    Shaun Of The Dead Satire

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The film Shaun of the Dead is a British zombie flick filled with comedy, romance, and horror. It is an original piece, directed by Edgar Wright and co-star Simon Pegg, which uses irony throughout the entire movie. Many critics think of the movie as a British comedy but I believe it is much more than that. I believe the cast was appropriately chosen for this movie. The main character is Shaun, Simon Pegg, who's an irresponsible young man who just wants to have fun without any responsibility. He is accompanied by his best friend Ed, Nick Frost, who is a slacker and moocher, but adds much of the humor to the film. Another main character is Liz, Kate Ashfield, who is Shaun's girlfriend.…

    The Simpsons are one of the longest running and most popular television shows. This popularity exists because "the Simpsons [have] always operated on two levels. On one level appealing to children as a fast paced cartoon and then for the older audiences for its wit and [satire]" (Batscha). Satire is the common thread with binds all of The Simpsons episodes. The writers show the absurdity in ordinary everyday situations including religion, politics and other social issues. This has been the leading cause for its controversy and longevity. However, the Simpsons' crude style is necessary and meant to induce anger. The public school system is one of the most common targets of satire.…

    A zombie is a reanimated human corpse that feeds on living human flesh. Stories about zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of voodoo. These stories described people as being controlled by a powerful sorcerer. Modern zombies come from a film made in 1968 by a as then unknown director George Romero (Night of the Living Dead). George Romero rewrote the book about zombies. “What started as a low budget horror movie became an international sensation” (Radford). More than half of all zombie movies have been made since September 11, 2001. Romero did not invent the zombie. It’s been around as long as man has walked the earth. There are several possible etymologies of the word zombie. One of the possible origins is jumbie, which comes from the Caribbean term for ghost. Another possible origin is the word nzambi which in Kongo means “spirit of a dead person” (Radford).…

    Satire On Homelessness

    Today, you could attest to saying that times have been rough here in America. With an increase in gas and food prices, due to two major hurricanes (Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas and Hurricane Irma in the State of Florida), the unemployment rate is still at a steady rise, and family’s homes are still being foreclosed. It is particular hard to say that homelessness is decreasing. Although the resulting numbers from the 2008 National Count of homelessness that is done every year in January, showed that there was a 12% decrease in homeless people on the streets and shelters from 2005-2007 and a 30% decrease in chronic homelessness in 2005. The moral controversy of this issue is to ask, what can we do to physical decrease the number of people on the streets and in…
