Wedding Crashers
Wedding Crashers Wedding Crashers was the return of the "R" rated adult comedy movie, it was the sixth biggest grosser in 2005, it is a sex comedy about two men who crash weddings to meet single woman and deceive them to get them into bed. I believe the movie "Wedding Crashers" is against feminism. The two male characters treat women like sex objects to gain their need for sexual satisfaction. The movie stereotypes women to make them seem like sex objects, disregarding their personality and intelligence. I think the target audiences are men who are in their late 20s and early 30s that are successful and enjoy humorous adult comedy. The movie revolves around the two main characters, John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey. John and Jeremy are both bachelor divorce negotiators in their late 20s and early 30s. By day they are divorce negotiators and wedding crashers by weekend. Their main goals are to meet woman and sleep with them without having to worry about their feelings, just fulfilling their own. At the beginning of the movie, Jeremy says "We 're going to have tons and tons of opportunities to meet gorgeous ladies that are so aroused by the thought of marriage that they 'll throw their inhibitions to the wind". That is suggesting that women have no knowledge and shouldn 't have a say because they are looked upon by just how they look.
John and Jeremy are not committed to serious relationships, they like arriving as strangers to these events, becoming the life of the party. At one wedding Jeremy sees a woman and says "tattoo on the lower back, might as well be a bull 's-eye". He is targeting this woman just because she has a tattoo on her back, he doesn 't know her personality yet but thinks as her as being easy and a sex symbol. John uses cheesy lines to trick and deceive women at the wedding. "You know how they say we only use ten percent of our brains; I think we only use ten percent of our hearts", is one line he used on a lady. Telling them lies to get

It raises awareness, and allows the viewer to examine and question the themes brought up in the film. Although screwball romantic comedies are continuously watched by older generations, they are a thing of the past, and Knocked Up, and other similar films, are now taking center stage in the genre of romantic comedy--whether older generations accept them or…

    This movie really depicts the cultural truth-value of gender roles in the current American society. John Tucker is the typical high school jock that is so handsome, athletic, and gets all the girls. All the girls nowadays have an image that every boy that they date should be like that. Also, it is quite a double standard because if a girl were to date 3 guys at the same time, she would be considered a “slut,” but if a guy wants to do that; his boys will say that he is a “stud.” The girls in this film are also depicted as the stereotypical girls who are either the cheerleader for the football or basketball team who get with all the guys, the smart girl who is a nerd, and the girl who is the class “slut” who hooks up with everyone.…

    Bowling For Columbine

    • 481 Words

    The first image of ‘Bowling for Columbine’ is from a film promoting the National Rifle Association. A man dressed in an Army uniform says, “The National Rifle Association has produced a film which you are sure to find of great interest. Let’s look at it.” Then Michael Moore starts to talk, against images of people at work in America. It sounds like a “typical morning in America” spiel, but one of the images shows bombed out buildings as Moore says, “and the President bombed another country whose name we couldn’t pronounce,” and then he refers to “the little town in Colorado two boys went bowling at six in the morning”, it cuts to the bowling and then to a cute chick in a swimsuit as she holds up an M-16. Dissolve to the Statue of Liberty. Moore’s voice-over: “It was a typical day in the United States of America”.…

    For the film, the first and foremost, the film has the absolutely stellar central performance by Whoopi Goldberg. It’s a soulful portrayal completely lacking in vanity; one of the very best ever captured on film. Also of note is the film’s beautiful cinematography, particularly during the scene which inspires the title. The women in this film are portrayed in a way that is nothing but sympathetic, but these portrayals come at the expense of the male characters that are shown in one of two ways: bad and cruel, or good and stupid. The relationships between men and women in the film are universally portrayed as bad, in one way or another, and stripped of the intricacy with which they were granted in Walker’s novel. The relationships in the novel are not nearly so simplistic or cut and dried, even the abusive relationship between Celie and her husband, Mister.…

    Bowling for Columbine

    Michael Marshall once said “you can’t stop being afraid by pretending everything that scares you is there” that evidently means that fear is not real. It is the product of thoughts you create, however danger is real, but fear is a choice. When following Michael Moore’s journey in the documentary Bowling for Columbine, it is proven that most, if not all Americans live in fear. In doing so, he learns that the conventional answers of easy availability of guns ultimately lead to America’s culture of fear, bigotry and violence in a nation of widespread gun ownership. Moore’s implementation of symbolism, satirical techniques and imagery support his criticism against the firearm regulations in America. He brings in the attention of how unstable the American gun culture is as he emphasizes the consequences to generate change in the American system.…

    As you may have heard, this film contains a lot of nudity and sexuality, which is shot raw and real-life like. The director, April Mullen, along with the wonderful creators, Stephanie Fabrizi and Melissa Coghlan, wanted to honestly express a women’s view of intimacy, honesty, lust and sex, love and what really turns women on, and they succeeded. At no point during the shoot did I feel uncomfortable, objectified or embarrassed, which is a lot to say being given the fact that I was practically bare throughout the entire…

    The Breakfast Club relates to social health and mental health, by the characters personalities. In the Breakfast Club, five teenagers have to spend a full day in detention. Claire is the princess; the pretty, popular girl with parents that fight all the time. John is the criminal; the bad influence, and the pothead that gets beaten. Brian is the brain or nerd; he is the smart one of the group, that is pressured to do good by his parents. Allison is the basket case; a crazy goth, that makes things up.

    The movie tackles the tricky subject of stereotypes assigned to women, and how much they can be damaging to a woman’s pride, career and life. People love the movie for Reese Witherspoon’s portrayal of a young woman trying to impress a man, by getting into and succeeding at Harvard Law. The main character struggles the entire movie with the assumptions people make of her, writing her off as some blonde joke, yet she works to overcome these stereotypes and find out what really makes her happy. While this movie is wonderful for its character development, I find the main character to be too much of a Mary Sue, as they make her a little too perfect, and while she struggles, the idea that she might prove everyone wrong and succeed at everything is a little too unrealistic for some…
