Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby

According to the symbolic interactionist perspective, meaning and reality are constructed through social interaction; through sharing and communication of symbols (Cartwright, p.156). Through this concept comes the idea of the labeling perspective, which states that deviance is a social construct. Using a number of theories connected to the labelling perspective such as primary/secondary deviance, self-fulfilling prophecy and master status, will demonstrate the subjectivity that many would consider it to be deviant.

How many 40-year-old unemployed slackers do you know? Now imagine 2 of them under the same roof obnoxiously fighting about childish things. Step Brothers from start to finish is exactly this displaying 2 outrageously comical actors in Will Ferrell and John C Reilly bickering back and forth trying to learn how to cope with one another. The glory of this film comes from the constant one liners that make no sense but fit the film perfectly, the childish behavior, and the elementary school comebacks mixed in with the adult language which adds a different but great comical sense that few movies have been able to portray before. Such as when Ferrell refers to Reilly as a “Big, fat, curly-headed f***”. This line had me rolling on the floor due to the seriousness of Ferrell and the reaction of Reilly and the fact that it is a simple 3rd grade insult with an F-bomb thrown in there that just makes it all that more funny. Although Talladega Nights and the Anchorman trilogy had better storylines none compare to the pure comedy that Step Brothers provides. Step Brothers is Will Ferrell’s most entertaining movie made to date, and is one that can be watched over and over without losing its humor.

Within a few short years, Ferrell had helped lead ratings renaissance for SNL, prompting television audiences to return each week. For the SNL cast, they said Will was the glue that holds the show together. After Saturday Night Live was over Ferrell actually had a very successful career in hollywood unlike others alongside him. In 2003 Ferrell found great success playing buddy in the movie Elf, along with anchorman (2004), Talladega Nights (2006) Blades of Glory (2007). Ferrell proved that he wasn’t scared to try new things by launching the film funny or die. Ferrell slid seamlessly into the role of voice actor for the animated Megamind, starring as the titular villain turned superhero. While generally regarded as quiet and unassuming off set, the intensely private Ferrell hasn’t been afraid to put his politics out front.

Overall I really enjoyed this movie; the only thing I want to complain about is the lack of Bob Dylan. It is a known fact that Dylan single-handedly revived Cash 's career, yet they only mention him a few times throughout the

Blazing Saddles, a Mel Brooks film, is a perfect example of satire. The main object of the movie is to make fun of the western genre of films. Mel Brooks is notorious for his satires of many different films and film genres, and Blazing Saddles follows true to form. Many of the film’s ideas and problems are common in most westerns, although Mel Brooks has added a twist. In addition, the movie pokes fun at a more modern theme, racism.

Our society has lived around giving people nicknames, labels or titles. Schools specifically can be a spot where these labels have been detrimental on a person’s view of themselves. Labeling or stigmatizing is when someone uses a label or nickname to degrade someone who is considered different. Insults and jokes can enforce these labels. People who are different can be labeled something which may make them feel more insignificant about themselves, and if these labels are repeated the person may even come to believe the label. In the case of the Saints and the Roughnecks it was the citizens who stigmatized these teenagers to the point where the kids were they were not given any other future besides the one that follow what their label was. The community believed the teenagers could not become better or worse people than what their title

Let’s just get this out of the way, right off the bat. Monday? Yeah. It SUCKED. There’s no way around it. Even if the rest of my day had gone swimmingly (spoiler alert: it didn’t) the news I woke up to about the shooting in Las Vegas would have been enough to spoil it. Add in Tom Petty’s death and, yeah, there’s no way that day could have been salvaged for me. I could go over my feelings and thoughts about the horrific events in Vegas. Or wax poetic about how much Tom Petty and his music mean to me. But we’ve all read those articles. All had our own thoughts on the matter. I’m not going to rehash something that’s been said a million different ways by people far more eloquent than me.
