Comparison Of Modern Family And Finding Nemo Jr.

1463 Words6 Pages

Comparison of Modern Family and Finding Nemo Jr. 1. The play that I attended for this comparison essay is Finding Nemo Jr.. Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez adapted the playwright, however, the play I attended was produced by the University of Utah Tanner Dance and Elevate Theater Company and was performed at The Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. The TV show I will be using for this comparison is Modern Family. References to Modern Family will occur throughout the series and does not focus on one specific episode. 2. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? Overprotective parents is a common theme in both Modern Family and Finding Nemo Jr. (Gloria and Manny, Marlin and Nemo). In Finding Nemo Jr., Marlin is the father of …show more content…

5. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? Finding Nemo Jr has more digestible language and utilizes songs as opposed to Modern Family’s more adult use of language. The audience plays a big part in the language used in these shows. Finding Nemo Jr. uses language that is not too difficult to understand, while also keeping it appropriate for children. In addition, they use music to express the emotion of the scene. I think it was effective in my ability to understand the play because it showcased the setting in different scenes in ways the props didn’t, as there were not many props used at all. Similarly, Modern Family uses language to make more subtle jokes, which often go over the viewers head. I do understand most of it, but I find myself having to search up some words. 6. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? Both shows shared the purpose of exposing the dynamics of family relationships and the importance of acceptance, love, and understanding within …show more content…

Modern Family also follows this purpose and showcases the complicated relationship between parents, siblings, and children. Modern Family accurately portrays the dynamics between groups of siblings, adult relationships, and growing up. Small misunderstandings and fights resolve themselves as the family learns to accept and love each other’s quirks. Finding Nemo Jr. has another specific and important purpose, to show that those with disabilities are not limited in life and deserve to be accepted. 7. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? I consider both Modern Family and Finding Nemo Jr. enjoyable for different reasons. There is nothing like live theater, as you can feel the energy of the characters and the audience together. Although I am just a spectator, the live aspect makes me feel like a part of the performance. It was fun to laugh along with the crowd and provide a standing ovation to those around me at the end of the show. I don’t often watch live plays, which is why I think I enjoyed this one so

Furthermore, the moody sound cues and the hard lighting of the background was a perfect combination to most of its electrifying scenes, such as the cross-examination scene of the main antagonist, in order to reflect a mostly conflict ridden and angry scenes. For me, this is because the entire play is staged as when it is written, where its historical significance is key to the plot. Thus, as a spectator, I was swayed by the timely vibe of Australia in the eighties, complemented by the timeworn

The house was almost entirely filled and the show was about to begin. As the show began, I had noticed that they incorporated young children in the play; at the beginning, they were sitting around in a circle and throughout the play, they had them sit in a single line on each side of the stage to signify that story telling appearance. However, they also got up to sing along on stage with the rest of the cast, which was an interesting feature of the show. I enjoyed seeing the characters walk up the stairs along the sides of the auditorium; even though the actors are not necessarily breaking the fourth wall, it made me feel as though I was involved and being recognized. I appreciated the fact that the entire cast were all under the age of twenty, which can really make a difference in the eyes of younger viewers; as a young audience member, seeing actors my age made me feel relatable to them compared to an older cast.

How Have Family Sitcoms Changed?

The past decade has not seen any notable family sitcoms that has surpassed such leaps of social justice as some had in the 1950’s or 1970’s. While that may be disappointing to some, this is also a great feat for all television audiences. So many issues that were once considered, “taboos,” now, can be the premise of the sitcom altogether. Even the little things like interracial couples, married partners in the same bed, and even mentioning a pregnant woman is considered normal. Yes, the family sitcom is still no direct comparison to the modern family arrangement, but it is as close as were going to get for
