I heard about your competition through online resources and hear say, and through much thought and intense planning; I would like to make what I believe to be a plausible proposal for the movie screen. My idea stems from a trend that is developing in mainstream film today. Because of the demand for comedies satirizing teen/college culture, the idea of a pot film using the premise of Sir Gawain and Green Knight will be very profitable in the film industry.

Satirizing medieval lifestyle has been extremely successful before with youth in Britain, as well as in American culture. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), is a cult classic still being enjoyed by ages young and old, but comedy in Britain is much different from comedy in America. So, when I heard about your comp...

The movie The Proposal is a Romantic comedy released in 2008, it stars Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate and Ryan Reynolds as Andrew Paxton.

It was really remarkable and easy to watch.This movie is unlike most rom-com in the way that it brings the viewer an amazing story through a different angle, with the combination of Drama, and humor to break the

Another way that Griet and Belle show the unfair treatment towards women is how their societies view women as less than men and try to force a "yes" response to a proposal, giving them no options in their own lives. In Girl With a Pearl Earring Griet is expected to marry Pieter the Son and her family is constantly pressuring her to do so because of the meat it would provide for them. Pieter tries several times to get Griet to agree to marrying him, which she constantly tries to avoid answering. On

The timeless satire A Modest Proposal by J Swift is an influential piece of literature that created an imprint that has withstood a vast amount of time. Today any list compiling the greatest modern satires is incomplete without Kubrick’s work Doctor Strangelove or: how I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It arguably is one of the most groundbreaking modern satires. Considering the contextual differences and comparing the two pieces, it becomes evident that Swift's work is more effective

Statement I really think I can make it in the New York Film Academy because I love acting and I have the determination to take on whatever challenge is thrown at me. I loved acting every since I was a little boy. I would watch a movie and try to act like my favorite character in the movie and do exactly what that actor did. My eighth grade year I joined a reading a class. We learned how to read more fluently and enunciate are words better. We would also have to act like one or two characters in that book
Many people know about or have heard about a magical place called Disney World. Children dream about this wonderful world filled with their favorite movie characters and dream of going to meet them in person. Disney World is a place where kids can be kids, and adults can feel like kids again. What people do not think about most often, when they think about this magical place, is the people behind the magic, or the person who made the dream alive for us to experience.

An example of satire is the film Dumb and Dumber. One part of this movie uses irony to focus on people who do not listen. Irony is the discrepancy between what is said and what is done. For example, Harry talks about how his old girlfriend broke up with him. Harry says, “She gave me a bunch a crap about me not listening
