Freud-
Ferris Bueller's Day Off:
I have chosen to focus on this film as it follows Freud's theory of the 'ID' the 'Ego' and the 'Superego'. The three main characters of the film fit into these roles, these are: Ferris Bueller as the ID, Sloane as the Ego and Cameron as the Superego. I will be using the parade scene for my presentation as It highlights the characters as these three roles. Ferris flaunts the fact he is skipping school by performing on a float in a parade drawing all of the attention on himself. Cameron initially tries to stop Ferris from doing this but then allows him to carry on. Sloane appears impressed and laughs as Ferris performs at the parade.
Lacan-
Grizzly Man:
Grizzly Man is documentary about Timothy Treadwell, who voluntarily lived in the wild with bears. Timothy filmed himself talking about and to the bears he was around. Timothy is in close proximity to the bears. Timothy lives up to Lacan's theory of 'The Lack' as he wants to be accepted by the bears as one of them. However he never achieved this as the bears natural instinct is to hunt its prey, which in this case was Timothy.
Mulvey-
Easy A:
Easy A is about a girl, Olive, who helps boost her male friends reputations by pretending that she has slept with them. She wears a scarlet A on her chest to relate to the book 'A Scarlet Letter'. 'A Scarlet Letter' is a book about a women who has an illegitimate child and has to live with the guilt of her sin. Olive has to deal with being called derogatory names by her classmates due to the rumours of her sleeping around.
