Summary Of The Film Muriel's Wedding

To complete the movie analysis assignment I decided to use a fantasy comedy movie called Matilda (1996 Film) by Danny DeVito. Matilda family is an ordinary family with a mother, father and a brother. Matilda Wormwood is a genius girl, who lives with both of her parents. Her father Harry, who is a car salesman and Zinnia the mother, who has a tremendous love and need of playing bingo, and her older brother Michael. During this film we can observe different types of family dynamics such as gender factors. For

The lack of sentimentality towards the institution of marriage is initially explored when Cher has a familial conversation with her father. A close up of Cher’s complaining facial expression while saying “you were hardly even married to her” is definitely indicative of how there is a discernible lack of sentimentality towards marriage in this day and age. Divorce is accepted and so too are multiple marriages that might have short durations. This relaxed attitude towards romantic relationships is emphasised when Cher mentions how “showing a little skin… makes them (guys) think of sex”. Her voiceover simply represents how the modern attitude towards marriage connects with the pressure women faced in Emma to marry. Within the “car scene”, a close up of Elton repeatedly attempting to kiss Cher displays how in effect society believes that relationships are based on shallow sentiment and lustful feelings. This is consistent with how Emma exclaims to Harriet that “she will be confined to the society of the illiterate” if she agrees to the proposal because of love. However, the fact that Cher indirectly mentions how lust is an integral part of relationships mean that morals, not social class or education, determine the direction of relationships. Hence, an appropriation provides similar insights into unchanged behaviours over a long period of

Aware that this concept of marriage is a tool for financial security would be misunderstood in a society where women are liberated and independent; Weldon has brought the idea into the 20th century Australia. Weldon has made the connection between Charlotte’s marriage to Mr Collins and the Australian “rich land owners import Asian girls as wives.” The introduction of television and the internet in our context has made the suffering and hardships of foreigner’s woman extremely accessible, therefore we are able to sympathise with and understand why these women would forfeit their chance of true love in order to “escape the hunger and poverty of their own lands.” Through the connection modern responders are able to appreciate the importance of marriage held within society and are able to understand more completely that by making “the business of her life to get her five daughters married, Mrs Bennet was protecting her daughters from financial

To begin with, in the novel marriage is the center topic. Marriage is the formal union of a man and women who are in love. The main character Janie Crawford is on a spiritual journey for self-identity and fulfillment through love. Janie’s story of self-discovery is told as a flash back. On this journey Janie meets three men who take her on a wild roller coaster ride. They each fill a

Marriage is one of the most revered institutions in most societies. Often a momentous event, most couples who choose to get married look forward to their wedding day and spending the rest of their lives together. However, the honeymoon phase of marriage may have the tendency to fade over time, and relationships that were once strong and loving may become strained. In the short story Birthday Party by Katharine Brush, a particular instance of such a weakened relationship is highlighted as the observer in the story witnesses a married man and woman celebrating a birthday in a restaurant. Through the use of vivid description and powerful word choice, Brush effectively comments on the concept of marriage and relationships and emphasizes their romantic impermanence and sometimes inevitable deterioration.

The 1997 comedy film, ‘The Castle’, directed by Rob Sitch, is a classic Australian film which pits the underdog individual against a large corporation. The low-budget film follows the fight of tight-knit working class family, the Kerrigans, who face the forced acquisition of their modest home by a government organisation. It can be clearly seen that the director has positioned audiences to see the Kerrigans as praiseworthy characters. This is shown through the narrative elements, stylistic features, and constructedness of the plot.

The film Our Family Wedding illustrated the diversity among and between families. The film depicted the views of different generations within a family and how an interracial marriage affected them differently. The film explores new contemporary marriage trends and challenges traditional family roles and marriage trends. This paper will explore different demographic trends as it relates to the social constructs of class, race, and gender, survey the recent trends and changes towards contemporary marriage, and study the changes in the family relationships within the film. Conclusively, this film analysis will use textbook concepts and examples in the movie to establish a framework for the diverse family system and the changing marriage.

The Princess Bride, written by William Goldman, is no ordinary fairy tale, most fairy tales are straightforward, the fact that it is told through a frame narrative, adding additional layers, makes the story more confusing. Although it does not fully fit the conventions of an ordinary fairy tale, it does fit the conventions of oral story-telling. Through the preface and interruptions, Goldman simulates oral-storytelling, with a hint of fantasy, in his novel, in order to recreate the moment in which his father told him the story.

In the film ‘Muriel’s Wedding’, directed by P. J. Hogan, Australian humor and values are expressed in various ways. The Australian humor and values are very unique and captured in many ways such as characters, camera shots, jargon, setting and film techniques. The film techniques in this film are used to portray the relationships between the characters, Muriel’s need to feel like she belongs, Muriel’s transformation into Mariel and many more. Music is used in the film to show how Muriel is coping, for example when she is at her lowest point in the movie she sits alone in her room and sadly sings along to ABBA’s song ‘Dancing Queen’.

This combination allows for the musical to obtain a severe plot, however, maintains the audience’s attention. The unique combination of pop melodies with sophisticated musical techniques along with complex use of musical elements allows the songs within the musical to depict a profounder meaning than what is originally perceived. This is depicted well in the song The wizard and I as it uses complex musical elements along with sophisticated musical techniques.

you can notice that from my answers in the test. I did all the movie's picture parts very well

This chapter examine two tinker women characters named sarah casey,who wants to be married in order to gain dignity and be viewed as respectable in the eyes of society;and her mother-in-law Mary Byrne, a drunkard who opposes such an institution. Like all of Synge’s plays, the basic plot of The Tinker’s Wedding derives from folk stories of Irish culture. In fact, the play represents a dramatisation of folk stories told In Wicklow and West Kerry. In the first essay of this prose work The Vagrants of Wicklow, a man on the side of a mountain to the east of Aughavanna, in Wicklow tells his observations about the tinkers he saw. He mentions the vigorous lifestyle and the marriage customs of the roaming tinkers and tramps. He says that one time he saw fifty of them on the road and “[t]hey are gallous lads for walking through the world” and one of these lads “would swap the woman he had with one from another man, with as much talk as if you'd be selling a cow” (Synge, In Wicklow 5). The second source Synge would use in his play is the tale of tinkers bargaining with a priest to marry them for money and a tin

This film is performed by two marvellous actors Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr. They are both given a clear example of what the aboriginal people’s life looks like. On the other hand, the camera work is very well to present the consequences of the European impact on Aboriginal Australian society. In the film, it uses a medium shot to show Delilah look at two European young girls. In this medium shot, compare with two European young girls, Delilah is very different that images indigenous people are hard to get into European world. From these aspects, the film won many categories for Best Direction, Best Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Lead Actor and Best Lead Actress in different
