I'm doing my paper on the movie 1 million ways to die in the West.
It was written by Seth McFarlane and produced by Seth McFarlane. He plays the main character in my opinion is a great comedic actor. This character is, off-the-wall and kind of way out there for Western is afraid of everything. Hence, the name of the movie 1 million ways to die West is always coming up with ways that he can die in the West and tries to make light of it. The other actors are main stage actors of today such as Ms. Theron her character in this Western is the damsel in distress and is married to the villain in the movie he is a bank robber train robber and murderer her character married him one. She was very young, tender age of 13. Because she did not want me, spinster at 15 she had no clue that he was such a bad man the comedic roles in this were just absolutely hilarious Seth has such a dry, witty sense of humor. The way that the movie was set up with the comedic roles of the actors and actresses goes along the lines with the movie blazing saddles from the mid-70s Seth character would be talking to his friends out on the street and talking about why he does not want to go to the big city but he just wants to stay there a little cities of his town of old stump, he was sent there explaining to one of his friends there's all sorts of ways of dying in the West and 1 Across the St. They see the icehouse and a new block of ice coming in and man hauling the ice and watching it as it slips and falls and crushes and smashes one of the workers the way that he lose and on this and screams about it and his partner to get help but laugh about the way he makes violence funny is a credit to his comedic stature. The way that the actors and actresses intermingle between each other and balanced tongue-in-cheek comedy off of each other while keeping with the ways of the old West and their traditions of putting a modern twist and flair on the comedic Western. It was time for another great classic

    Blazing Saddles, a Mel Brooks film, is a perfect example of satire. The main object of the movie is to make fun of the western genre of films. Mel Brooks is notorious for his satires of many different films and film genres, and Blazing Saddles follows true to form as, in some opinions, one of the funniest films made. Many of the film's ideas and problems are common in most westerns, although Mel Brooks has added a twist. In addition, the movie pokes fun at a more modern theme, racism.…

    The movie was entertaining. It had a lot of funny moments. For instance, when Walter and his boss were fighting in the elevator over a childhood toy called Strechy Arm Strong. But the funniest part for me was watching adult men acting like little kids. The scene that got me laughing so…

    With so much hubbub given to the lenses and the format used to shot this film, one may expect to find many shots of huge mountains and outdoor sets. But these unique features are instead almost exclusively used for up close, tight situations, almost entirely in the stuffy cabin. Each unique character is simultaneously slowly unfolded. The script offers everyone opportunities to stand out, and they all do, but the greatest performances are given by both, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Walton Goggins. The Samuel L Jackson character is great, but many times Tarantino references the actors iconic image, by slowing down funny lines and making him say self-referential lines that don't seem to fit in. It often feels like Tarantino is poking you in the ribs saying “huh? did you see what he just said, wasn't it…

    Buster Keaton’s role in The General perfectly epitomizes the utilization of comedy during the Silent Film Era as the medium through which a deeper story is conveyed. The Silent Era was generally characterized by two things: the extreme dedication of its actors and a tendency towards slapstick comedy. While the first can be attributed to the passion of these early filmmakers, the latter is perhaps more of a function of necessity. With limited use of title slides and no use of sound, actors like Buster Keaton had to find a way to tell stories without words. And so they turned to a language that can be spoken by any person, understood in any country, and appreciated across the world: humor.…

    High Noon, a western film mostly respected by conservative viewers, and endlessly ranked over by critics. This was an exciting movie considering it was a black and white film. The whole movie was about the loyalty of a town marshal named Kane and the betrayal of the town. After watching High Noon, there were a lot of fallacies that were depicted through out the movie such as begging the question, ad hominem, slippery slope, and Inconsistency. The characters in the movie do a great job at portraying each of these fallacies.…

    John Ford built a standard that many future directors would follow with his classic 1939 film “Stagecoach”. Although there were a plethora of western films made before 1939, the film “Stagecoach” revolutionized the western genre by elevating the genre from a “B” film into a more serious genre. The film challenged not only western stereotypes but also class divisions in society. Utilizing specific aspects of mise-en-scène and cinematography, John Ford displays his views of society.…

