a series that already has a big following and audience, making the film to all of their expectations is literally impossible. Everyone reads a book, has a different interpretation of the world, the characters and the storyline. People imagine what the character look like, what they sound like. A big part of audience expectations are the cast. There will always be people who don’t see certain people as the characters. No one will be perfect for the role, as they are fictional. No one will have everything the character is, but mostly they do try to cast as closely to the character as they can.

On this essay I will be reviewing the different acting styles from Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman on the movie the Dark knight rises and the performance of Molly Ringwald as Claire Standish in the movie The Breakfast club.

One might call Robert Benton’s direction mechanical, but his cast excels in roles that seem solely written for their personalities. Its supporting cast, including Jane Alexander and JoBeth Williams, provide superb performances. Primarily, I must pay tribute to Dustin Hoffman for his acting. We’re familiar with somewhat unconventional roles, as opposed to his excellently delivered role of a more characteristic man with very human qualities.

Irving Wardle first mentioned the term “Comedy of Menace” (Wardle 39) who borrowed it from the title of David Campton's play The Lunatic View: A Comedy of Menace in 1958. (Campton's title Comedy of Menace is a humorous play-on-words resulted from comedy of manners). This term describes a play which draws a realistic image while creating a connotation of intrigue and confusion, though the dramatists were employing a prestidigitation trick. Susan Hollis Merritt points out that in "Comedy of Menace" Wardle "first applies this label to Pinter's work … describ[ing] Pinter as one of 'several playwrights who have been tentatively lumped together as the "non-naturalists" or "abstractionists" (Merritt 225). His article "Comedy of Menace," Merritt
