Animated family comedy movies usually follow a cliched plot involving a happy-go-lucky hero who has an adventure which involves defeating an evil villain, and living heppily ever after. Despite being shamelessly predictable and ridiculously simple, they are fun to watch and are favorites of many people. But what if we change the plot drastically, what if we destroyed the fun and jolly atmosphere of the movie, what if the hero is a character so grim and evil, despicable becomes an understatement? Would we enjoy the movie to the same extent, would we be able to accept the protaganist as the main character, and the most important question: will it still be fun to watch? If you want a movie which staisfies all the above constraints and is still …show more content…
Seems like a normal comedy movie, right? The catch lies in the movie's protaganist, he's an evil genius aiming to become the world's most infamous criminal, named Gru. Leading an army of hundreds of artificially created uncontrollable and ever hungry minions, ready to devour any thing in their way, Gru's journey to the top seems simple enough, but is it? Does it still seem like a cheerful animated movie? I would advise getting a check-up if it still does. Contrary to the description, the movie is simply hilarious, it'll amuse you till no end. Even though it has an evil villain as the main character, the atmosphere remains cheerful and light with the movie continuously entertaining with it's share of weirdness, for …show more content…
Our protagonist Gru, is shown as a grumpy, tall, bald man with blue eyes, long nose and broad, powerful physique. If his looks aren't enough to make you laugh, his accent promises to deliver the final blow. Other major characters include three girls who are subsequently adopted by Gru in order to aid in his super evil plan. They are kind and clever and also add another pinch of cuteness to the movie. They're involved in the emotional parts of the movie which make it more appealing. Even though, Gru and the girls are great, the spotlight is stolen by the ever-so-lovely minions. These yellow creatures are incredibly funny to watch, almost all of the funny parts in the movie involve them in someway or the other. The way Gru treats the minions and the girls add another aspect to his character and proves that he isn't rotten to the
The film received mostly positive reviews. Roger Ebert praised the film as "one of those stories with the quality of a nightmare, in which foolish young men try to out-macho one another until they get trapped in a violent situation which will forever alter their lives.”
In my opinion, this movie is boring and confusing for the first time but, from the second time, this movie starts reveal the fascination. At the first time, I do not like this movie so much but after I watched second time, I became to like this movie. If I asked
“Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both” (Roosevelt). The goal of America’s legal system as we know it is that everyone is given an equal opportunity to stick up for what they may or may not have done, as described by former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Also this is what officials strive for, it is not always the case. Facts can be skewed, distorted, or misrepresented to make one side seem to be guilty without a doubt and to make the other side seem as if they have done nothing wrong. The Crucible by Arthur Miller begins and ends with one-sided accusations of witchcraft. It all results from a group of girls who had been dancing in the woods. After two fall sick, the accusations begin. The girls who were dancing, especially Abigail Williams begin blaming others to look less guilty themselves. Accusations are flying left and right so that soon, hundreds are in jail and over a dozen are executed. Abby’s main goal is to get rid of Elizabeth Proctor, so she can be with John Proctor, a man she previously had an affair with. However, John is not interested in Abby and his
In the introduction, the author has done a good job engaging the audience with emotions, and painting a vivid scene of the seals being slaughtered. This essay does a good job of acknowledging the other point of views. This essay also has a good, clear sense of structure. The author has a strong thesis statement, that gave a clear indication of what the following paragraphs are about.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.
...r, this movie is lack of depth of storyline. The audiences can even predict what will happen in the next scenes. Moreover, the ending of this movie is too cheesy and irrational according to me. If only they change the ending to become more interesting and rational, I will give a four or five stars out of five. In spite of a lame twist ending, this movie is a perfect example to show that managers should be able to motivate and challenge their employee. It is important to remember that a happy employee means a productive employee.
Throughout the film, viewers witness Gru’s self-concept drastically changing. This is very important to recognize because self-concept influences the “roles we play, social identities we form, the comparisons we make with others, and our successes and failures” (Meyers, 40). In the beginning, Gru collectively characterizes himself as a villain, and as a result, forms a social identity as an evil individual. He does not compare himself to a layperson, such as his next-door neighbor, but rather to other villains and their criminal accomplishments. His self-concept influences the role he plays in society, and hence his behavior and actions. Gru’s behavior can be described as selfish, as he is solely concerned of his own gains and benefits, and very aggressive. He shapes his behavior to emphasize his social role of a villain. For example, in the beginning of the film, when Gru sees a young boy crying because he dropped his ice cream, he makes a balloon animal for him. When the boy begins to smile, Gru then proceeds to pull out a pin and pop the balloon. When he encounters a long time...
Of course this movie is one of the best from Pixar Animation Studios, whose animation is outstanding. Rating: Monsters Inc. gets five stars from the incredible settings, the actually intriguing conflict, arresting climax, and joyful dénouement. Wonderfully the thought and imagination shine throughout the whole movie manifesting itself by the details put in, from the scratches on a building in the Monstropolis suburbs to the flowing, individual hairs on Sulley’s monster body. The movie is superb. It is inevitable for families to grab some chairs, and watch this great movie with Mike, Sulley, Randall, and Boo, because it’s that awesome. This movie is family and monster friendly alike.
This film does however have instances of humor which only work well given that it is a Dark

What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
In my own opinion I think this film is great. I think this because it
