The Movie Home Satire

I had high hopes for the movie ‘HOME’ since Jim Parsons, and Rihanna were the voices for the main characters. Jim Parsons plays our hero Oh in this story a little alien that stood out from his kind who changed the fate of his race. Rihanna plays Tip our heroine is separated from her mother, whom she is trying to find again. Needless to say Tip and Oh meet up and work together to find Tips mother, Lucy, but also to save the planet from the Gorg invasion and total annihilation. The whole story of the movie comes from one of Adam Rex’s children 's books I myself have not read the book, but the movie did need more plot structure. Piece of the movie fell off, leaving a few questions. However this is more of a children 's movie than an adult movie with its catchy theme music, with the same rhythms, tones, and beats. The movie has good qualities, but it needed a little something more to help draw some of the attentions of the adult viewers. Maybe giving the movie more man-like qualities, such as the human race working to stop the invasion in the first place or showing the humans fighting back from their relocations.

Picking up the book Fun Home, one would imagine that the novel would embellish some sort of comical life story of a misunderstood teenager. Although the short comic-book structured novel does have its sarcastic humor, Alison Bechdel explains her firsthand account of growing up with the difficulty of living of finding her true identity. Alison was a teenager in college when she discovered that she was a lesbian, however, the shock came when she also discovered her father was homosexual. I feel that the most influencing panel in Fun Home is where Alison and her father are in the car alone together. Not only does this panel explain the entirety of the novel in a few short speech bubbles, but it is the defining scene that connects

The film, The House I live In, opened my eyes to the severity of unfair law enforcement and the depths of the battle with war on drugs. Theoretically, the more people are being arrested for drugs, the cheaper, purer, and more available the drugs become. Making these arrests are not helping get the drugs off the streets, it is only opening up more opportunities for other people to pick up the business.

To my understanding, the movie Home for the Holidays not only reveals a lot of potential family conflicts, but also reflects a lot of different communication approaches of the various family members. As a foreigner, I have never experienced Thanksgiving homecoming dinner before, so I may cannot understand some of the holiday customs in the movie, but I found out that their family interactions are interesting indeed.

Summer Heights High is an Australian mockumentary series which uses satirical devices to depict the public school system, and its teachers and students in a negative light. The creator, Chris Lilley, portrays these subjects using stereotypes, irony, and hyperbole. The show focuses much attention on the main three characters; Hellen "Mr G." Gregson, an overenthusiastic high school drama teacher; Ja'mie King, a teenage girl doing an exchange programme from a private school to a public school; and Jonah Takalua, a Tongan troublemaker. These characters are all represented in a very exaggerated, stereotypical way, throughout the series.

This genre is typically modern, perky and upbeat, but the common narrative in all of them is that it features a woman who is strong and she overcomes adversity to reach her goals. There is also a message of empowerment that also struggles with a romantic predicament and using comedy to poke fun at the male characters. Industries are still producing soppy romantic comedies for the female audience but the divide between the standard chick flick and romantic comedy is slowly disappearing. Similarly to the beginning of this essay it is evident that institutions are moving in the direction of women’s place in culture in relation to this film genre; women are usually shown as the super power since they are made to appeal to the female audience. However

Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, documents the author's discovery of her own and her father's homosexuality. The book touches upon many themes, including, but not limited to, the following: sexual orientation, family relationships, and suicide. Unlike most autobiographical works, Bechdel uses the comics graphic medium to tell her story. By close-reading or carefully analyzing pages fourteen through seventeen in Fun Home one can get a better understanding of how a Bechdel employs words and graphic devices to render specific events. One can also see how the specific content of the pages thematically connects to the book as a whole. As we will see, this portion of the book echoes the strained relationship

The graphic memoir Fun Home and the short film Pariah both contribute to a conversation on intersectional politics regarding respectability and normativity. The Bechdel family in Fun Home maintain a perfectly respectable familial façade to the external world even as the complications of Bruce Bechdel’s sexual appetites and inclinations threaten to tear the family apart internally. Likewise, Alike’s gender identity and sexuality creates a conflict in her family as they try to uphold middle-class respectability. In both contexts, respectability intersects with normativity and performance of normativity, however, both texts also challenge assumptions about the ways in which respectability politics intersect with normativity, especially in regards to family and kinship dynamics.

Jordan Belfort’s The Wolf of Wall Street is a memoir that chronicles the author's rise and eventual fall in the early 1990s world of trading. Belfort includes details of his extravagant and at times vulgar lifestyle. In addition to this he includes information concerning the exact nature of his illegal stock brokerage firm. However, what literary value does this memoir by a misogynistic, drug addict, felon present?

What will happen if a nuclear bomb explodes during the Cold War? Will the world be set on track to chaos? The answer to these two questions can be found in the 60’s classic, a movie that depicts an imaginary nuclear war between the USSR and the USA, Dr. Strangelove (1964). Direted by Stanley Kubrick and filmed during the height of the Cold War, Dr. Strangelove is a political satire that reflects the tension between the two superpowers at the time through its satirical plot and ironical lines. On the surface, Dr. Strangelove conveys how the explosion of a nuclear bomb triggers a chain of hilarious reactions from the two superpowers.

In a dysfunctional society where the surface becomes the only thing, Easton Ellis heavily illustrates the self-obsessed and materialistic nature of humans in our society. American Psycho captures the epitome of a shallow society that has reached its state of oblivion. Although the book stirred many controversies with its publication releases, it nonetheless became a social phenomenon outrage. However, If we see beyond the violence and the murders, the book becomes a wild satire, where it can be seen as an entertaining commentary on the consumerist society we are living in today. When American Psycho was first published it was met with many limited releases and censorship problems, as it was universally criticized for its descriptive brutality
