Representation of Ability/Disability in Films (Wonder)

Representation of Ability/Disability in Films

In the film Wonder the film spends a long time showing the difference between able bodied people vs disabled bodied people. The main character Augie has mandibulofacial dysostosis which makes his appearance seem different to most people.

In this scene where Auggie is given a school tour around the school and the stop in the science block, Julian asks Auggie "What's the deal with your face". Jack and Charlotte immediately tell Julian to stop what he's saying and that it's rude. The dialogue (sound) here This shows how disability is seen as quite a taboo subject within the school implying that disability is an awkward and bad topic for the students to talk about. This representation of what disabled students and disability of a whole shows how disabled people are something that we don't understand and we can find a bit weird but also very intriguing.

Another representation is how disabled people can also be a bit more mentally able than

regular kids. Despite Auggie being quiet, one of the only lines he speaks in this scene is how Julian says "supposably" when describing science. Auggie corrects Julian saying that the correct thing to say is "supposedly". This can be due to how Auggie's disability is a hinder but that it also helps him when it comes to learning. Due to his disability he may spend a lot of time on his own instead of interacting with other kids his age. This could allow him to learn more and have better understanding of literature. Auggie is shot, off to the side which shows how he is secluded and on his own. It also shows how Julian is cornering him and how he is the one in charge.

On the other hand Julian (who is a fully abled person) has poor grammar and seems cooler than Auggie. His facial expression and dialogue shows how he might take being able bodied for granted and doesn't realise how lucky he is.   

The binary opposition of ability vs disability in this scene and throughout the films strongly shows how people with disability are more hidden away and less interactive with their peers, but it also shows how Auggie is a very bright and intelligent child which can be down to his disability and how he was home-schooled which can make his disability ( a negative thing) into a more positive thing.

Edward scissor-hands two scenes mise en scene

Edwards Scissor hands: Kim dances in snow, scene: Mise-en-scene.

Kim dances in snow: Mise-en-scene

In the scene where Kim dances in the snow, the lighting is quite bright and she is really well lit. This shows meaning by making the scene look like a dream and a fantasy, The lighting makes Kim look like an angel in the snow. The moonlight is usually used in horror but here it is used to show romance. When Jim comes along, the lighting changes to dark, making him seem like the villain.


In the scene, Kim is dancing and smiling. This shows that she is happy, and comfortable around Edward. Edward is seen sculpting an ice statue. This shows that he is very talented and skilled. He is also using what are seen as scary looking hands to make something nice and pure out of them.
It also shows how different they both are by having close ups on Kim and Edward's hands.

The scene starts out inside which makes Kim unknowing of what Edward is doing outside. When she then goes outside she is outside of her comfort zone and yet it seems calm. The scene is also shown at night which means it should be scarier tense but instead the moonlight makes it less frightning.

The sculpture looks to be an angle which could show Kim as being shown as an angle to Edward. The sculpture also shows the size between it and Edward which backs up how skilled he is.

Kim, is dressed in a white elegant dress which makes her seem pure or perfect. It also makes Kim similar to the angle sculpture. Edwards is in his normal entire however it has a lot of wholes and scratches which shows despite how he is treated and seen, he can still make something beautiful.

The hair and makeup is pretty general and natural. Edward looks a lot more normal as the majority of his scares are covered up.

The notes taken in order to produce this.

Ant man and Wasp review

I recently went to Odeon and saw The new Marvel film Ant-man and the Wasp. This is my review.

Opinions:
I personally thought that the film was brilliant and better than the original. I think it was a perfect edition to the Marvel franchise. It was a nice and funny film to watch after the dreadful end of Infinity War. I thought that the characters were good as always and that the humour easily beat the first one which I didn't think it would be able to do. The castings were good choices and it was nice to see Michelle Pfeiffer in another superhero/villain role after her portrayle of Catwoman in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film.



                                                                       Plot:
The film is directed by Peyton Reed who came back from directing the first Ant-Man.The main plot of the film is about the gang including Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) Hop Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) trying to rescue Hope's mum Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) from the quantum realm. This is a hard challenge as Scott is currently under house arrest following the events in Captain America Civil War. Among this adventure the group comes across a super powered girl called Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) who has the abilities to phase through walls. The other side characters such as Luis (Michale Pena) Bill Foster (Laurence Fishburne) and Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) are also really fun to watch interact with the main characters. The end credit scenes are also really good and are definitely worth waiting for.



Overall I think the plot is really good but as many films there are some small things that could be better such as giving Michelle Pfeiffer more screen time, or giving Sunny Burch (Walton Goggins) a bit more of a firmer background. He of a sudden shows up without having much of an introduction, and yes as many people, I would have loved to see Bill Foster become Goliath and fight/help Ant-Man like in the comics.
