out of love. They lie, they cheat, they dominate, and they are formidably dominated. Memorable unruly characters and lasting theatrics, where the Bard releases piquant humor and mischief in The Taming of The Shrew (Shr.), c. 1593, one of his first comedies (The British Library). Aptly, the play satirizes mores of its Tudor epoch, stirring and plays within a play where diction bites. Theatrically, the work is based, in principle, about courtship upsetting dynamics, marital proposals, and…

and Netflix. {laughs} Nevertheless, there are some cool projects that stick out. I usually play bad asses, which I absolutely live for {laughs}, but I just wrapped on a pilot called Dad Inc, written, directed and produced by Jack Roberts and--it's comedy! It's a newer thing for me. ( I…

What first appears to be a film about war and the separation between the two Koreas is, in actuality, a heartfelt comedy that touches on the innocence and good that exists in all people. Park Kwang-hyun uses not only technical camera movements and graphics to explain these themes, but he also incorporates symbolism and thoughtful timing in dialogue, presentation, and delivery. Park Kwang-hyun has a cinematic style all his own. Although Hayao Miyazaki inspired his film, there are clear…

“There's only one thing better than the cutest cat in the world. Any Dog” Daniel Tosh. Daniel Tosh is a comedy who is self centered, cocky, arrogant, patronizing, but yet outspoken fun guy to be around. At the end of the day he gets his idea across that what most people are doing in society or in politics aren’t good things. He is a lot like Mark Twain of this generation. Mark Twain would also take jabs at politicians and social issues that he didn’t agree with. He did this while using humor.…

Being popular in high school can truly be a struggle. Mean Girls is a teen comedy film loosely based on the self-help book titled Queen Bees and Wannabes. The main character is a high school student named Cady that just moved from Africa and has been homeschooled her whole life. The American culture and society she is introduced to is embodied by the Plastics, who are the most popular girls at North Shore High: Regina, Gretchen, and Karen. Mean Girls criticizes the idea that women can only be…

prominent representatives of the early Renaissance were Petrarch and Pico de Mirandola. Both introduced humanism to the Renaissance and were influenced by the late medieval writer and poet Dante Alighieri. Dante was best known for writing “The Divine Comedy”, which is a trilogy of poems that take you on a journey through the three layers of the afterlife:…

Darkness, Light, Darkness directed by Jan Svankmajer is an interesting, thrilling, and impressive short film. While only seven minutes long, Svankmajer is able to project creative yet disturbing images that many critics struggle to give single meaning. The short is full of attractions created with stop-motion editing that creates a strong narrative on humanity. The film begins with darkness just as the title suggest. A door creaks and suddenly a light appears that is shown to be turned on by…

Reading, "Me Talk Pretty One Day", by David Sedaris, is like being at a stand-up comedy show. The article is full of puns and points that make you feel as though you are suffering through this French class with him. Despite all the humor in it, there are some main points I believe he is trying to convey. David Sedaris' main claim of perseverance is well argued, because the author never gives up in spite of a teacher who is rough with him, he spends extra time on his school work while immersing…

usually great country. Colbert makes homophobia seem single-minded, sexists look like Neanderthals, censorship childish, and Racists as outdated and unwanted as the United States’ Postal Service. As I stated earlier satire is a complicated form of comedy, as an example the Stephen Colbert you have likely seen today on the Colbert Report is not actually what the man is like off camera. Though I know from news interviews of Colbert being out of character that he is Catholic, from the South, but…

without giving up their dignity, and dealing with their parents who were complete opposites. This brought together “Pride and Prejudice” and Booker's 7 Plots showing examples of comedy. Comedy is when a Story begins in a confusion but clears up at towards the end creating enlightenment. Unlike the six other plots, comedy returns to happiness when the…
