concepts of marxism and ideologies in film...
- individual matters can make a difference to the world
- an individual can improve him/herself
- good will triumph
- effort will be rewarded
- financial comfort and stable marriage is the best reward
- criminal will return to crime scene
- evil will be exposed
- corruption exists in isolated cases
- don't do drugs, drink, or meddle with things you don't understand
My short film links to this theory and society as it is about bullying, a struggle many young people go through that sometimes can continue later on in life. However, certain messages like 'the good will triumph' and 'effort will be rewarded' don't link to my film at all as by the end with the new equilibrium as the audience, we don't improve as an individual or get something good from it as it is simply a strong message that I would like to get across.
