Superbad

Both American Graffiti and Superbad highlight the character’s view of the adult world as being something to fear by including adult characters who can’t let go of their adolescence. In American Graffiti, John is older than his high school friends. He is “the king of the town” and the best drag racer. Throughout the film, he seems to be on the brink of letting go of his reckless adolescent past but never seems to reach this conclusion. One example is when Falfa (Harrison Ford) is racing him and runs a red light while John stops. This shows that he is starting to realize his recklessness and although, to his admittance, that he will not go off to college like the other characters, he will be able to move on from his adolescent persona. After John loses the drag race with Falfa, John…

Superbad, one of the most iconic bromance films of all time. When asked what this movie is about, many say two things; at first glance, on the surface it seems like this film is all about going through hell just to get laid and to get alcohol, but I’d argue that there is a deeper part of the story, it is about two bros dealing with some “relationship problems”. Those two bros are Seth and Evan. Seth and Evan have been life long friends and are now coming to the end of their senior year of high…

Have you ever been so distracted that you just don’t realize what is really going on in the world? I was so excited when I finally had the opportunity to do what my parents did not approve of it gave me such an adrenaline rush. I was so lost living in a fantasy world that I forgot about what was real and what wasn’t. I expected the world to be what I saw in movies, as was the case when I first saw the film “Superbad”, not know what to expect I went on and watched the movie. What came after was a…

closed the 2013 Tribeca Film festival. The Films that I am focusing on is 21 Jump Street and Superbad which where both colour graded by John Persichetti. They are both comedies that relate to a different way to grade a comedy.  "The use of colour grading to reflect the central character’s frame of mind (i.e. intoxicated) is however used well to convey their emotions to the audience." (Matt Brodigan,2011) Matt Brodigan talks about how in the film Superbad, John used the colour to show the…

paper. Regarding Clay, auditory and visual hallucinations formed as a result of Hannah’s death is also an extreme grieving method and one almost no one truly goes through. Teenagers are very unlikely to lash out over minor conflicts. Also when high schoolers are depressed or grief stricken they are not likely to experience stages of grief as serious as what is portrayed. Like other demographics, most teenagers will not end up going through the extremes in reaction to very troublesome…

uncontrolled actions are their fault. Instead boys should be taught to respect girls, and not to sexualize them. While girls cannot expose their shoulders, they are exposed to half naked woman on televisions and in advertisements. Normalizing the hyper-sexualized clothing, while at the same time slut-shaming girls who dress as such. Rape jokes are also a side of rape culture, humor is used to normalize rape. Strain even mentions things such as making jokes simple as if a guy pays for dinner,…
