There are many ideas in this world that you can turn into separate categories. Examples are types of teachers, types of books, and more. In this essay the reader will be able to learn the differences between three types of movies. These types of movies include, romance, horror, and comedy. Now, there are many upon many romance movies but how do we distinguish them from one another? Is it the sex scenes, the lovey dovey affections we see between the characters? We cannot know for sure. Horror movies are downright the best (just kidding, people prefer other types rather than horror), yet again, how do we distinguish these movies from others? Blood and gore?

When tracking the evolution of the plot through the book, written by Valentine Davies, and the 1947, ‘73, and ‘94 movies there are a few key continuities and changes. Chief among the constant elements of the plot are the Christmas theme, idea of imagination, and the importance of family. Christmas spirit and the belief in Santa Claus is the focal point in each version of the movie, just like the book.

It is this mix that so marks the play out from pure comedies such as
Most of us have seen a movie that has made us almost cry from laughter. This is what comes to mind when we think of comedies. We are correct, comedies exist to entertain the audience. The film Nebraska does this, they engage their public. Nebraska captivates the viewers with its humor. The film makes the characters exaggerated and stereotypes to make it humorous.

In “Patch Adams” he soothes the cancer patients and kemo children with a clown nose and jokes. Taking a serious situation and making it better. “Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien—but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.” (7 Quotes from Robin Williams, for Communicatorss (PR News).

The first instance of ambiguity between comedy/drama begins directly at the beginning credits of the film, with the brilliant shot of a uniform waltzing party, in carousel motion, or a perfect circle. From my perspective, I was unable to recognize w...
...dness but comedy was used as an emotion. When Michael was going to make a "citizens arrest" at the banks, there was comedy there, sort of like sarcasm which is known to sway a person's thoughts if it is funnier in the sense. The whole movie really shows a lot of emotions and tries to persuade our thoughts on the government with it.
Humor is more than just amusing entertainment to pass the time. Though jokes and witty banter can be shallow, humor can go deeper than surface level to convey messages to audiences who would otherwise be close-minded about certain ideas. Humor is a great tool to get audiences to change the way they think, feel, and act. In “Saying Goodbye to Yang,” Alexander Weinstein uses humor to criticize some of society’s faults such as the way it has become heavily reliant on technology, racially insensitive, and judgmental.
