Jennifer Lawrence Satire

Decent Essays
Jennifer Lawrence, the actress of the American dystopian science fiction adventure film Hunger Games, only took a few years to smash both the box office and the Academy Awards, so perhaps the American actress Jennifer Lawrence is exploring a new creative frontier - filmmaking. Jennifer Lawrence confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, that she's signed on to direct a film entitled Project Delirium.

Jennifer Lawrence stated, "It's based on this article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong," Lawrence also said, "It's funny, I've always desired to helm since I was 16 years old and always thought I should start making steps towards that.

There are media outlets that have linked the Project Delirium of Jennifer Lawrence to her statement about making a comedy, however, the connection between Jennifer Lawrence and the project hasn't been confirmed.

Based on Jennifer Lawrence's spoken representation of the idea, it seems like the actress is talking about "Operation Delirium," an extended 2012 piece in the American magazine The New Yorker, which is about a psychochemical experimentation program that happen in Maryland during the Cold War. It doesn't exactly sound like comedic fodder, but it seems that Jennifer Lawrence could be working on some madcap, druggy interpretation of the piece.

Lawrence has been confident in expressing her interest in film direction in recent years. Jennifer Lawrence talked about the matter backstage after winning a Golden Globe for American Hustle (American black comedy crime film) last year, and a bunch of Lawrence's recent Vogue cover story was devoted to her fascination with the field.

However, Jennifer Lawrence is not so interested in producing a film, the actress said that, "I want to direct. But I would rather just do it than talk about

    Jodie Foster leans on two of the most revered Hollywood actors, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, to bring her new showy drama, “Money Monster”, to the forefront. Despite the stars and the pertinent topic, which targets Wall Street and its financial uncleanness, Ms. Foster stubbornly opted for a standardized approach that frustrates both our expectations and the film’s ability to find a proper voice of its own. We don’t have to wait too long for the action to begin, but that same action doesn’t take us beyond an insubstantial soap opera.…

    Mercy Warren Satire

    Mercy Otis Warren was not a promoter of women’s suffrage, nor was she a contemporary feminist. She was, however, an advocate of women’s participation in public politics. Warren had an independent mind and heart and the Revolution questioned the standard rules of political freedom for women at the time, persuading the once-obedient lady to add her own thoughts about the War. Warren was the typical calm, submissive Puritan wife—until the War began. She was willing to give up her life to God, but there were two things that she could not and would not let go of: education and politics (which was quite odd for a woman during the 17th Century).…

    Dipesh Vaghasia 2.1 I believe the “double jeopardy” clause of the Fifth Amendment would not protect Libby if she were to kill her husband. According to the Fifth Amendment, “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb” (Fifth Amendment). This means that if someone has been tired for a certain crime, they cannot be tried again for the same exact crime. So in the case of Libby in “Double Jeopardy”, she has already been convicted for her husbands murder and served her time however if she were to kill him at the end of the movie she can be convicted of killing him.…

    Satire In Brave New World

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…
