8 Movie Characters That Wear The Funniest Costumes
We know that Halloween has gone by a few weeks ago, however, we think it’s a good idea to throw back good old memories of this wonderful event. Scary movies, pumpkin carving, the greatest sweets, Halloween parties, and, of course, costumes are all on everyone's minds during this time. How to dress for the party is undoubtedly the most important holiday decision. Finding the ideal costume might be challenging with so many fantastic possibilities.
Believe it or not, choosing a costume in a movie is like choosing a costume for a Halloween party. And, Star Wars seems to be a movie inspired by Halloween costumes. It's can be denied that costumes in Movies,take a significant role in obtaining the theme or implying something special in those movies.
There're many characters over the years in different movies that have dressed up in silly or scary outfits, with Spielberg's famous extraterrestrial Jedi suit being just one example. It might remain a lot of other serious ones, but the best of them typically incorporate a dash of meta and a bit of humor.
Both To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee and its outstanding 1962 film version starring Robert Mulligan have been the subject of a great deal of writing. But the film has less on its mind than the novel, which is the most obvious contrast between the two (while still essentially being the same thing). The movie specifically focuses on racial relations, a subject that is heavily discussed in the book.
However, Lee's masterpiece generated a lot of discussion about gender identification as well (amazing since it was published in 1960), particularly in relation to Scout, who the movie depicts realistically as simply another person seeking to discover herself in the world. She is typically uncertain, but she is too young to know for sure what. Therefore, she dresses as a ham for Halloween instead of a nurse or mechanic.
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial by Steven Spielberg is one of the all-time great charmers. Everyone who watches it, regardless of age, is transported back to childhood, and it serves as Steven Spielberg's love letter to the adventure of life.
The film also has the capacity to skillfully swing into the extremely adult issue of distrusting one's own government with apparent ease. It's the greatest example of his family-friendly comedy. The fact that the movie wears its heart on its sleeve allows it to do that. E.T. is sincere, both as a person and as a work of art, and it has respect for children and human growth. As evidenced, for instance, by E.T. wearing a Halloween "costume." in order to feel more human.
The Karate Kid is a classic, but more significantly, the movie has a universally attractive tone. Even for people who have never taken a karate lesson, the stakes are understandable. Daniel LaRusso is portrayed by Ralph Macchio with soul, and he sells the emotional beats just as effectively as the action scenes. He successfully conveys the love of humor in the screenplay.
For instance, early on in the movie, LaRusso attends a Halloween party wearing a shower costume that is genuinely imaginative but not well appreciated. He simply dresses like a shower, and it looks great. Sadly, the young people around him are more focused on appearances than originality.
One of the best instances of a movie that can lose money at the box office, get bad reviews from critics, and still get enough slowly growing devotion to warrant a sequel is Hocus Pocus. It's a lighthearted picture with a friendly, approachable tone, but essentially it's a comedy with three actors (Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, and Bette Midler) who perform at the appropriate level for the material.
In the scene in question, which has a costume-related theme, Max Dennison (Omri Katz), Allison (Vinessa Shaw), and Dani (Thora Birch), Max's sister, are seen approaching an officer. The "officer" reprimands them for wasting his time after some awkward discussion about how Max is a virgin (quite a hazardous terrain for a PG Disney picture at the time). After they've fled, the fake cop's girlfriend emerges from a pub carrying some alcohol, and he chuckles about how the youngsters genuinely trusted him.
One of the most popular movies of the 1990s was Batman Forever, which has been further confirmed by its decades of play and magnificent 4K release. It also basically succeeds as a film, which is mostly attributable to its capacity for amusement. Consider Two-Face and the Riddler, two well-known killers who are considerably more comical than villainous. They nonetheless manage to con Alfred into thinking they're actually young kids looking for goodies.
Forever achieves a balance that Batman & Robin infamously failed to achieve (not completely, but close enough). Even if Batman Forever wasn't all that wonderful to begin with, there was "too much of a good thing," Having said that, it might be more enjoyable now for a child of the 1990s than it was then. That appeal has a poignancy to it, similar to Anaconda or Roland Emmerich's portrayal of Godzilla.
The Tina Fey-written and starring Mean Girls is the most Tina Fey production outside of 30 Rock. Cady Heron, the high school student played by Lindsay Lohan, is Fey to the letter, and nowhere is this more obvious than when Heron arrives at a party as an undead bride.
Young people's Halloween-themed parties "typically" (always) have a strong desire to appear nice. Heron is completely out of her environment, doesn't comprehend this unwritten rule, and instead uses her imagination, just like Fey did when she was younger. However, because she belongs to the popular group, the effects of this heinous act are amplified. It's a humorous moment that develops the main character and demonstrates Lohan's mastery of the "fish-out-of-water" role. The combination of this and Regina George's memorable malevolence, played by Rachel McAdams, draws out the viewer's empathy as they recognize the humor in the awkwardness.
Anna Paquin really picked the right movie this time. The film Trick 'r Treat is made up of 75% of horror and 25% of comedy. However, it's the kind of comedy where the writer scans the audience with narrowed eyes to see what elicits both laughter and revulsion in equal measure.
Laurie played by Paquin is quiet and reserved. She simply strikes me as the stereotypically sweet, take-home-to-mom sort of gal. And Paquin portrays this so effectively that it truly comes as a shock when she turns out to be a teeth-gnashing werewolf.
David Wain is the maestro of sophisticated parody that initially appears to be completely childish. But there's a distinction between his work and even that of Abrahams/the Zucker brothers, much less the awful movies directed by people like Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, who made Date Movie and Epic Movie, respectively.
Wain effectively rehired all of his former collaborators from the it-legitimately-only-gets-better Wet Hot American Summer as They Came Together. In the shower, Paul Rudd is back and making faces. Making expressions in a Ben Franklin costume, Amy Poehler is seen from behind. Roland, the former's editor boss, returned as "Chef" Christopher Meloni. Roland is a highly serious person who commands respect from his staff—at least until he pees in his Halloween costume. In terms of appreciation, things spiral out of control after that.