    One thing I generally enjoyed the way they portrayed most of the characters. The characters had certain aspects to them that were exaggerated, and made it humorous but obvious what and who they were trying to portray. Though it was almost the border line of stereotyping the characters into a typical classification of a college liberal arts professor, a nun (personally my favorite), or a pair of over dramatic teenagers who are love struck half the time or too busy pouting with each other like the norm for a overdramatic teenage girl, besides, stereotypes exsist for a reason (not that they're right all the time either) . But all in all, that's what made them enjoyable, and able to laugh at. The costumes were also very helpful in portraying the characters and their personality. The costumes had a way of portraying these characters through half-stereotypical peiecs, like the required turtle neck and hipster glasses for a liberal arts professor, or the obligatory blouse and siut jacket for the lawyer and you cant forget the average white girl look either, with the boots, skinny jeans, sweater and a obligatory scarf to top it all off. And the scrubs uniform for the doctor as well as the unrevealing dress for the nun couldn't go unmentioned.…

    Following the end of the United States’ Civil War, new territories had becomes states, notably what is now known as the West. The West, iconized by its Cowboys, gunfights, and horses in the years that followed the Civil War, made its way to the silver screen as one of the first genres of movies to be produced. The genre is popularized as a “Western” and is devoted to telling the stories or myths that prevailed the American Old West in the latter half of the nineteenth century. John Ford, one of the film industry’s most celebrated directors, was one of its pioneers. His notable Western, “My Darling Clementine”, portrays Post-Civil War East-versus-West differences through its clever plot and use of characters.…

    Tombstone

    • 1208 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The movie is set in the year 1879 in the old west town of Tombstone Arizona and focuses mainly on the historical character Wyatt Earp, his family, friends, and the events leading in the town. The main character Wyatt Earp is exactly what you would expect of an old west lawman, tough but with a sense of dry humor that plays well with the rest of the characters, like his older brother Virgil and younger brother Morgan. Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan also brought their “wives” on the journey with them, Allie, Virgil’s wife, Louisa, Morgan’s wife, and Mattie, Wyatt’s wife who suffered with a significant drinking and drug problem. Along with the usual “bad guys” there are many other colorful characters that liven up the screen such as, the leader of the cowboy gang, Curly Bill Brocis and his right hand man in the gang, Johnny Ringo. The cowboy gang is made up of over 100 Texas outlaws and conartists that represent the earliest example of organized crime in North America. Although these are the villains in the movie, both Curly Bill and Johnny Ring bring a sense of drama and suspense to the screen that makes them two characters that you “love to hate”. And of course there are some of the lighter characters in the movie which include Wyatt’s best friend, Doc Holiday, the former dentist suffering from tuberculosis who now makes his living in the saloons playing poker and slinging guns, but he also brings a good dose of comic relief with his dry humor and deep southern Georgia accent while aside his traveling companion, his Hungarian mistress that goes by the name of Big Nose Kate. Finally, we get to the lovely Josephine Marcus, the exquisite actress that catches Wyatt’s eye while in Tombstone, which eventually sets a spark to ignite the romance that you wouldn’t expect from such a historical movie. In the events of this movie you have suspense, drama, and even…

    The film goes against classical Hollywood genre by its use of hybrid genre. Throughout the film we get scenes that make reference to film noir and thriller genres, but towards the end it mainly goes towards western, as Travis prepares for battle to the confrontation scene. This goes against the classical Hollywood genre as films usually only have one or two genres at the most, but this film even shows some comedic qualities at times.…

    When people think of westerns, the image of cowboys exchanging gunfire in the vast desert of the old west is the first thought that pops into most people's mind. Consequently, some people question whether or not the film, Stagecoach, is truly a western because of it having many more complex elements that are not typically featured in westerns. However, upon analyzing the plot of Stagecoach, it becomes quite evident that despite having details that separate it and make it stand out amongst the other westerns of the time, it still qualifies as a western film because it has all the content to make it a stereotypical western.…
