What is Parody film
Copy and remolding has become a common technique for director to write screenplay and this kind of movies are always presented as comedy. The more formal word about this technique is parody."A parody film is a comedy that satirizes other film genres or films. Although the genre is often overlooked, parody films are commonly profitable at the box office." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody_film)
I can not really agree with the people who make parody movie by copy other movie's characters and genres. For example, a movie showed last year called "Vampires Suck", the idea and genre of this movie are come from vampire series "Twilight-New Moon". In "Vampires Suck", three vampire clowns replaced the three main attractive guys and girls in "Twilight". I don't like this kind of movie because they use low-taste to remold the characters which they are based on. However, if we can parody other people's work in a skillful way, the effect will be totally different.
IN 3D animation"Rango"(2011 American computer-animated Western comedy-drama film), there is a sequence that quite similar to a sequence in film "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End". In Pairates film, Captain Jack is trapped in a white desert. There is nothing in the desert but a ship, the ship can not take jack outside of the desert without water. Suddenly, there are millions of stone crabs come out from inside of desert and transfer Jack and his ship to the people who are looking for him.
The similar thing happened in "Rango", lizard Rango lost his town and goes to a white desert. There is nothing in the desert but a golf car.Rango swayed and fell on white ground cause he thought there is no hope anymore. After that, millions of beetles come out from inside of desert and transfer him to the place where he can get another chance to save his town. It is good to see that the director copy the scene of pirates film and remold it in a new narrative. Especially for the viewers who know the scene in pirates film, this parody sequence will give them another way to understand the genre that consisted of white desert, lost man and hope. And I think it is important for artists to express some concept in different ways.
