Bringing Up Baby

Bringing up Baby brought a new aspect to film to me, annoyance. Within the first five minutes of listening to Susan talk about literally nothing and manipulate the situation at any given time almost sent me to the insane asylum. It's impossible to not notice Susan, shes brings so much emphasis into what she does. Susan is a type of character that craves attention and will do so by creating a scene. In The movie, you find that she clings on to David almost instantly and makes all her problems, his. David isnt the one to speak up, so she works on this trait that davids lacks. Multiple times we see Susan doing a wrong, and manipulating the situation and causing David to feel the guilt. Susan is a problem that David cant get rid of, she clung on since the start and stayed to the end. Susan is a nuscense throughout and literally just her voice made me want to punch a baby (kidding). I find that the reason this film went as big as it did, was because of the annoyance factor susan brought. It's too a point where its so annoying, it keeps your attention throughout. I find that the theme of annoyance kept the audiences attention and didnt let anyone daze off.

Clayton,
From your post I can tell you despise Susan. But did you ever think about what the movie would be like if it was some quiet normal girl? Probably really boring. Her and David's personality really clash and thats what makes it funny! So THINK ABOUT IT! :) -laura

I agree clayton! I felt like I was going to go insane as well, and that was just in the first five minutes, too. I also hated how she made her problems his. She just walked in out of no where and wouldn't leave him alone until he fell in love with her...talk about whipped!

Clayton, i agree that susan is amazingly annoying and the main reason for this is
1. she never shuts up
2. she makes all of her problems david;s

Clayton, we share the same beliefs about Susan. We see her true colors; worthless and annoying. Her voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard after the first five minutes. However the movie would be strange had she not been so annoying... All in all shes still annoying.

You need to step it up a notch in your blogs, they aren't doing much for me!
