Assignment

I watched Superman, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Green Acres. Based on the 3 clips, displacement was shown through the popular culture. In Superman, the hero felt displaced by being left out of his planet and mission. Superman was forced to hide his identity and was left on a mission because the girl left to do it on her own. It was humorous because of the sound effects and the villain’s approach to succeed was unsuccessful. Superman plays a role by saving people from consequences but has a different identity. Superman isn’t in his normal self but acts like a normal human being to adjust to society. In Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the was a group of womaning hiding from danger from the outside world. Although I don’t really know what danger is happening, it’s similar to the holocausts, when the Jewish families were hiding from the Nazi’s. Displacement is shown as the ladies get help; they experience a whole new life. Things have changed since they were hiding and the girls currently experiencing new york city. It humorous because the girl doesn’t know to act with the new civilization. She does and says things out of the ordinary where people perceive her differently.  The humor is related to displacement because people such as the lady she works for, the owner treats her wrong. It may be in the realistic fiction category but the role the main character plays is for entertainment purposes. She has a personality that’s funny for the audience but that’s just the way she expresses her true self. Finally in Green Acres, displacement is shown because of a couple of different interests. The man hates living a luxurious lifestyle, whereas the wife loves the city. It’s humorous because of the way the actors talk and facial expressions. The humor is related to displacement because the wife feels displaced about living in the country but the husband is excited. Clearly, this couple isn’t meant to be but it’s still funny. Displacement is shown across everything, even in our favorite films or TV shows and it can be displayed through humor.
