Parody movie posters seem to keep
the trend of mocking other films, or mocking real life situations to make
people feel better about them. For example disaster movie is about the world
coming to an end, at the time there was big talk about global warming and the
threat of the world becoming hotter and flooded. The movie took the seemingly
bad situation and made it funny to take our minds off it. Parody movies also
make a mockery of themselves, “not another shallow Hollywood movie” this text
jokes about it being a lower budget film and also the “shallow” part makes fun
of the rising water levels in both real life and in the film, making it a not so terrifying subject. It looks to me that the main purpose
of parody films is to remove the audience form the troubles of the real world
so that when they go back they have a brighter look on the bad things happening
in the world.
