Click on the links to see What’s On? and read the Reviews . 2 Avengers: Endgame (superhero film) Avengers: Endgame is about a team of superheroes (called 'the Avengers') who must save the universe from disaster. The film is based on characters from the Marvel comics, such as Iron Man and Thor. The film is set in different places, including New York where the Avengers try to get back the magic Stones. The action happensE in different years because the Avengers travel back in time. This film has an excellent cast. There are a lot of lead actors, including Robert Downey Jr., who stars as Iron Man, and Scarlett Johansson, whoL plays the role of Black Widow. She’s my favourite character – she’s a spy who’s also an athlete, a gymnast and a martial arts expert. Avengers: Endgame is ideal for people who like action films, especially those who enjoyed the other Avengers films. It’s quite long butP you never get bored, and there are some scenes which will really surprise you. I definitely recommend this film! 3 1 The purpose of Text 1 is toM 4 … is about … … is based on … A. explain how to write your own review. … is set in … … stars as … B. invite Tom Steiber to present his new film. … plays the role of … C. inform visitors aboutA a film festival. 2 The reviewer A. doesn’t likeS the character of Black Widow.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

  • Generic Transformation in the Superhero Film Genre by Noah Goodman
    GENERIC TRANSFORMATION IN THE SUPERHERO FILM GENRE BY NOAH GOODMAN Reaffirmation of Myth: Humorous Burlesque: • Questions the • Pokes fun at the traditional heroic overused tropes of the values of the genre genre • Lighter, comedic tone • Reaffirms traditional • Graphic violence as heroic values as comedy being true • Non-heroic protagonist • Enforces the idea of • Satirizes interconnection (i.e. interconnected the MCU) superhero films INTRODUCTION: According to film genre theorist, John G. Cawelti, there are four modes at which a film genre can undergo generic transformation. Cawelti states these modes are “humorous burlesque, evocation of nostalgia, demythologization of generic myth, and the affirmation of myth as myth” (Cawelti 295). Despite it being a relatively new film genre, the superhero genre has already had a multitude of films to already fit these four modes declared by Cawelti. However, no other films express these four modes as greatly as Tim Miller’s Deadpool (2016), Patty Jenkin’s Wonder Woman (2017), James Mangold’s Logan (2017), and Joe and Anthony Russo’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), respectively. DEFINITION OFTERMS: • Humorous Burlesque: tropes used in the genre are situated in a way to invoke laughter and are satirized • Evocation of Nostalgia: uses genre conventions to recreate aura of the past while establishing a relationship to the present • Demythologization: invokes the traditional genre conventions and demonstrates them as inadequate and destructive • Reaffirmation of Myth: questions genre conventions and ultimately reaffirmed at least partially Demythologization: Evocation of • More realistic tone Nostalgia: • Reference to myth as • Repisodic nostalgia being inadequate and based around pop false culture • Disillusioned • Traditional, heroic protagonist protagonist with • Shows the violence of unwavering beliefs super heroic actions • Thematic mending of • Darker promotional past and present material societal issues.

The experience was, in a single word, overwhelming. The epic music, accompanied by dazzling visuals and a delightful story, transported the young boy to a brand-new and brightly colored universe where just about anything seemed possible. When lights switched on and the credits appeared, our boy felt alive and bursting with energy. Indeed, as the movie ads had promised, he found himself believing that a man could fly. The movie, of course, was Richard Donner’s Superman (1978), the first superhero story to come out as a major feature film.

  • 1 Consider the Development of Imagery in the Superhero Film. Are
    Consider the development of imagery in the superhero film. Are its expressive techniques more relevant to traditions of comics or cinema? Illustrate your answer with examples. From a level of camp that was attributed to early1 television and made-for-television film adaptations of superhero comics, to the realism and gritty German expressionist lens that coloured the likes of Superman (Richard Donner, 1978) and Batman (Tim Burton, 1989) respectively (Morton, 2016), the development of imagery in the superhero film has often teetered between the expressive techniques of cinema, and those of comics. According to Bukatman (2011: 118), today “the superhero film has displaced the superhero comic in the world of mass culture.” With this in mind, it is expedient to assess which medium’s expressive techniques the twenty-first century is more relevant to. Through the analysis of three films, this essay attempts to do exactly that. Before taking on this endeavour, however, it is important to establish what the yardstick of each medium’s expressive techniques is for this essay. Cinematic expressive techniques will be taken as the mise-en-scène2, soundtrack/score, the use of the star/celebrity, and visual effects. While the expressive techniques of comics will be taken as the use of panels, the elements within panels3, gutters, page-turns, and colour. The following three films will be analysed: Watchmen (Zack Snyder, 2009), a film that is said to be “very faithful” (Crocker, 2009) to the original comic book, but still appears “something less than the sum of its parts” (Bukatman, 2011:118); Thor: Ragnarok (Taika Waititi, 2017), the third instalment of the ‘Thor’ series which is most lauded for its evident “Jack Kirby influence” (Waititi, quoted in Blair, 2017); and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Ramsey, Rothman & Persichetti, 2018), which of the three chosen films is arguably the most relevant to the expressive techniques of comics, given its closeness to the medium as an animated film.
