In 2010, a poll taken from over 1000 people named Darryl Kerrigan of The Castle as the favourite Australian movie character with 23% of the votes (Hayes, 2010). The accolades kept flowing for the 1997 film, with over a third of those interviewed thinking The Castle best represents the real Australian culture (Hayes, 2010). These results raise an interesting question. How does a film taken in 11 days with a budget of half a million dollars capture the hearts of more Australians than a Hollywood blockbuster?

Mise-en-scéne is crucial to classical Hollywood as it defined an era ‘that in its primary sense and effect, shows us something; it is a means of display. ' (Martin 2014, p.XV).

Features of the film 's sense of space and time, setting, motifs, characters, and character goals will be explored and how they affect the characterisation, structure, and three-act organisation.
Whereas, Far From Heaven reverts this representation of the black male body onto the white male body, to conceptualises homosexual desire within the framework of a 1950’s melodrama. Although, Haynes remains to conventional 1950’s melodrama by fading out the sexual encounter between the men, arguably the audience is now positioned as Cathy, as she is unaware of Frank’s infidelity.
“Cinderella Man”, directed by Ron Howard, takes a hasty plunge from a booming economy to a bombshell into the Great Depression; Jim Braddock the courageous boxer, persevered through the nations lowliest point. In the film the camera caught a glimpse of a newspaper front-page reading “Unemployment Hits Record 15 million Americas”.

Storm clouds of economic and societal conditions were in full affect on how it sculpted the film’s path had a dramatic mark on

Ridley Scott’s ‘female buddy movie’ Thelma and Louise centres around issues of male dominance and the freedom of release from society. Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) are women suppressed by the men in their lives. They take a vacation to escape for a few days and after an attempted rape and murder they end up fugitives on the run for their lives. This unintended event ends up being for them the best adventure of their lives, as they are able to divest from the rules of society and become the independent women they are. By subverting the traditional role of gender in the genre, the film shows how feminism impacted the film industry by challenging Hollywood and the gendered myths and social patriarchy, providing women with a voice, and changing how spectators view how women are looked at through women’s eyes and their experiences.
