Given that both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore The Last Five Years: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Musical done minor miracles with such insubstantial material in the past, writer-director Marc Lawrence Two Weeks Notice must have thought that their dry Brit wit and ditzy-blond act, respectively, could compensate for zero onscreen chemistry.

Background of the Study Every single man has a goal to reach and becomes successful in all aspects of life. Success in mastering the development task set by the social group will bring the person happiness, social recognition, and new tasks pushing to be successful, which is impeller to developing potency. Adult people have many experiences that come from life task, which they could or could not handle and sometimes it become complex and harder and gives contribution to create the personality of human being.

By this feeling human beings are forced to compensate in order to repair their lack and become better, complete or perfect like in social life but do not everybody can develop their excellence, sometimes there are some problems which they pass by to get what they expect. “A problem exists when there is a discrepancy between your present state and your perceived goal state and there is no readily apparent way to get from one to the other. In situations where the path to goal attainment is not clear or obvious, a problem exists, and you will have to engage in problem-solving behaviors” (Gerow, 1989: 27).

Ebenso hat die Kritik an diesen Verfahren, Musikstile wie Moden in schnellem Wechsel aufeinander folgen zu lassen und dadurch Konsumbedürfnisse von Fans immer neu anzufachen, diese als „synthetisch“ verdammt - als stehe alledem ein „natürliches“ Prinzip gegenüber, nach dem sich neue Musikstile organisch aus den historischen und individuellen Erfahrungen von Musikern entwickelten. Es sind Gruppen wie Milli Vanilli1, die in den 1980ern das im Grunde synthetisierende Stil-Nebeneinander von Musik, Tanz, Kleidung, Körperlichkeit ausgearbeitet haben. Auch die meisten Boygroups (wie die Formationen Backstreet Boys und New Kids on the Block) wurden unter gezielt kommerziellen Gesichtspunkten von Plattenfirmen oder Produzenten im Rahmen eines Casting zusammengestellt; jedes einzelne Boygroup-Mitglied musste nicht nur singen und tanzen können, sondern repräsentierte zudem sowohl optisch wie hinsichtlich Charakter und Image einen bestimmten Männertyp2. Auch das von George Michael und Andrew Ridgeley von 1982 bis 1986 gebildete Pop-Duo Wham!, ist ein solch synthetisches Gebilde, das seinerzeit hohe Popularität genoss und das in MUSIC AND LYRICS erkennbar die Vorlage für die Musikgruppe „Pop!“ bildet, der der Held der Geschichte einst angehörte.

  • “Slightly Overlooked Professionally”: Popular Music in Postmillennial Romantic Comedies Dissertation Presented in Partial F
    “Slightly Overlooked Professionally”: Popular Music in Postmillennial Romantic Comedies Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Elizabeth Kirkendoll, MM Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Adviser Arved Ashby, Co-Adviser Sean O’Sullivan Daniel Goldmark Copyright by Elizabeth Kirkendoll 2018 Abstract In recent years film scholars has turned their attention to the cinematic conventions of romantic comedies. Tamar Jeffers McDonald, Deborah Jermyn, and Stacey Abbott have advocated for the scholarly merits of the genre; these scholars posit that through romantic comedies, we can trace developments in women’s rights and feminist critiques of hegemonic masculinity. Scholars have recently focused attention on popular music in film, as well, and argued for its inclusion in serious musical study in works such as The Sounds of Commerce: Marketing Popular Film Music (Jeff Smith, 1998), Soundtrack Available: Essays on Film and Popular Music (ed. Pamela Robertson Wojcik and Arthur Knight, 2001), and Pop Fiction: The Song in Cinema (ed. Steve Lannin and Matthew Caley, 2005), among others. Nonetheless, romantic comedies are largely missing from the discourse about popular music, possibly because of the common assumption that the genre’s conventions hold no merit as a subject for academic investigation. Based on information gathered from romantic comedy audiences this dissertation makes the case that postmillennial romantic comedies deploy popular song conventions to underscore character development, create irony, and question the validity of the happy ending. Thus, rather than conveying superficial messages of romance, songs in postmillennial romantic comedies destabilize a postfeminist ideology that asserts the achievement of gender equality.
