Fifty Shades Of Grey Analysis

Improved Essays
There’s no question that history will remember Marlon Wayans as a complete and utter screwball – and I don’t mean for that to sound like a harsh criticism, either. Wayans may not contribute to the world of cinema in a traditional fashion – by undertaking roles of, well – any kind of sustainable substance. Quite simply – he willfully (and happily, fro the looks of it) makes a living by mocking easily mock-able products.

Most famously, Wayans has made some of Hollwyood’s finest modern productions into the butt of his jokes – like Boyz n the Hood (Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood), Scream (Scary Movie), and Paranormal Activity (A Haunted House). And, whether you embrace his parody antics or not – it’s impossible to deny his head-scratching box office draw.

In Wayan’s latest project, Fifty Shades of Black, the film spends the vast majority of its runtime mocking the popular novel-to-film adaptation, Fifty Shades of Grey – almost verbatim. But – in case you didn’t see

And, with that sentiment in mind – it succeeds in doing so. Obviously, this is far from Marlon Wayan’s best work, nor is it a memorable parody – like Scary Movies or Spaceballs. However, despite what some may say about it, Fifty Shades of Black – similar in tone as Dirty Grandpa – are not bad films. They simply set out to satisfy a specific demographic. In the end, though, Fifty Shades of Black will be yet another contender for the worst movie of the year. Fortunately, that’s a determination made by people that simply don’t understand what they’re watching and why they’re watching it. On that note, I’ll happily admit that Fifty Shades of Black was time well spent for me, but then again, I enjoy Marlon Wayans and his brand of humor. So, sexual innuendo and penis jokes galore are your thing, this film will absolutely be worth you

    The other notable here is Googy Gress playing the villain of the piece Foster Cotton. Gress doesn’t actually fight the preposterous nature of the story, he dives in head first, and benefits from it. That’s the problem with the other actors who NIGHTMARE CODE has an original and somewhat refreshing story, but lacks a sense of fear or tension because of the filmmaking choices made. It’s a subpar debut for director Mark Netter, but there’s still promise in the enticing stories he could bring to the…

    Now obviously the visual effects in mediocre films are not as strong as those in fantastic movies. There still needs to be some sort of visual effect, even if it’s not very good. Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed is one of my favorite movies, but I consider it mediocre because the visual effects are unrealistic. Not all films can afford the best actors. George of the Jungle 2 hired a different actor to play the main role of George.…

    I felt as if the producers over used dramatic sound effects to make up for the lack of dialogue which again in turn made the film seem cliche and not very funny at all. I am the type of person to find nearly everything funny except when it is tried too hard to be funny. Also, I felt as if the sole purpose of all silent films were to be funny and had no real plot. This film had just the right amount of comedy, some parts were funny but it had a real plot. The comedic parts tied in well with the plot.…

    An experience akin to the previous example is another tweet directed toward actor John Krasinski. The tweet read: “your face is so stupid i hate you." Again, in actuality, this tweet means “I find you very attractive.” This form of insult-as-a-positive goes beyond older generations understanding of insults. The celebrities and the employees tasked to select the mean tweets possess an unfamiliarity with this form of joking and complimenting, conversely affecting their ability to decipher the lack of antagonistic content. The insult itself is a joke, but the meaning is a…

    Gore is overused because it works, it’s a key feature for a build up, but not gigantic one. And of course, like the majestic queen of crappy Horror games that thinks that Albino Lullaby is amazing, you cannot see beyond your eyebrows, even with full brightness and eyes glued to the screen, I could see nothing. Because, you know? Black is a scary color, or at least that’s what these developers…

    “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.” So preaches Michael Douglas in his Oscar-winning role as immoral businessman Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. Stone’s follow-up to his Best Picture winner Platoon¸ Wall Street does not have quite the reputation Platoon does. I have not seen Platoon, but it seems that this makes sense because Wall Street is not a very entertaining or interesting movie because, although greed may be good, Stone forgot that clarity is good too. The plot of this movie is simple enough. Charlie Sheen plays an ambitious young stockbroker named Bud Fox who possesses a will to do anything necessary to succeed in his career.…

    Although The Dude’s character is written to crack wise throughout the film, his wit seems to parody the genre rather than emblematize it. Perhaps this makes Lebowski the most defiant detective yet, as he not only scoffs at several characters within the film, but also would likely scoff at the film itself. When one of Treehorn’s thugs stuffs his face into a toilet and asks, “Where 's the money, Lebowski,” he responds with an almost bored attitude, “it 's down there somewhere, let me take another look.” (Coen). A moment of violence meant to instill fear is met with disinterested complacency. Another line in this sequence, “You’re obviously not a golfer,” similarly communicates a vague irritation, rather than authentic torment (Coen).…

    Therefore I wouldn't change any of the actors out except for Dally because He is way more mean and rude in the Movie than the book. In conclusion, I think that the Outsiders book and the Outsiders movie had many similarities along with a lot of differences that made the movie better than the book. From Ponyboy getting shoved to the floor or Dally pointing a gun at a doctor's face this book as a good general story behind it. Which makes this movie one of my favorite novels that became a…

    Ocean's Eleven

    My favorite element in the movie, however, is the dramatic irony in which these audience knows what the characters are planning to do, whereas the other characters in the film are oblivious to this. Often I find myself figuring out the next step even before the crew does, but at the end, everything you think you know is thrown out of the window. The characters end up in situations I never see coming, and the explanations of how they get out of them and how they pull off the heist prove that nothing is too hard for the Ocean’s Eleven. As one can see, “Ocean’s Eleven” is a classic heist thriller that ends up being so much more. Following the story of ex-convict, Danny Ocean, it dives into the past of each character and what makes them unique.…

    The intricate plot functions as a diversion to overlook what is literally in front of the audience the entire movie. Furthermore, Robert stated in his review that “the "solution," when it comes, solves little - unless there is really little to solve, which is also a possibility”. He acknowledges what the author was trying to do; but neglects why the author framed it this way. Specifically, if the plot wasn’t perplexingly complex; the movie would lose its “magic”; the “usual suspects” would be a “usual”, easily predictable movie. Likewise, the movie is told in “Verbal’s” protagonist point of view; yet he can also be regarded as the antagonist of the film since verbal is revealed to be Soze at the end of the film.…
