Cult Films
The Killer, Rocky Horror, and Casablanca A Cult Film is a film which gravitates away from the norm, and deals with a taboo subject, something in which intrigues it's audience members. The subject matter is bizarre and ahead of the times yet it is a subject matter, which is not completely inconceivable. Cult films are generally against the grain not mainstream high budget pictures. They also are different and tend to cater to educated young adults. The minds of the younger audience members are fresh and working constantly cult films have substance topics can be discussed. Mainstream films are carbon copies all dealing with similar themes: disaster, romance, good guy, bad guy, and always a happy ending. Cult movie goers look for ideas and artistic ways in which topics are being expressed The subjects are sometimes bizarre, far fetched, or even bad at times, but something in the movie grabs the audience members attention. Even horrible movies can invoke such strong emotions in us, that they can be discussed, and! almost craved again and again. Entertainment is also something to consider when dealing with cult films. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, is by no means a realistic thriller. It is a bad movie, however it can be
I believe "Rocky Horror," is still considered cult because younger generations coming into young adulthood can experience the movie the same way the !original audience did, in the movie theatre having fun with it. " That is a similarity between "Rocky Horror," and "Casablanca," the music, it is quite different because the e!ra's were so different, but similar. The themes were probable an underground topic in the era of the seventies, which is why it was probably so popular at the time. The cult movies don't end the way people expect them too. The movie didn't end the way we wanted it too. Casablanca was the first cult film. I remember friends of mine in high school going to see this at a late night theatre but I was never present. The main character would go to different locations and a heard of bad guys would be charging after him, and one by one he killed them and then continued to the next setting. I was not familiar with this film, or this director prior to this class. "The Killer," and "Casablanca's," love story is similar in the aspect that neither couple ended up with each other. I believe this movie is cult because during the 1940's people were used to mainstream films dealing with themes I discussed in the first paragraph of my paper, good guys, bad guys, romance and happy endings. The plot was limited, but did progress throughout the movie.
