Manhattan vs. Brazil vs. Rebel without a cause

Well, our last task was to relate Manhattan with the movies of the other Blogs, so when we begun studying the other Blogs we got really confused because if we talk about genre, well, we can see for example: Wild bunch, the battle of Britain, Rebel without a cause and Citizen Kane are from the drama genre, also that Citizen Kane, The Maltese falcon, Gold Rush, High noon, The battle of Britain and Whitehouse are in black and white, but apart from that, we couldn’t find any other significative similarity, until we read the Blogs about the movies Brazil and Rebel Without a cause. In these ones we could find a social parody also like our movie. The characters are very bizarre and a clear critic to a social stereotype, for example James Dean in Rebel without a cause is a crazy boy, who loves to get himself in any kind of trouble, searching for an identity, an original one, in Brazil almost all characters are very singular, which is the main characteristic from Manhattan, where Allen really represent the semi-intelectual specie in a very sarcastic way, and the most mature and centered character in the movie, is the youngest and most innocent one.

In conclusion, we learned to love this project, because it really helped us to study a movie, in a more deep way, relating it with other characteristics and ideologies, but regarding all of this, we think that Woody Allen can’t be compared to any director, because his creativity and strange way to represent society and stereotypes in his films, are unique. The only director that, i think, is the master of Woody, is Charles Chaplin, because he's the father of social sarcasm. After all of this all we can do now is hope for you to like our Blog, so for the ones that are reading this, we say: Thank you.
