Small Research Project A2 Film.

My decision on the investigation will be on Star/performer.

My Star/Performer will be Cameron Diaz.

My focus question will be "The different faces of Cameron Diaz in Drama and Comedy."

The two films I could be comparing would be "My sister's keeper" and "Bad Teacher"
"Gangs of New York" and "What Happens in Vegas"

The 4 films are different in many ways, 2 of them are comedy, and the other two are Drama. I will be comparing the different ways Cameron Diaz appears in the films, the different roles and faces she's given, and how she deals with different genres.

In 1999, audiences saw two very different sides of Diaz first, she camouflaged her blond beauty to play a dowdy pet-shop worker and puppeteer's wife in the much talked-about existential comedy Being John Malkovich, directed by Spike Jonze and costarring John Cusack, Catherine Keener, and Malkovich. Later that year, she turned in a brazen performance as the glamorous, hard-nosed new owner of a professional football team in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday, costarring Al Pacino and Dennis Quaid.
