The Godfather Satire

155 Words1 Page

I admire your post, fantasy films like Pinocchio, do teach children moral values. However, truth, courage, and selflessness are a lot for a young child to learn without a ton of bumps in the process. Nevertheless, even, with a conscience, mistakes happen; temptation can get the best of anyone, to say the least, a child. I selected “The Godfather,” who also taught a lesson of greed, from the genre, Gangster film, the movie presented a lot of truths, assassination style, and intimidation. The films and genres are different and the same, in real life a wooden puppet would never come to life. In today’s world, a gangster would think twice before leaving the head of a horse in someone’s bed, way too much security, or immediate retaliation

  • Satirical Events In The Story Of Benito Cereno

    353 Words  | 2 Pages

    Yes there are moments when the order of narrated events varies from their chronological place in the story. In the narrative timeline, you start in September of 1799, whereas the actual chronological events started in May of 1799 with the San Dominick leaving South America. Readers are also not given the backstory of actual event until the end of Benito Cereno- so for most of the story Captain Aranda is unknown, the slaves led by Boba controlling the ship is unknown (the whole slave backstory is unknown), and that Cereno is a prisoner and why the ship is going to Lima is unknown. All the actual events are unknown and basically ‘backwards’ (besides Delano’s own true thoughts.)

    Have you ever read Cinderella? It’s a beautiful story in which a prince falls in love with the underdog. However, behind all of the romance and glass slippers, there is a valuable life lesson; remain kind when surrounded by bad behavior, and you will be rewarded. Stories like these, such as red riding hood, Rapunzel, and the 3 little pigs etc. made it so that children could learn simple values while being engulfed with the beauty and glamour of the fairytale. Throughout the stories, human nature was camouflaged in characters so subtly that the children were never aware of the capabilities of mankind.

    Though it might sound superficial and most of us don 't like to admit it, traveling abroad is the perfect excuse to shop. It 's a feeling that whatever you purchase you will be unable to find back home because it is one of a kind and unique to its country of origin (and the classic mind trick also helps when prices look a lot lower because you conveniently forget to convert the currency. Why do math on vacation?). Whatever your excuse, a vacation simply compels one to shop.

    The media today controls everybody; the way they act, the way they talk, and the way people see things. Within the movie “The Truman Show”, it shows a great deal of indirect satire because of the way the adoptive father, also the director, hints to satire but never specifically hits one specific person, place, or thing but its does lean toward reality T.V. Another reason that indirect satire is present in this movie is because Truman lives his life out of proportion, sort of like everything is exaggerated. The huge studio he calls his home is constantly being recorded and broadcasted live to the entire world as a reality T.V. show and Truman has no clue about it.
