Response to Jane
I love Elf!!! Perfect choice for Christmas coming up in a few days. It's easy to see how the superiority theory plays out in this movie. Buddy is ignorant in the fact that he is a grown man and still believes he is an elf. He is caught up in his childlike manner and can't let go of his past. Even though it's easy to laugh at Buddy, there are moments when I feel bad for him. He doesn't fit in at the North Pole along with the elves, and doesn't fit in coming into the real world because he's never experienced anything like it. Although, he makes up for his misfortunes through his humor (even if he realizes it or not)

Great point about the contrast between Buddy's naive innocence and being a grown man. I think this also adds a layer of incongruity when he interacts with other characters because they're not expecting the childish actions from someone who appears to be an adult.
