3 Film openings & Similarities

Introduction

In this section of my blog i will be discussing three fuilm openings with similare opening 2 minute scens.
These films are: 
  • Step Brothers
  • White chicks
  • Role models
The reason i chose to discuss these 3 films, is because they are all under comedy genre.





















Step Brothers is the first of my three films that i am discussing. Its a 2008 american comedy starring Will Ferrell and Jon C. Reilly directed by Adam Mckay. It is distributed by columbia pictures, in which had a film budget of $65 million, grossing at a total of $128 million. The main idea of the film is all about two men who still live at home with their parents. They both become uinited with their single parents meeting together, which then get married. The opening sequance involves the two single parents meeting eachother and getting married, and moving in together. The atmosphere is very upbeat and happy with the parents all jolly, however there is a sense of rivalry between the two "step brothers" which is beginning to reveal.





White chicks is a 2004 american film directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans. The film was produced by columbia pictures and revolution studios. The plot begins in a convenience store where two FBI agents and brothers, Kevin Copeland and Marcus Copeland try to capture members of an organization that sells drugs inside ice cream boxes, posing as dominican clerks. Unfortunately, the first arrival turns out to be a genuine ice cream delivery, and the actual drug dealers manage to get away. The situation is worsened by the fact that Kevin and Marcus have decided to resolve this bust by themselves. The music is non-diegetic ganster rap music, trying to hepl show who the film is aimed at and suggests the generation of the film.






Role Models is a 2008 American comedy film directed by David Wain about two energy drink salesmen who are ordered to perform 150 hours of community service as punishment for various offenses. For their service, the two men work at a program designed to pair kids with adult role models.Danny Donahue  and Anson Wheeler work to promote an energy drink, "Minotaur", to school children, and to encourage kids to stay off drugs. Wheeler loves the job, Danny hates it, viewing it as a mindless, dead-end job. They result in getting arrested for trying to get away from their van being towed.
