Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot

In an excerpt from the British novel, Kiss and Tell, Alain de Botton describes a young male narrator and his girlfriend, Isabel, in a theater where they coincidentally encounter Isabel’s parents. Through Isabel’s elaborate and detailed descriptions of her parents’ behavior and actions, De Botton reveals her comical embarrassment of the presence of her parents. In addition, by implementing dialogue containing unconstrained oversharing and by employing incongruous juxtapositions between the sophisticated setting and Isabel’s parents’ ridiculous actions, De Botton also establishes comedic overtones in the depiction of the universal situation of a child being teasingly humiliated by her parents. Isabel’s response to her parents’ presence and

In Michael Hollinger’s play entitled Naked Lunch, the author uses sexual undertones to imply the nature of a relationship between two characters. The two characters featured in the play are Vernon and Lucy respectively, and while they seem to have broken up in the recent past, their lunch was going well. However, as their lunch continues, Vernon notices that Lucy is not eating the steak he prepared for their meal and is only nibbling at the corn. This seems to strike a chord with Vernon and he asks her simply “What’s wrong with the steak?” (989).

Mise-en-scéne is crucial to classical Hollywood as it defined an era ‘that in its primary sense and effect, shows us something; it is a means of display. ' (Martin 2014, p.XV).

Features of the film 's sense of space and time, setting, motifs, characters, and character goals will be explored and how they affect the characterisation, structure, and three-act organisation.

This incredibly humorous idea, of the stag and hen night before the wedding, gives the audience a clear and simple over view of the lifestyles present in the 1980s, as characters throughout the play give out continuous hints regarding: sexual references, alcohol and sexism, which could have been a personal choice by Rourke to present

In Kiss and Tell, Alain de Botton humorously describes a situation between tactless and socially oblivious parents and their uncomfortable adult daughter, Isabel, who is on a date with her new boyfriend. Using immaturity and a lack of etiquette in the actions of the characters, multiple examples of irony, and the anticipation of Isabel’s father’s actions which all ultimately lead to a comedic effect, de Botton produces a universal experience that brings humor to the audience while commenting on family dynamics.
