2. Compariosn essay between Kingsman and Spy
Action
and
Comedy
movies
are
basically
a
two
genre
of
films
that
is
combined
to
make
a
movie
looks
interesting
and
not
making
the
movie
bored
till
the
end
of
the
show.
Everyone
loves
a
comedy
show,
where
it
is
designed
to
entertain
the
audience
and
exaggerating
of
real
life
to
humorous
effect
and
whereas
action
are
one
or
more
heroes
are
thrust
into
a
series
of
challenges
that
typically
include
physical
feats,
extended
fight
scenes,
violence
and
frantic
chases.
So,
I
have
decided
to
chose
on
a
movie
of
Kingsman
and
Spy
as
my
topic
for
Compare
and
contrast
essay.
In
a
movie
of
Kingsman
is
about
a
guy
named
Gary
“Eggsy”
Unwin
whose
late
father
worked
in
a
secret
organization
who
lives
in
South
London
housing
estate
and
seems
headed
to
a
life
behind
the
bars.
However,his
life
didn’t
end
up
that
way,
he
was
then
recruited
into
a
spy
organization
by
Agent
Harry
Hart.
As
for
the
movie
Spy,
is
about
a
girl
named
Susan
Cooper
who
despite
having
a
solid
field
training
but
spends
the
rest
of
a
career
as
a
desk
jockey
and
working
hand-­‐in-­‐hand
for
agent
Bradley.
Her
life
changed
afterall
as
he
wants
to
take
revenge
on
the
person
who
killed
her
colleagues.
Both
of
this
films
shares
the
same
similarities
based
on
either
the
beginning
of
the
film,
character,
character
development
and
started
with
a
death
in
organization.
Firstly,
the
beginning
of
the
story,
as
for
Kingsman,
where
Eggsy
father,
Michelle
Unwin
died
at
a
very
young
age
trying
to
save
Agent
Harry.
Agent
Harry
owes
him
lots
for
saving
him
and
what
his
father
left
for
him
was
just
medal
of
bravery
with
a
number
stated
at
the
back
of
the
medal
if
they
ever
need
anything..
Seventeen
years
later,
Eggsy
was
now
an
unemployed
young
adult
living
with
his
mother,
infant
half-­‐sister
and
an
abusive
stepfather.
Despite
being
very
intelligent
and
capable,
he
left
training
for
the
Royal
Marines
and
lived
an
aimless
life.
Agent
harry
then
discovered
that
he’s
the
most
trusted
person
ever
will
be,
he
was
then

3. been
recruited
for
UK
secret
agent
services,
Kingsman.
As
for
the
movie
Spy,
Susan
Cooper
is
an
unassuming,
deskbound
CIA
analyst,
and
the
unsung
hero
behind
the
Agency's
most
dangerous
missions,
He
was
just
an
important
person
behind
the
earpiece
and
telling
what
are
the
things
to
be
aware
of
to
his
colleagues,
Agent
Bradley.
She
also
has
friend
named
Nancy.
They
have
a
huge
jealous
on
Agent
Karen
where
everyone
is
attracted
to
because
of
her
work
in
the
field
and
how
pretty
she
looks
but
her
life
changed
when
she
was
given
her
first
assignment
on
the
field
to
capture
the
person
who
assinated
Agent
Bradley
and
a
Bulgarian
arms
dealer.
Secondly,
the
character,
Eggsy
has
a
soft
spot
in
his
heart
eventhough
he
looks
rebel
and
cost
a
lot
of
problems
elsewhere
its
where
he
loves
his
mother
more
than
anything
else
and
would
do
anything
to
protect
his
mother.
When
coming
to
keeping
secrets,
hes
the
most
trustworthy
person
ever
met,
where
he
holds
up
a
big
secret
of
Agent
Harry
before
Agent
Harry
were
thinking
of
whipping
his
memories
off.
He
have
a
huge
british
accent
in
himself
and
he
is
a
tall
good
looking
guy,
where
every
spies
would
actually
love
recruiting.
Eggsy
is
a
type
person
where
he
cares
a
lot
of
the
others
and
mainly
in
saving
everyone’s
lives
from
getting
killed.
Eggsy
is
also
an
expert
in
fighting
even
before
he
enters
the
Secret
Agent
Unit
that
is
Kingsman.
As
for
Susan
Cooper,
is
similar
to
kingsman.
Shes
been
raised
intelligently
and
have
been
working
for
CIA
for
number
of
years.
She
has
a
solid
field
training
before
she
enters
the
CIA
because
of
her
figures,
she
is
stucked
behind
the
desk
assisting
her
colleagues
in
the
field.
She
is
a
very
protective
person
and
fierce
person
inside
and
out
eventhough
shes
in
an
undercover
of
protecting
the
person
who
killed
her
colleagues,
she
actually
manage
to
get
her
under
her
noses
and
knows
how
to
take
everything
under
control.
Susan
cooper
is
inlove
with
her
colleagues
Agent
Bradley
in
this
movie.
No
one
would
actually
notice
shes
a
spy
or
working
for
the

