So about the conversation we had in class , I really want to find the deeper meaning in questions. I am big into symbolisma and I wanted to find the symbolism in world war Z .I just am having such trouble developing a good question from the symbolism. I Love the talk we had about the 10th man. I think thats like safty check against group think. What do you guys think are soome iconic imagery in your movies? I think that Gerry is iconic in the movie world war z. He is the traditional father figure , saving the world. I think thats some food for thought. What do you guys think?
I think, in my movie, R is the most iconic figure because I think he represents the person in the world who wants to be different and make a change, but he is so caught up in the world around him, that it takes the influence of someone else to make him actually make that change. As for World War Z, I have never seen it. It is one of those movies I wanted to see, but never really got a chance to watch. It's one I should put on my list to watch especially since we will all probably be snowed in on Saturday! I think that's a really good idea though, and from what I've heard of the movie is a good statement. It could help you create a question for your paper.
ReplyDeleteI'm also having a difficult time with coming up with a question. I'm going to do mine (at least for right now) on the gender roles and sexism within the movie. I didn't think it would be do difficult, but it is. All I can offer is some good luck & future brainstorming thoughts on the movie at this point, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, I did my last paper on World War Z & I agree that Gerry is quite the "hero" you could say. And who better to play him than Brad Pitt right? However, my question for my paper is Did Boyle have a deeper purpose for the rage virus? I'm going to back it up by researching and finding things and events that were going on around the time of the movie creation. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBy "deeper purpose" I mean what was he trying to get across? To give the viewers insight into what our world could potentially become if rage continues to escalate?
ReplyDeleteYeah I am really going to have to sit and think in this one. I could go in so many directions I feel overwhelmed. I do want to use Israels role in the movie becuse it was small but it had a big impact.
