I wasn’t expecting there to be much comedy in this play when I first sat down. I expected the play to be a serious play with a lot of fight scenes (Which there were). The monster fight scenes were nice and all, but the fight between Chase (Miles Moore) and Ashley (Agnes Evens) were very explosive and action packed. Chase made all of his attacks tense, fast motions that seemed like they really did connect. Saying that, Ashley and Chase did just as well of a job reacting to the hits at the perfect time. In the fight scene where

A film genre is a motion picture category based on similarities in either the narrative elements or the emotional response to the film. While films have at least one major genre, there are a number of films that are considered crossbreeds or hybrids with three or four coinciding genre or sub-genre types that they can be identified with them and most can be filed into categories that are easily recognizable to audiences (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 1998, p. 4.1). However, ever so seldom a film comes along that breaks free of its invisible bounds of genre and it leaves the audiences confused about the actual existence of genre. One such film is a film that most are familiar with Steven Spielberg’s classic Saving Private Ryan.

The tone is consistently light-hearted. Good visual and physical comedy is used, as well as some fun dialogue. There are solid themes about grieving, healing, learning to survive on one’s own, and respect.

The comedy uses physical and visual comedy well. Elevate Syd as a comedic character – her flaws and quirks. Some of the fun moments are when Syd makes the quip about the power tools, while Lucy and Charlie hold vibrators etc. The photo at the construction site is also amusing. On page 52, it’s amusing when Syd, Charlie, and Lucy all answer differently to Alex’s question. Although, reconsider Alex. This subplot would work better if Lucy is truly single and not pregnant.

As a kid friendly show, I could indulge in the silliness of the story line and some of the jokes, but it had a strong enough message that I felt I left the theater with something to think about and debate. It was relatable and really made me think about when I was Bruce and Violet and didn’t feel like I fit in. I really wish that this was something that my parents could have taken me to when I was younger. This is a show that I would recommend to anyone who wants to laugh but also be able to reflect on the world around

The characters usually have a lot more to say and humour comes just from the dialogue instead of actions. However, in Friends, a couple of the characters are actually portrayed as being very childlike and the humour is much more slapstick and easy to understand because of this. Also the lines given to the characters are much shorter which means each character has something to say in one scene and some of the humour heavily relies on the actions of the characters as well. These short lines make it easier for the viewer to settle into the programme from the beginning. There

There are several aspects of a film that will make a good comedy. A good comedy needs well-rounded characters, adventure, and a love story. If a film has well-rounded characters the viewer can relate to them in some way. If a film has adventure there is never a dull moment that will lull the viewer to sleep, and it’s packed full of crazy obstacles the characters have to pull through. If there is a love story of some kind, serious or funny, it will keep the viewer interested throughout the entire film, and keep the viewer wondering what is going to happen in the end. When a comedy has these things it will surely be a good comedic film.

Post-war Japanese society is a world where High and Low art is blurred together by otaku, such as anime, and social class. However, Takashi Murakami straddles the line. Murakami spills a mix of Nihanga and Otaku into the canvases, plastic toys, handbags, shoes, etc; endorsing his own theory/style named “Superflat”. Using strategical subject matter such as popular Japanese comic figures combined with ukiyo-e(traditional Japanese block prints), and addressing these contrasting qualities to outside cultures; Murakami intensifies what Pop Art accomplished, art versus material. On other feelings, one could argue that “Superflat” isn’t a unique, Japan-identified style, that “Superflat” is a humiliation to the Contemporary Art world because of its commercialism. Lastly, that is a continuation of the already well developed Pop Art. On the supporting side, Murakami’s “Superflat” is a high-energy, cross-culture style that serves as a new way to represent the high and low of art that is considerably unique to Japan. To support this, Murakami’s past and present artwork will have to be established chronologically to illustrate how the timeline affects his work.

Anime, is a term that is used to represent Japanese animation (Lamarre 1). It is a combination of both form of content and form of expression. However, there seems to be more emphasis on form of content rather than expression when discussing anime. Form of content includes the genre, story and narrative while form of expression includes the animation and the style. Form of content can be described as what the audience is being shown and the message that is conveyed. On the other hand, form of expression emphasizes how the animation is shown and as a means for the animation to be shown. In this paper, the first episode of the television anime series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (also known as Bishōjo Senshi Sērāmūn in Japanese), will be
