The Simpsons Movie Post

Parody: My favorite parody  is actuall a parody inside a parody which is Grand Theft Walrus which makes a reference to a dancing penguine from Happy Feet (that gets shot)

Irony: My favorite ironic moment was when the church and the bar trades places when the dome comes

Pun: My favorite pun of the movie is when Predsident Schwartzinager says "I was choosen to lead not to read"

Satire: My favorite Social Satire is when every one in the city dumps garbage in the lake

V for Vendetta

Government, it can do great things or terrible things both of each would change history and lives. The movie V for Vendetta shows the government doing terrible things and getting out of hand. I myself give this movie a 5 out of 5, V for Vendetta  a 2006 movie directed by James McTeigue and starring Hugo Weaving as V and Natalie Portman as Eve.

The plot of the movie starts at a portrayal of what Guy Fawkes' assasination was like and then shows a girl going somewhere and some rugged looking men come out of a dark spot in an ally and plan to rape and kill her. They also turn out to be some kind of government cops. Before they get a chance to rape her a man wearing a dark cloak and a Guy Fawkes stops them. he brings her to see the bombing of the Bailey he goes to blow up the televisoin staition company and Eve helps him escapes but she gets knocked out and wakes up in his house. Then he starts killing the heads of a concentraition camp and Eve escapes to hide with her friend's house who gets arrested and killed Eve is captured  and questioned about V for a week. Before she was schedualed to be executed she says she is not afraid of death and is let go she leaves her hall and finds herself back in V's house and she leaves. Next year she finds V and they plan to blow up parliment then V goes to kill the Chancellor and then the chancellors right hand in the process he is mortally wounded comes back and then dies Eve starts the process of blowing up Parliment.

I think the political message in this movie is that Anarchy is good it has a place in government but should be more major instead of limited to electing the person to choose for you. Another message wich has happened before this in real life which is a democracy can become a communism like Germany and Hitler because he was put into power like the High Chancellor in the movie.

Now this movie is about not having a controlling central government and it gets 5 outt 5 it was a rell y good movie overal it has no bad quality about it.

Slumdog Millionaire

Ever think about winning the lottery or getting on price is right and coming back in a new truck filled with money. Well The movie Slumdog Millionaire talks about a dirtpoor indian man getting on Who Wants to be a Millionaire and winning. I've Given Slumdog Millionaire 4 outta 5 because its a great movie great story great plot good acting, with a couple discrepencies such as the steriotype of americans.

 The plot of the movie goes like this a man is walking into a jail and finds a man chained upand a cop interigating him. Well then he is questioned about how he knows each answer wich brings him to flashbacks to when he was 5 years old. The first question was about a famous actor and his flashback shows about  how his mom dies and how he meets Latika who is reluctently let Jamal take her in. the next flashback shows how a gangster tricks them into being  beggars when he plans to burn Jamal's eyes to make him blind but him and Samal and Latika run for it Jamal and Salim make it on a train but Salim lets Latika be left behind. Then they make it by by stealing and selling shoes and other stuff. They go back to their slum to get Latika back and Samil shot the gangster that owned them and he kicked Jamal out. Jamal finds Latika and Samil works for the gangster owned their slum who he gave Latika to gain his trust. Jamal pretends to work in his house to see her. He goes on Who Wants to be a Millionaire to try and find Latika. Samil finally helps Latika leave and kills his boss but after he is killed also but when Jamal wins the grand prize she finds Latika and they leave.

Now the  movie was really good movie it gets a conservative 4 out of 5 great everything except their take on americans. So now when you think of doing somthing and winning big your not the only one. this has been another movie review good bye.
