The film 'V for Vendetta ' composed by Alan Moore is based on a man who disguises himself with a mask and goes by the name 'V '. He is placed into a testing camp called Larkhill. At this testing camp, the doctors were testing hormone research on the humans because it was useless to do on rabbits and rats (Moore 80). These people that were placed into the camp were gays, lesbians, blacks, and anyone who was involved with the socialist group. This fictional narrative is a substantial superhero film that highlights the unbroken Conservative authority, the possibility of inhumane imprisonments for people with AIDs and a legislature that had expressed a want to annihilate homosexuality. Most importantly, this two-hour film talks about what is happening in today 's society; a nation of people who let their liberties slip away for too long, before finally coming to the realization that they have none left. 'V ' has the perfect voice and the ideal villain for today 's society because he is not just a good person fighting a bad guy. Yes, the Leader and the officials like Prothero & Bishop have all committed appalling violations and crimes but V does not target people, instead, he targets evil. He focuses on the shrewdness, the lethargy, and the …show more content…

V teaches individuals that they should not let fear defeat them and they stand up for their rights, voice their opinions whenever they feel the need to and make changes in today 's society. Everybody is a part of progress, from a youngster to a high-class government official. If people do not stand up for themselves and family and do not confront the government, it is a possibility that the country would end up having a repressive government like in V for

The film focuses on the characters lives and how they can keep going when they struggle with society. The film uses rhetorical strategies such as pathos, ethos, and logos to make this movie bring emotions, blank stares, and leave the audience to question reality. The purpose of the specific camera shots and angles is to provide an appropriate view of the movie. Lastly, the use of persuasion to allow the audience to interpret what the film says versus the thoughts in their head. The film does a good job of pointing out the flaws in our system and a specific culture that the flaws

This film also has a great aesthetic way of presenting characteristics of the movie as a whole, for example when filming Brenton Butler, they made sure that almost throughout the movie entirely he did not speak to put more emphasis on the first impression of Lestrade and Poncet’s of Butler as a completely detached individual; showing how Butler’s voice was denied by the injustice of the Florida legal

It shows the enormity of the corruption of the system, as it has no regard for human life. The only thing it cares about is giving people a show to keep them busy and entertained. By changing history, the government alter fundamental values and ideas and over time succeeds in making them the acceptable norm of the society. The most explicit example of this is the government’s ability to convince the people that books brings nothing but confusion and sadness in the life of those who read them. Thus it became a recurrent and usual for people to shun away from all the knowledge reporting anyone who possess

At the beginning of the film there is a narrative voice over which explains the political context of what is happening to the audience. The viewer never has to figure anything out for themselves therefor the film is conforming to a typical narrative structure. The storyline concerns the coming of World War II and a love triangle between Baine, Ilsa and Laszlo. The viewer’s main focus is on the love triangle rather than the political context making the overall storyline easy to understand. This also is an aspect as to why this movie conforms to a classical narrative approach.

The movie ties in more brutality and violence to appeal to a modern audience that demands intense appeal to the senses. The play uses the simplicity of setting elements such as the balcony and common acting techniques to communicate Shakespear’s original message. Given the time period of the text, Shakepear’s use of these strategies are as modern as those unique techniques used in the movie. The movie and the play attract their audiences based on what appeals to them. Most importantly, both deliver the message to the audience that “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her

Reflection on the film Eyes on the Prize – Awakenings (1954-56) We must come to see the day… not of the white men, not of the black men. That would be the day of men as men. (M.L.King) Imagine what it would be like to live in a world where since the moment you are born, your rights are infringed by the system: you are not allowed to use certain things as they are designated for the chosen only, you have to step aside when a white men passes, not allowed to look at women of different race, you do not have the right to get education… The system was established centuries ago, long before you were born, and it had been existing quite successfully.

Wolfenden found that in 1955 30% of those prosecuted were imprisoned. The irony of imprisoning homosexual men in institutions which were all-male seemed lost on the system. (‘Gay’ in the 1950s) With knowing the severity of homosexuality during the 50’s , it brings clarity as to why problems came about when creating the film version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. When deciding to make the play into a film, one main change had to be made due to restrictions of homosexual references in films.

Dystopian texts espouse a variety of didactic messages that depend significantly upon both the context and zeitgeist of the time in which they were created. Differences can be found when comparing the techniques and perspectives the authors have chosen to represent their contextual concerns to audiences. Together both Fritz Lang’s silent black and white film ‘Metropolis’ 1927 and George Orwell’s novel ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ (*referred to as 1984) 1948, confront and provoke audiences to consider the impact that (abusive power + unquestionable control= insert question statement) can have not only on the characters in these two texts, but also on the cultural and political lives of the reader and viewer. By subjugating & dehumanising the lower classes, dictators are

The setting of the movie looks very dystopian like because the streets are dark, gloomy and deserted. There also seems to be a lack of human life on the streets as all the people lock themselves up in their houses. Also through the movie, the government goes through a lot of problems that leads them towards a scandalous state. The scandalous state of the government tells us that the government is about to come to end and be defeated by the one who claims himself to be the hero known as V. The qualities of totalitarianism depicted in the movie are secret police, fear, violence, lack of trust, dictatorship and propaganda. Secret police is shown to us in movie when Evey leaves her apartment after curfew.

The film demonstrates how and why particular facts about the social world relate. I believe that this film has a functionalist perspective. This film focusses heavily on social order and keeping a society stable. The president uses fear tactics to control citizens and keep the lower class in its place while the upper class lives lavished lives. One way that this stayed maintained was that no travelling amongst districts was permitted so the citizens believed all districts were treated fairly equal (Crossman).
