Mel Brooks

strikes me as a personal fan of Gene Wilder. Written with compassion and empathy, this piece makes the audience wants to participate and find out more about who Gene Wilder was. Overall, it is an informative article. Daniel Lewis, really honors Gene Wilder 's memory and instead of focusing on his death, is celebrating his life. The reader has a better grasp of the life of gene wilder as a comedian, a person, an author, a husband, a father and a wonderfully gifted actor who will definitely be missed. There were so many people touched by his passing, none more so then the people he loved and called friends. Comedy legend in his own right, Mel Brooks was one of Wilder 's great friends and this article from Time Magazine does a good job portraying their friendship both on and off screen. Unfortunately it does not get any deeper than Wilder and Brook 's film career. Though the reader may notice a lack of perspective on the part of the author. It is an excerpted piece from life magazine, rewritten by Larry Sutton. It lacks sentimentality and originality. The pictures look like they are copied straight out of Life magazine onto the page and are of very poor quality. This article 's redemptive quality is that it gives us a completely different view on Wilder 's career and what it was like to work with him as a real friend. While inquiring into this cleverly neurotic funny man I stumble onto an article by People magazine written by Stephanie Petit. This source mostly…

Mel Brooks Mel Brooks has left an immeasurable statement in the entertainment world. He is a comedian, producer, writer, actor, filmmaker, composer, and songwriter. Brooks is known for his sense of humor. He always seems to know the appropriate time to hit the punch line and leave everyone with a chuckle. Brooks has directed a number of classics.

the film. Mel Brooks, renown comical director and screenwriter is one instance of the undeniability of the Auteur Theory. Despite Mel Brook’s complete involvement in his films, writing, co-writing, directing, and even starring in many of his films, the cinematic and thematic consistencies in his works truly represent his authority and creative signature on…

In the satirical film Blazing Saddles directed by Mel Brooks in 1974 his main objective was to poke fun at the genre of western films. Mel Brooks is famous for producing many other satirical films but Blazing Saddles is considered one of the most comical movies of all time. Every western film contains the same three elements which are a sheriff, gunslinger and a villain. With these elements in mind Mel Brooks decided to add a more modern twist to a western film and that twist was racism. Mel…

Young Frankenstein, directed by Mel Brooks, is a parody of Mary Shelley's famous book Frankenstein. A parody is a remake of an existing writer, artist, or genre that is exaggerated for comedic effect. In this case, Frankenstein has a serious and dark tone while Young Frankenstein is lighthearted and humorous. In Frankenstein, Victor creates the monster by himself in his room. In Young Frankenstein, Frederick creates the monster with the help of Inga and Igor in a giant castle. This scenario is a…

Shakespeare 's famous play Hamlet. Since 1900, there have been over fifty films of this play have been made, and all have been unique in their own way. The 1990 version of Hamlet, starring Mel Gibson, is one of the more recent and popular…

believe the term is known as ‘white-washing’. An excuse for white-washing in films by their producers and directors other than the Charles Bunnett, is that the audience will relate more with a white cast. Those excuses seem to puzzle me a lot especially since history have proved against them. One example is Aloha (2015), the films cast Emma Stone as the female lead (Allison Ng) who is meant to be Chinese and Hawaii decent plus the casting of Caucasians as majority residents of Hawaii despite…

one does not picture an undernourished little girl waiting for the harsh winter to pass. It’s what happened though, and it can happen to anyone. It is just what one does in the situation that determines their future. Audrey Hepburn picked herself up, dusted herself off (literally) and moved on with her life, continuing to pursue her dream. Sometimes it feels as if life doesn’t get tired of throwing obstacles in our way. This is exactly how Audrey Hepburn must’ve felt when only months after…

Throughout the years the “Passion of the Christ” movies have been used to tell the story about Christ’s death and resurrection. Then in 2004 Mel Gibson made his version of the movie and as I like to say brought it in to the 21st century with updated graphics, violence, and blood. The combination of images, faith, and history this film truly was like no other Passion of Christ movie ever done. The Passion of the Christ is a serious and deep piece of cinematography, it not just show us how much…
