Life of Brian is a British movie made by Monty Python in 1979. The film tell the story of a Jewish man, Brian Cohen who was been mistaken for the Messiah. The movie is a comedy that revolve about religion, its followers, colonization, political revolutionaries and the deformities of human connection. Life of Brian was first forbidden since it satires about religion and politics at the time of its release, religious groups accused the movie to be “once denounced as blasphemous and an insult to Christians” (Bingham).However, at the end it was accepted and got considered as one of the best British comedies. Among the topics that were criticized in the film, punishment is one of them; since there were two main ways of punishment allowed at that time: stoning and crucifixion.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (SUNNY) is the type of show that you can absolutely get nothing good from. Five main characters, Dee, Dennis, Frank, Mac and Charlie, who are absolute immoral, narcissistic sociopath, also known as “the gang”, run a ghetto Irish bar in South Philly. Here is an example illustrates how out of mind they are. When Dee told the gang that she was having a baby, the initial response from Frank, who is Dee’s father, was “do yourself a favor and flash it out.” (Youtube) We can obviously say that the gang is probably the least favorite stereotypes of sitcoms.

Additionally, another literary motif we can observe in Mel Brooks films is how the protagonist is rarely ever alone in his struggle. In “Blazing Saddles” the co-protagonist is a drunk by the name of Jim, these characters find themselves interlocked in personal and interpersonal conflicts as any other character would, though these issues are often times portrayed in a sarcastic or satirical manner opposed to a dramatic one. Lastly for the literary motifs represented in

The modern music mixed into the movie stands out. The movie, like the book, is set in the 1920’s era. Nevertheless, the audience listens to Jay-Z, Lana

Franz Kafka was an early twentieth century German-Jewish author who’s famous for writing grotesque and enigmatic novels and short stories. Almost all of Kafka’s works seemed to have a deep meaning and are difficult to identify and understand. As a matter of fact, Kafka’s works were so unique that his name was inspired as an adjective—Kafkaesque. Kafka usually referred to particular themes in his stories which revolve around justice, judgment, and the alienation or isolation of the individual. In Franz Kafka’s novellas, he demonstrates his use of grotesque and disturbing elements down along with tension between his personality, religious, and family.

The most effective of the film that represents the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald is the film “The Great Gatsby” directed by Baz Luhrmann (2013). In comparison, the “Midnight in Paris” directed by Woody Allen (2011), which did not have any effectiveness due to little reference to the actual novel. In Midnight in Paris, they did not reference the novel as much as they should have but the movie did great. Baz Luhrmann did more with the movie as like the book where characters mostly matched personalities.

Deja Vu is also defined from the French language, meaning “already seen” first used in the early 20th century. Most of us know the feeling. You’re introduced to someone, you watch a new movie, or you walk down a street in an unfamiliar city, and then suddenly, you’re struck by the uncanny sensation that you’ve been through this all before. You know it’s impossible — there’s no way you could have encountered this person, film or street — yet it all seems so familiar. We call this “déjà vu,” a French phrase meaning “already seen,” first used in the early 20th century.

Only, we must admit that it is a memory and a dream because what we experience is here and now. “Turns out Elvin was hoping that if he got friendly with me he could get Justin to help him with his film. My only consolation is that Elvin’s stupid film is also the reason he was cooing round Catriona. Because of her father. He was hoping he could get it on telly.

I was from a well-off family and lived in a peaceful neighbourhood but I could still see that the youths from marginalised communities around me felt they had nothing to look forward to and no purpose. There was also a palpable tension between them and the authorities. Oddly enough this fascinated me. My friends and I loved gangster and hood films and we would get together to watch one after the other, anything from “Goodfellas” to “Menace II Society”. After seeing “La Haine” for the first time I was stunned because here was a film that had all the story elements of my favourite films, but was set in a world that I was familiar with.

As a side note, clockwork orange is a vile, wicked movie, which you guys should not bother watching. It is a demonic, sicking piece of garbage. That is a warning. I do not suggest that you watch that disturbing, evil movie, at all. On a lighter note, the video that Bunnee just put up, not too long ago, was a waste of my time to watch, but she looks neat-looking in it in some ways, but the video is lame, for the most part, with the queerish-looking dude in it, which is not Dogman.

There 's something to be said for the kind of horror movie that while not actually scary, at least in my opinion anyway, remains incredibly re-watchable. Maybe Phantoms is scary, but lost some of the chills somewhere around the twentieth viewing. Strangely I feel that Phantoms may be more well-known from the Kevin Smith film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, rather than for its own merits. Though I do have to agree that Ben Affleck is pretty bomb in this film, he 's not the best performance.

Recently, in Dr. Buttino’s Moviemakers and Scholars Series class we had the privilege of watching a documentary film called, Fighting the Mob: The Story of Carmen Basilio. In perspective, this was very special because the story is held dearest by our own, Dr. Buttino, as he was directly involved in the story and in the making of the film. The ESPN documentary, Fighting the Mob: The Story of Carmen Basilio, was created to inform the American people about the corruption involved in the sport of boxing during the nineteen-fifties. However, I believe it is also meant to inspire the American people, especially Italian-Americans.

Love is something everyone experiences for someone else. Although one may experience love for someone, that person may not have the same feelings for them. Love for one another is mutual feelings from both parties involved in the stories that we read there was some one party having feelings. With one having feeling and the other not having the same feelings, this leads to someone getting their feelings hurt. If it was a different way besides feelings getting hurt, one could harm themselves.

From Lais The work of Marie De France who was an English poet from 1150-1200 the "Lais of Marie de France" is a book of twelve poems in a certain order called a “lay”. That was written at an unknown time during the 12th century. One of the main reasons why the theme of adoration and pride, and all things considered gentlemen or refined women. While Marie makes little action to show an intelligent message through her poems honestly in truth, every poem written in Lais considers an alternate component of adoration and life – certain topics do reflect the meaning all through.
