| Nelson_Mandela 05/22/19 1:49:25 PM #129: | #212. Animal House https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Animalhouseposter.jpg Dir: John Landis Genre: Comedy Year: 1978 This is the granddaddy of the modern American comedy. Just about every popular comedy movie released since can trace its roots back to Animal House. It invented the gross-out/shock humor. It basically set the standard for your basic blue collar comedy arc (group of funny rebels takes on their uptight elitist superiors). And, despite being the progenitor of a type of film we've all seen hundreds of times, it still absolutely holds up. I'm sure there are thousands of term papers written on how Animal House represents the patriarchy or is misogynistic or inspired the "rape culture" of the time. But to those of us who can actually still relax and just enjoy a very human film, Animal House just makes me happy. It's a pleasure to watch. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
