Mock Exam will be comparing Children of Men and V for Vendetta.
Talk about key scenes from both films
Sequel Idea for Children of Men
-The people on "The Tomorrow" help Kee and her baby get on the boat but they realise she's an immigrant, take her baby and put her in one of the deportation cages
Style reinforces the atmosphere of the film
-We see the film from Theo's bleak perspective
-The world is dead which is reflected in the colours used in the film
-Style ties in with the narrative
Stock Characters in Children of Men
-Theo is portrayed as the byronic/reluctant hero
-Jasper is seen as a father figure to Theo
-Kee's stock character is the damsel in distress
-The police in this film are a reflection of society in this film which is corrupt
-Luke's stock characters are the town bully, tycoon and rake
-Sid is portrayed to be the super soldier
V for Vendetta is stylised and non-realistic
Wreck It Ralph clip
-Human centered: individual characters are the casual agents of the narrative
-Is driven by desire - the narrative defines a lack or need
Children of Men doesn't conform to the Classic Hollywood Narrative because the hero doesn't get the girl, the final scene of the film is open ended, not determining whether things will change or not
