Thesis Statement: Culture is the core of The Disaster Movie
Common:No matter in Chinese Disaster Movie or in America Disaster Movie will show a piece of horrible picture like seawater submerging city,tornado attacking suburb,earthquake resulting in building collapse and so forth.
Moreover, in the disaster film you will find human beings are helpless,horrible,anxiety under the disaster.Only a few part of people at last are alive.But most of these people lost their couple children and lovers.
Different: American Disaster Films are accustomed to use high technique for showing disaster's horrible.In American Disaster Movie you can see more imagination and creation which are maybe not happened in real catastrophe.Individualism is always appeared in American catastrophe's movie .Usually depend on personal power to rescue people.
China Disaster Movie always go through to describe characters inner emotional change for showing disaster 's horror.Meanwhile,people's dialogs as well are another way to show horror.Collectivism is shown in Chinese disaster movie.
Conclusion:Culture is main reason which result in different between Chinese Disaster Movie and American Disaster Movie.Culture different make us to the comprehension of the disaster's concept is different.
Jack,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very, very intriguing beginning to your work this semester. Comparing Chinese movies to movies in the United States will give you a lot of interesting examples to discuss and will help you to discuss your thesis very well. In the future, work on being more specific with your thesis.
Right now, the thesis is not very specific, but it is really interesting. As you work, think about how your subject matter (the Chinese film and the US film) could inform the thesis. How could you use your films to make your thesis more specific?
Very interesting!
