    Et Tu, Dude? Humor and Philosophy in the Movies of Joel And

    ET TU, DUDE? HUMOR AND PHILOSOPHY IN THE MOVIES OF JOEL AND ETHAN COEN A Report of a Senior Study by Geoffrey Bokuniewicz Major: Writing/Communication Maryville College Spring, 2014 Date approved ___________, by _____________________ Faculty Supervisor Date approved ___________, by _____________________ Division Chair Abstract This is a two-part senior thesis revolving around the works of the film writer/directors Joel and Ethan Coen. The first seven chapters deal with the humor and philosophy of the Coens according to formal theories of humor and deep explication of their cross-film themes. Though references are made to most of their films in the study, the five films studied most in-depth are Fargo, The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, and A Serious Man. The study looks at common structures across both the Coens’ comedies and dramas and also how certain techniques make people laugh. Above all, this is a study on the production of humor through the lens of two very funny writers. This is also a launching pad for a prospective creative screenplay, and that is the focus of Chapter 8. In that chapter, there is a full treatment of a planned script as well as a significant portion of written script up until the first major plot point. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Chapter - Introduction VII I The Pattern Recognition Theory of Humor in Burn After Reading 1 Explanation and Examples 1 Efficacy and How It Could Help Me 12 II Benign Violation Theory in The Big Lebowski and 16 No Country for Old Men Explanation and Examples

    Richard Kind

    RICHARD KIND Successful on stage, screen and television, Richard Kind has recently completed a starring role in "A Serious Man" written and directed by the Cohen Brothers and “Candide” at the New York City Opera. And recently starred in “The Lady In Question” at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York. He has also starred in the smash hit musical “The Producers,” as Max Bialystock at the St. James Theater in New York, and in the Sondheim musical Bounce, directed by Hal Prince. Bounce premiered at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago and was then moved to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Television viewers perhaps best know Richard as “Paul Lassiter,” the irrepressible press secretary to the Mayor of New York on the ABC series Spin City. He is also known as “Mark,” Fran’s ex-husband on NBC’s Mad About You. Additional TV credits include stints as a series regular on Carol and Company with Carol Burnett, two ABC series, Blue Skies and A Whole New Ball Game, as well as Unsub. Recently, he has guest starred on Scrubs, Still Standing, The Division, Miss Match, and Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David. Along with television, Richard’s experience also encompasses the areas of film and theatre. He recently filmed the feature entitled The Grand directed by Zak Penn and he also completed filming a recurring role on Stargate Atlantis. Richard has appeared as “Dr. Robert Farley” in the Miramax feature Spymate, and also in the critically acclaimed “The Station Agent.” Richard has been seen in the independent film Hacks, and as the voice of the character “Molt,” the dim-witted obnoxious grasshopper in Disney’s blockbuster animated film, A Bug’s Life.
