Michael Hardman Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Does anyone else read into a film, especially the war realted ones. Just curiuos as one of my uni courses is on geopolitics and how films can represent the politics of the world. The james bond films are a good example of Cold war relations there sothers. Films were made with like subliminaly messges, ideas, beliefs attatched. Must have something to do with media being a powerful tool for spreading messages or something along those lines.

N.Wood Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) I do AS media studies so i find myself looking at shot timings, lengths and camara angles etc. but i can't say i read into the politics side of things, no. EDIT: Politics, not polotics, dammit. Edited February 20, 2005 by N.Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Unfortunately yeah I do somewhat... Media studies, while being interesting, does mean that when you watch any film you over analyse it, in a technical way. Except maybe Team America... Maybe more than analysing the polotics, I tend to drive myself mad with "What if this had happened instead" ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I used to do it as i took film studies for A level. Almost all films do have meanings and hidden messages in them if you look hard enough. I had to study 1900s Soviet films for political context :o not fun.

I had to study 1900s Soviet films for political context :S not fun. ← Heh, that sounds like my idea of a good time! I can be very analytical of films, as well as pretty much every other type of media. I seem to spend a lot of time drawing parallels between different narratives and pondering the social significance of plot elements. I'm a lot worse with books, continually looking at the development of ideas and little inflections of language. I guess I'll always just be an English student at heart really :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
