Fantasy Theme

For the next paper, i will use Fantasy Theme criticism to analyze the movie, "Harold and Kumar go to White Cancel". The main characters in this movie are Harold and Kumar. They both are college students, but Harold reflects the fun loving non chalant attitiude that many college students have, while Kumar reflects the college student who strives to do well and impress his family. They both are presented in to be easily identified within an audience of people from around the ages of 17-25. The boys want to go to White Castle, a place they have heard of that has the best food around but the obstacle, is that they are far away and run into alot of things that hinder them from reaching White Castle and returning for Kumar's exam. The plot of the stories has alot of things that people will see in college, like keg parties and marjuana. This story is very similar to the American Pie movies because they both deal with college experiences and the sometimes fun and sometimes awkward things that happen. The symbolic convergence in this movie, are "weed aka marajuana smoking" and "Neal Patrick Harris", "exctasy" "hitch-hiking"

Sorority Row

My artifact to analyze is the movie Sorority Row. This movies is about a group of girls in a high class college sorority called Theta Pi. The ladies in this sorority choose to play a cruel joke on a boyfriend who cheated. The prank goes wrong when the girl who is pretending to be dead is killed by the boyfriend. The boyfriend was trying to make sure she was dead and get rid of the evidence (her body) so he stabs her and actually kills her.

The themes in this show a sense of security because many of the college greek life has secrets and in this movie, the accidental killing of the girl, named Megan, was one. These girls stuck together through it all. They bond together to have a same story and create alibis so the police cant arrest anyone. Another Fantasy theme in this movie is "the perfect family". This is because, many of the girls wanted to call the police after killing the girl. But one of the girl's father was a senator and the president of the sorority made a hypothetical story. She told her "how would the press view your father and his senator campaign if it leaked that his daughter was a murderer."
