Comic Book Movies
What to say, what to say? Well, to be honest, I am actually not that big of a fan, but my boyfirend TORTURES me with them. X-Men, Batman, Superman, I've had to see 'em all.
However, I will say there are a few good ones. I just saw GhostRider that is out at the show, and that is a remake of an old comic book.
But, back to analyzing. So, in my opinion, comic book movies are exactly like what we talked about in class. They SCREAM a certain theme. For instance take Ghostrider (which probably was the coolest comic book movie I've seen), the "ghostrider" is the rider who was sent to collect a list of 1,000 souls and bring it to the Devil. Well, the original ghostrider was on a horse and he ran away with the list. So, the new Ghostrider, Nicholas Cage, becomes the new fiery skeletal motorcycle rider, who in obvious glance is bad because he works for the devill, but becomes good because he stops the takeover of the world.....WOW...
But this relates to the screaming theme part because it is. It is the classic battle of good vs evil, and just as it looks like evil will prevail, good's got it.
That is classic comic book movie stuff right there. That's how they run it. Or take X-Men, at the end (of all of 'em), it looks like the bad guy is about to take over the world, but at the last second, the good guys have it.
I think that that is why comic books/movies are so appealing. It takes you on a sort of journey, but in the end, you know the good guy, the guy that everyone idolizes, is gonna take it all.
