Firefly

Firefly is an American space western television series created by writer and director Joss Whedon, under his Mutant Enemy Productions label. Whedon served as executive producer, along with Tim Minear.

Storyline :

The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things". The show explores the lives of some people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and others who now make a living on the outskirts of society, as part of the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today."

  

Representution :

Firefly is set in the future but national costumw is western style. It is irony and espcial point because national costume is not fit in with background.

We can know that at this point, future will change everything cause developmant of science. But haman's life style don't change because we are human. I thank after future, we will keep the humanous lifestyle.

Ideology :

The protagonist of the Firefly is captain Malcolm. He was soldier and used to work for the Allied forces.

But he has been betrayed to the Allied forces. After war, he bought a transport for steal something or carry freight someone from a planet to another planet. It is illegal work.
Anyway, he change his opinion and Ideology. he likes to work for thw Allied forces because he has pride about his job. he has deep - rooted loyalties to his nation.
But, when he betrayed to the Allied forces he finds great illumination this incident.

Discourse :
Dr. Simon Tom has one younger sister who named River Tom. She is pretty and very smart.
The Allied forces wants to indagate her brain so they did an experiment to her.
I don't know what they did an experiment to her exactly but everybody know that an experiment on a human body is illegality and inhumanely.
We should consider this topic.
Do you know "MARUTA" ?  A Japanese word meaning "wood log" also used to refer to subjects in secret human experiment. Maruta is nickname of Unit 731. Unit 731 was the code name of Japanese Army.
Unit 731 was a covert biological anf chemical warfore research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation during the second sino - Japanese war (1937 - 1945) and World War 2.
It was responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes carried out by Japanese persinnel.
According to article when Japanese Army did an experiment on a human body, they killed more 3,000 soldiers from Chinese, Korean, Russian, Mongolian.

We need to remind that an experiment on a human body is really wrong and illegality.

Arrested Development

Creator: Mitchell Hurwitz

Storyline :

Michael Bluth, a widower with a 13-year-old son, named George-Michael, is forced to keep his large and dysfunctional family together after his father is arrested for shifty accounting practices at the family-owned conglomerate and the Bluth family assets are frozen, making each member of the eccentric family panic.

Written by Matt Patay  

GENRE : Drama

Arrested Development genre is exactly comedy.

comedy, as popular meaning is any humorous discourse generally intended to amuse, especially in television, film and stand-up comedy.

But in my opinion, Arrested Development is kind of drama and very humorous because this sitcom shows family love.

first season, George Bluth company and his son Michael serves as manager of company and, after being passed over for promotion, decides to leave both the company and his family. he worked hard with an expectation of better tomorrow. but he didn't become C.E.O of the Bluth company. he's mother Lucille become C.E.O, and immediately names as the new president her extremely sheltered youngest son Buster, who proves ill-epuipped.

Michael get upset about this situation, so he secures another job with a rival company and plans on leacing his family behind for good.

Ralizing that they need Michael, the family asks him to come back and run the company.

Which Michael scoffs at until he sees how much the family means to his teenaged son George Michael. To keep the family together he come back for family.

Accoding to this sitcom, we know that family is more important then everything. might be, almost people think that Bluth's family is stupid and selfish, except Michael.

Bluth family make very stupid situation and they give lot of fun to ours.

This is comedy sitcom but  we can to see "family love" from Bluth's family so, i think it is drama.

DISCOURSE : Family Company

This story started from Bluth's company(Family company) is going down and Georgo Sr(C.E.O of the Bluth company) is arrested by the securities and exchang commission for defranding investors and gross spending of the company's money for "personal expenses".

Bluth's family also spend lot of company's money for personal expenses.

I think director want to tell viewers that family company's misbehavior.

We can to hear that some family company's C.E.O or someone of family members were arrested for embezzlement of company funds when we watch news.

so we should consider family company's positive point and negative point.

NARRATIVE : Family Love(storge') 

Arrested Development episode shows family love.

Bluth's family are so childish for them age. sometimes they are having an argument about money, stupid conduct or self-respect but they know about that exactly they loved eath other.

Accoding to Arrested Development we know that family is very important and we need to keep the family together.
