Kung Fu Hustle is paying respect to Hong Kong martial arts films and culture, but more often as spoofs and derides to Hollywood action films and hero. Szeto mentions that Chow criticized the Hollywood films and heroes with cross cultural. In Stephen Chow’s interview, Chow mentioned that “wanted to show that the spirit of martial arts film is not just about fighting”
The casting of Chow’s films always is uncharacteristically. In Kung Fu Hustle, Chow mocks the heroism that should be physically fit and charming, but he chooses the poor, the old and the effeminate as the potential heroes. This parody of character can reenact martial arts films by changing the myths of gender and sexuality in traditional culture.

    Lee’s manifesto. There’s an annoying cheesiness and a tricky coziness in this approach that feel so intense that is what we most remember after the credits roll rather than the favorable moments. “Chi-Raq” is a volatile dramatic comedy that manages to be classified as watchable only because of the pacifist banner it holds. Mr. Lee, who co-wrote with Kevin Willmott, doesn’t convince me since “Inside Man” and keeps stumbling in the execution regardless the potentiality of the plots. It happened with “Red Hook Summer” and “Da Sweet Blood of Jesus”, not to speak of the unnecessary American remake of the memorable Korean version of “Old…

    The Daily Show is a source of controversy when its affect on democracy is analyzed. Some critics, like Roderick P. Hart and E. Johanna Hartelius who wrote “The Political Sins of Jon Stewart”, believe that Jon Stewart and his use of cynicism are harmful to Democracy. Conversely, Robert Harriman who wrote “In Defense of Jon Stewart” concedes that Jon Stewart is a cynic “for [the purpose] of coming to the key point of judgment” (274) although he considers Jon Stewart a helpful defender of democracy rather than a harmful offender. Similarly, Lisa Colletta the author of “Political Satire and Postmodern Irony in the Age of Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart” feels that satire, rather than cynicism, which she believes is the form of rhetoric that Jon Stewart uses, is beneficial to democracy. In all, through an analysis of Roderick P. Hart and E. Johanna Hartelius’ “The Political Sins of Jon Stewart”, Robert Harriman’s “In Defense of Jon Stewart”, and Lisa Colletta’s “Political Satire and Postmodern Irony in the Age of Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart” I feel that Jon Stewart’s use of satire on The Daily Show is constructive for democracy.…

    Strategies such as this allow the people to see a politician from a different angle than they normally would be exposed to. This side seems to be a more human, relatable side of the politician. According to Kolbert, “the most devastating joke is circulated not by an irreverent observer or a sly opponent but by the target himself” Parodies might be self-exposed, or credit given to an outside source, usually a late-night talk show. While a politician may easily lose control of what the media says about him or her, resulting in unfavorable shadows of themselves, self-induced parody is the opposite. Taking the initiative of restoring one’s personal, human image allows the ability to laugh off any downfalls.…

    Chinatown Film Analysis

    “Basically, they do in different ways what Polanski does in Chinatown: set the elements of a conventional popular genre in an altered context”. Although it doesn’t follow every guideline for a classic film noir film Chinatown is an example of the genre. The film simply takes place in modern times (when it came out). The 1970’s even provides a similar backdrop for the film to that of 1940’s film noir, a major war affecting the country. The film itself contains many key characteristics that noir will always be known for. Some of the characteristics include the style of the film, the femme fatale, and the emphasis of fatalism. I believe that even with some of the drastic differences between classic noir films and this one Chinatown is a modern…