4. government
because
of
her
size
and
characteristic.
They
both
have
the
same
similarities
of
character
in
each
other.
Thirdly,
character
development,
Eggsy
were
put
through
several
tasks
and
tests
by
Kingsman
agent,
such
as
skydiving
and
landing
on
a
target
without
being
noticed,
loyalty
tests
under
pressure
and
shooting
a
target
several
kilometers
away.
This
will
encouraged
eggsy
to
be
used
of
doing
all
of
this
stuff
before
assignment
is
being
assigned.
He
was
then
given
a
dog
to
take
care
of,
this
teach
him
to
be
more
discipline
in
his
life,
He
developed
as
a
very
brave
person
and
stands
up
on
anything
that
stoods
in
his
way.
He
also
develop
as
a
well
dressed
man
in
a
suit
and
knows
knows
how
to
make
himself
stylish,
he
joined
kingsman
to
get
a
revenge
on
what
they
did
to
agent
Bradley.
Same
goes
to
the
movie
Spy,
where
susan
cooper
were
developed
to
learn
on
her
first
mission,
she
were
scared
of
dealing
with
assassin,
but
because
of
protecting
herself,
her
nervousness
did
mostly
of
the
fight,
she
then
became
more
comfortable
of
fighting
in
certain
occasion
of
protecting
others
and
as
well
the
world.
She
learns
how
to
dress
up
perfectly
where
in
this
movie,she
wears
a
long
dress
for
herself
and
looks
more
professional
as
an
agent
in
disguise.
Susan
cooper,
did
all
her
job
perfectly
fine
eventhough
she
knows
that
shes
dealing
with
all
of
sorts
of
professional
assassin
and
to
take
revenge
on
her
colleagues
death.
Lastly,
both
movies
started
with
a
death
in
the
organization.
In
Kingsman,
we
see
Eggsy’s
father
jump
on
a
grenade
to
save
Galahad,
Merlin
and
Lancelot.
Eggsy
were
planning
to
take
revenge
on
the
death
of
Lancelot
and
were
given
his
first
assignment
to
kill
the
man
that
has
brought
chaos
to
the
worl.
As
for
the
movie
Spy,
we
could
see
that
it
all
started
of
with
crime
of
Agent
Bradley
and
the
rest
of
qualified
agent
were
assinated
and
Susan
Cooper
were
given
her
first
assignment
to
take
revenge
on
his
friend
death
Agent
Bradley
and
for
the
rest
of
the
organization.We
could
see
that
both
organization
are
composed
of
nearly
all-­‐
Male
charracters.

5.
In
a
conclusion
we
could
say
that,
mostly
spy
movies
shares
the
same
story
in
terms
of
the
beginning
of
the
story,
character,
character
development
and
started
with
a
death
in
organization.
Kingsman
and
Spy
shares
the
same
storyline
despite
on
their
gender
and
changed
mainly
just
on
the
characters
of
the
two
movies.
I
have
learned
that,
movies
are
always
inter-­‐related
to
one
another
mostly
and
younger
generation
could
learned
that
not
everything
and
everyone
end
up
as
failure
in
certain
places,
characteristic
of
person
shows
how
you
brought
up
the
character
of
person
(1183
