Dialogue and the "macro wall"

How do we look at macro areas and what conclusion do we draw from the films we are looking at?

Homework: 

1) what is the link between Wreck-it Ralph and "the macro wall"?

2) what do I mean by distort, exaggerate, breaks and plays?

3) can you find another example of a film that you can apply the words to?

Wreck-it Ralph - Post modern films

*****************************

Setting

Macro

Bring in a sock for next Friday

Why do we need dialogue?

- story line needs to progress

- characterisation - need to know what type of people they are

- need to establish psychological motivation - key for representation study

What technique, in terms of dialogue is used in the clip: Lewis Prothero Speech?

- monologue (speech from one person - speech, election, TV)

Q) What do we learn

1. We learn that America started a war and now they are asking for help - they are now a leper colony

2. They don't like commoners 

Breaking the macro wall

1. Exaggerate, break, play, distort

2. Narrative

3. It gives the back story of the main protagonist, who is supposed to be a bad guy, but really wants to be a good guy. 

1. Representation of women

2. The rule is being broken

3. She is suppose to be a woman, all dainty and stuff, but she's masculine, like when she calls the other people "ladies".

Collapsed

CoM and V are post-modern films because the rules are being collapsed. > 9/11 analogy

The style is used to get attention.
