Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg have once again crafted another film filled with action, drama, humor, and stupidity. This film will definitely have you falling out of your seat. Not only is The Interview a humorous comedy, but it also highlights a major international issue, making this movie relevant in the contemporary.
The Interview talks about the harsh realities of the dictatorship in North Korea. For example, the movie portrays North Korea as a place without food where only the wealthy will strive. It does this by posing as a parody, or making fun of the North Korean culture. For example, the film opens up with a little girl singing harsh and immoral lyrics of a song that is based towards the United States. Sook, which happens to be Aaron …show more content…

In this film the Supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, is planning to send a nuclear bomb to the United States. The future of the United States now lies in the hands of Dave Skylark and Aaron Rapoport, creators of the new hit TV show, Skylark Tonight. When they are called upon by the CIA, or as Aaron Rapoport would say “honey potted,” they are asked to take out the supreme leader. Here’s the catch, it’s under the CIA’s terms. Once they travel to North Korea, Dave begins to rethink the promise that they made to the CIA, because Kim Jong-un seems like a “cool” guy. Eventually they see Kim’s true colors and hijinks follow in their attempts to assassinate him. The mind blowing situation isn’t that Dave kills the supreme leader, but how he does …show more content…

That being said this movie isn’t only for people who only enjoy comedy, but rather a wide range of viewers. The audience definitely has to be one that can withstand a great amount of idiotic humor. From the scenes where Dave skylark gets “honey potted”, meaning was played, to the comical and idiotic conversations between Dave Skylark and Kim Jong-un. For example, Kim saying “you know what’s more destructive than a nuclear bomb?… words” (imdb.com). This movie definitely has one rolling on the floor. Although this movie may not be appealing to a parent or grandparent, it can definitely be seen as something streaming through the laptops and TV screens of teenagers and young

It allows you to make fun of both sides. It allows you to make fun of everything, really, so you can do it in a harmless way.” This quote explains how satire is supposed to be found comical but also discussing serious topics that need to be discussed and approached with an open mind about both sides of a topic. Satire has three audiences- those who agree, those who the author are ridiculing, and those who

The interview starts off with Rodman walking in with a limp wearing a pink tracksuit with a stained wife-beater underneath (mind you, the guests think they’re gonna be on a professional talk show, Andre doesn’t tell them the show is a joke). Then next as Eric plays a prank on Rodman by falling out of chair, Rodman completely ignores him and starts picking up marbles he finds on the ground of the messy set. After that, Eric grills Rodman about the North Korea stuff he did to which Rodman replies that he doesn’t want to talk about it, it’s the one thing he won’t talk about. Eric responds to that by asking “did he show you prison camps and shit?” to which Rodman immediately breaks his rule and says “No he just showed me his father and his grandfather who’s been frozen in his warehouse”. The interview is so bizarre, it feels like Eric is trying to one up Rodman with weirdness but Rodman just fries back unintentionally every time.

The movie focuses on two main characters who contrast greatly. They both are represented as stereotypes of their respective races, Caucasian and African American. Peter Sanderson is an successful wealthy attorney while Charlene Morton is wrong accused low-income ex-convict who bares an outrageous personality. Throughout the movie both characters exhibit cliched stereotypes and use racially insensitive gestures. I believe mainstream media outlets like film often intermingle racial taboos into their productions for comical effect which is wrong and

Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29). The technique of motivational interviewing was developed by two psychologists, Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick. Motivational interviewing is therapeutic to patients as it is based on a partnership, rather than a nurse-patient relationship (Heckman et al., 2010). There are four processes of motivational interviewing; engaging, focusing, evoking and planning.
