super high me

Super high me is a documentry on a comedian that smokes weed for 30 days striaght. From the time he wakes up to bedtime. He takes many medical and mental evaluations such as the SAT and a memory test. On both he does better when he is high. He evaluates and monitors his health and well being. After 30 years of smoking there was no pyhsical harm done but his mathematical skills had deteriorated when his was high. The cinamatography was similar to the graduate because it was often shaky at times but would show little flash images. The love was story was similar because the comedian in super high me was in love with mary jane but didn't know if they could be together because the effects on him. In the end they wound up together just like Ben and elaine.

The Graduate

I thought The Graduate was intresting but disturbing at the same time. I didnt consider it a comedy though. There was a few comidic moments or at least what the director wanted to be funny but it just didnt do it for me. It was disturbing because, Elaine wanted to be with benjamin even though he slept with her mom.

The movie reminded me about Little Children staring Kate Winslet and Knocked Up staring Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogan . One of the movies is more of a drama and the other one is a comedy. Im not comparing Knocked up to it in a comidic way but because both of those movies were disturbing to me that's why im comparing them to The Graduate. Also some of the editing in Knocked Up was similar in a way.

Scary Movie

cinematographer: In this movie it has a scene where Bobby and Sindy are talking about why it took her so long to have sex with him. Than she starts getting teqnicle and Bobby starts clowning around pointing at the film directors behind the scene.

YEAR ONE

The movie "Graduate" reminds me of a movie called: Year One. I say this because in the movie, (year one) One of the main charaters is absoluely clueless. In the Graduate Ben acts clueless as to what Mrs.Robinson is trying to do to him. Also in year one the charater do whatever his friends tell him to do and in the Graduate Ben does whatever Mrs.robinson say even if he doesn't nessarily agree with it.

Comdy

The gradute reminded me of the movie janky promoters because when he came home he really didnt have nothin to come back to. In Janky promoters he was post to give his clients what they asked for but he purpeslly gave them nothing just so they would remeber wee there from an to teach them money isnt everything. so they will start givin back to the people.

Finding Nemo (2003)

Directed & written by: Andrew Stanton

Finding Nemo is about two fish, father and son (Marlin & Nemo). Nemo goes swimming out into the open, away from the reef where it's safe and gets taken by divers. The rest of the movie is about Marlin, his dad, looking for him. The whole time he is looking for him, there is always something that gets in his way. For example, an annoying fish follows him the whole way, they run into fish friendly sharks who end up trying to eat them and they get stung by jellyfish.

The graduate also has contains some obstacle that Ben has to overcome to get to Elaine in time. He sleeps with a married woman, he dates her daughter, Elaine, after the mom made him swear not to, he ends up falling in love with Elaine but she is about to get married to another guy. Ben decides that he has to stop her from marrying this other guy but on his way to the wedding he runs into a few obstacles, he has to stop for directions, his car runs out of gas so he has to run the last few blocks.

Pretty much, they both are about a guy (Ben & Marlin) going on a journey to get something they want (Elaine & Nemo). But on their way to getting what they want, they run into lots of things keeping from getting it.

One comparison I found between The Graduate and Finding Nemo is the editing of the scenes. They are all in order and most scenes contain major parts leading up the ending.

FRIDAY

director: F. Gary Gray

starring: Ice cube, Chris Tucker, Bernie Mac.

year:1995

Friday is a comedy different than the graduate. The inciting incident with the film is craig got fired on his day off, this leads to craig dealing with the other main characters problems. Smoky the other main character in the film is smoking up all of big worms product so no money is giving back to him so he sends ppl after them. In friday the audiences hears and sees negative things throughout the movie but it will keep you laughing.

Janky Promoters

starring Ice Cube, Mike Epps, Young jeezy

Director: Marcus Raboy

Year: 2009

it is bout these guys who get young jeezy to come to modesto, CA. They end using Russell Redds' (Ice Cube) wedding money to get the club for him to preform. JellyRoll (Mike Epps) gets caught on a reality show cheating with a cops wife. The Inciting Incident was that they didnt have the money and they had to find away to get the money

Tommy Boy (1995)

The movie "The Graduate" reminds me of the movie "Tommy Boy". In the Graduate, Ben comes home too his parents after graduating from college, but he's worried because he doesn't know what to do with his life now. It's almost the same situation for Tommy, he comes home from barely graduating college (he did it but barely), but unlike Ben, he already has a life planned for him, taking over his fathers business. In the movie Tommy Boy, the turning point is when at his father passes away at his own wedding and they need to find out something to do to save the company. The mise-en-scene that compares to eachother is when Ben just floats around in his pool to relax him, you only see him and the pool with a little bit of the backyard. In Tommy Boy he's floating around on a boat in the middle of a lake with only him, the boat, the water, and a little bit of trees in the backround.

friday

Friday is a comedy like the graduate because they both involve a guy around his twenties looking to do something with his life. Also the two movies both involve romance. Both characters want to have sex with a fine ass married woman. "Smokey", in Friday has the famous line of "When you gonna let me fuck Ms. Parkerrrrrr?!?!?!" Ben in the graduate wants to have sex with a married woman also. The cinema is similar by showing attractive parts of the woman and having the guys in the backround.

The Hangover

The Hangover is a comedy that also goes by what Ben's doing, just enjoying life at the moment. Four friends go on a bacholor party in Vegas before their buddy got married. in The Graduate Ben decides to just taking life as it comes and living in the moment and njoying life as Mr. Robinson tells him he should. in the two movies the cinema-tographers use the same style of lighting on its characters and the same use of close ups and distance shots.
