Movie Analysis: The Boondock Saints

Decent Essays
The Boondock Saints is actually one of my favorite movies as well. I got extremely excited when I read your post because not many people have seen that movie which makes me sad because it is so hilarious. I love how they wore rosaries and thought it was their calling from God to kill all those bad guys. I don't think the sequel was that bad I was kind of mad that they replaced Smecker though. I love how the movie had a mixture of genres. There was action, comedy, and violence. I don't think there was ever a dull moment in that movie. The protagonists of course were the brothers and Agent Smecker was the antagonist. The conflict was that Smecker was going after the people the killers and was getting really close to finding out who they were.

    Scenes from a Parish Paper After watching Scenes from a Parish, I found that much of the efforts made within St. Patrick’s related to St. Francis’s story when he responded to the call to restore the church of San Damiano. As St. Francis worked on the church, he was able to attract followers and form a Franciscan community. I found St. Partick’s Church to follow a similar philosophy in several instances. First of all, the church maintained a lay character and accepted any person who needed assistance. For instance, as the food center was completed, volunteers went around the city informing all groups of people that this food center would be available to them whenever they needed it.…

    The daily life of an incarcerated individual is spent wasting away the hours, searching for a glimpse of hope in their personal lives. The media, especially in the film industry, has portrayed what can be defined as a “utopian” life, as life outside of prison, a complete opposite of the dystopian characteristics of being incarcerated. The search for a “utopian” lifestyle is “analogous to a quest for grace which is both existential and relational” (Klonowska). To an average person, an incarcerated individual is not typically perceived as someone who searches for greatness. Although prison films may serve as a source entertainment, they distort the image of a prison in order to appeal to the audience and to enhance the plots.…

    I personally enjoyed the film, although they suggested the events that were to occur later, I kept watching with enthusiasm because I wanted to see how they would play out. The diction that the brothers used throughout the film created a negative attitude towards them, although Winthorpe and Billy Ray were the ones to be involved in a legal mess, other characters gained sympathy. Ophelia and Coleman were the ones I was rooting for, they had a job of taking care of others needs from the beginning of the film, and were taken advantage of without receiving appreciation. The wealthy characters such as Penelope and her friends, through the diction and the events were not very liked. The story plaid on a serious issue, which was people’s overwhelming need to consume no matter who or how many people they took advantage of.…
