MACRO Representation V & CoM clips for analysis directors commentary



Q. How does the film use representation to create meaning (messages)

Critical perspective Psychoanalysis: How does this affect our 'reading' of this clipYonic & Phallic symbols (MICRO MES)

V&CoM comparison of representations (essay points)
Key scenes to examine -

Evey hair shaved/torture, Opening rape, Evey Ending, Bishops school girl

Kei reveals she is pregnant, Kei walks through guns, Kei gives birth, Kei Ending

V opening intro, Vtv message, V kills Creedy/V dies, V looses Evey
Vs
Theo opening meets Juliette, Theo buries Juliette, The long take, Theo ending


National identity
England prevails, Girl getting shot/revolution, Parliament blown up,
Vs
Fugee town/bagged on bus, Britain still stands, The uprising

  1. Argue does this challenge or reenforce traditional stereotypes (gender roles in films) – Do Does it demonstrate that in films 'Men act, women appear”?
  2. Is there voyeurism & use of the Male Gaze?
  3. What meaning/reading of messages about Masculine & Feminine in this Dystopian world? Any Yonic or phalic symbols (power)?
  4. What messages from this negative representation of the future of Britain?
  5. Comparative - how Realistic are the characters/vision of London?

    Apply to demonstrate
    Make a film parody to explore & draw attention to these aspects - re-enact the scene yourselves to reveal the meaning behind the scene
