The Cultural Significance of American Comedy

I had nothing to do, because I accidentally listened to "I will follow him", so I pulled out the film and watched it again. Because the direction of graduate students has deviated from the film studies that they have always loved, and turned to art and culture studies, I have always felt a lot of disappointment in my heart. But a year of study gave me some surprises. The surprise was that I realized that I had a deeper understanding and feelings when looking at my favorite movie works. Just like my mentor told me: any art should be re-understood in the cultural field. Of course, this seems to be something against the wheel of art ontology, and it even more treats film ontology as nothingness. It’s good, it’s a long way, but when I re-watched this classic American comedy last night, I read a lot of new things, and I haven’t written a short review for a long time, but it’s like talking about this movie. [Religious Whitening] A seeming irony of religion, but it really returns to the influence of religious belief on people. It's not that the original religion is too rigid, it's that we don't really know it. This is also the reason why the United States is culturally strong. The beliefs are pure and finally their own beliefs. The same is true in Japan. [Feminism] The nuns in the film are almost symbolically referred to: the youthful sprout of the little nun, the appetite of the fat nun, and the stereotype of Maggie Smith, who almost writes the word "British" on his forehead. It describes the confrontation between the traditional view of women and the real women from different aspects. The designs of sisters and sisters also reflect Girls Power, and the Catherine Church and MoonLight Ballroom also contrast the evolution of feminism. [Racism] Blacks are redeemed in the faith of whites. In white churches, nuns are of different ages and subspecies. The police is a very authentic non-beautiful person... The United States is using the ice of melting race, but This design is still based on their own colonial culture, and it makes people feel disappointed. 【Nostalgia】

Sister Act quotes

  • [discussing convents]

    Sister Mary Lazarus: A progressive convent? Sounds awful. I liked my convent in Vancouver. Out in the woods. It wasn't all modern like some of these new-fangled convents. We didn't have electricity. Bare feet, cold water. They were nuns.

    Sister Mary Patrick: Sounds wonderful!

    Sister Mary Lazarus: It was hell on earth, I loved it. This place is a Hilton.

  • Delores: What are you gonna do? Stick me in a bag and bury me? Forget it!
