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】

    Four stars for the plot, plus points for the music. "I will follow him"

    Omg, I watched it when I was much younger than I am now. It's really funny. Whoopi Goldberg is continuing this comedy with the climax of a hilarious supporting role in The Ghost Story. And then there's It seems that she also played the "Queen of Billiards" that I watched when I was a child?

Sister Act quotes

  • Reverend Mother: Girl groups? Boogie-woogie on the piano? What were you thinking?

    Delores: I was thinkin' more like Vegas, y'know, get some butts in the seats.

    Reverend Mother: And what next? Popcorn? Curtain calls? This is not a theater or a casino.

    Delores: Yeah, but that's the problem. See, people like going to theaters, and they like going to casinos, but they don't like coming to church. Why? Because it's a drag. But we could change all that, see? We could pack this joint.

    Reverend Mother: Through blasphemy? You have corrupted the entire choir!

    [in the hall, Monsignor O'Hara enters]

    Monsignor O'Hara: Excuse me.

    [he listens to the argument between Delores and Reverend Mother]

    Delores: How can you say that? I worked my butt off with these women! They've given up their free time to do this, and they're GOOD! I mean, sister, we could, we could ROCK this place!

    Reverend Mother: OUT of the question! As of tomorrow, Mary Lazarus resumes her leadership of the choir.

    [Monsignor knocks on the door]

    Reverend Mother: COME IN!

  • Sister Mary Robert: Reverend Mother, I know you and Mary Clarence didn't always agree but we have to help her. Please.

    Sister Mary Patrick: We've gotta save her.

    Sister Mary Lazarus: We can't leave it up to the feds.
