Ah, college. A
time for one to further one’s education, live independently, and grow to be a
mature, respectful human being. Just like this guy:
Well, “my advice to
you is to start drinking heavily.”
Never have wiser words been spoken
than these of John Bultarsky’s.
Who really wants to grow up?
Let’s be honest, college today is all about having four years (or
sometimes more) to further your education about partying.
Directed by John Landis, the
classic 1978 college party film known as National
Lampoon’s Animal House gives an insight to what the party life at college
is all about: beer, girls, pranks, girls, beer, and oh did I mention girls and
beer? John Belushi captures the
typical “frat guy”, and overall college spirit, in one of his most famous roles
as John Bultarsky, a seventh year student at Faber College.
Two fraternities, the prestigious
Omega Theta Pi’s and the, well, not so classy Delta Tau Chi’s, are once again
rushing freshmen to join their brotherhood. The two houses have been rivals for years, both disliking
each other for being either stuck up or having no manners. But like most fraternity rivalries, it
is harmless. Except for the fact
that the Deltas are hated by Dean Wormer.
Using the Omega Theta Pi brothers,
Dean Wormer plots to rid Faber College of the Delta House and all its brothers
forever. Even though they are on
“secret secondary probation” the Delta brothers continue with their
shenanigans, conquest for girls, and above all, partying. Providing the audience with continuous
laughter throughout the movie, the Delta brothers are sure to have you dying to experience the college life
whether you’re a high school student, a college alum, or even a college
student.
Now
this isn’t a movie that is going to appeal to your morals, but rather it is
just like a college party: fun. This
also means that, just like a college party, it is meant for those of a more mature age. Animal House
represents everything someone wants the college party life to be: full of pranks,
girls, and alcohol. If you want to
have a good laugh and just feel better about life, give in to the Delta way. And if everything is going downhill in
your life remember what the Delta brothers did.
When in doubt, toga it out.
Great review, Gabby! I really like the casual tone you used in this post, as well as the added visuals. Animal House is definitely one of the college movies that really only addresses the party aspect, but the way it does it is so complete and hilarious. It seems funny to me how iconic the picture of John Belushi wearing the "College" sweatshirt is to this day. Definitely a college movie classic.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic review. I love the sarcastic casualty to it, coupled with hilarious pictures. The ending line is also great.
ReplyDeleteI love the voice in this review! It made me smile while reading it! I agree that Animal House represents a part of the college experience, parties. I also think it is a good movie if you are looking for a laugh! Although it does not show other aspects of the college life, it is a great comedy.

ReplyDeleteOverall, this was a very good review. I agree with what Eric said, it was very easy to read and enjoyable because of the tone you used. But, at the same time it was very informative. Animal House is a very comical movie and I can relate to it on some levels as I am joining a fraternity.
ReplyDeleteAwesome review. You did a great job as it was very easy and enjoyable to read. Also I loved how you ended it...very animal house like
ReplyDeleteI like this type of review where it gets the point across and tells how you feel about the movie, but also includes humor which will keep the audience. I really enjoyed your review along with this movie. Great job.
