Dystopian films
- Experimental – Metropolis (1927) Fritz Lang – basic plot, messed up world, brings the basic features from a dystopian film and creates the emotional broken world around a protagonist who tries to save the day.
- Classic – Blade Runner (1982) Ridley Scott – ruined world, people want to change it, death, good people die, reality in destroyed world. Things get better in the end. Blade Runner brings certain aspects of dystopian films in a way that connects the characters to the audience and creates distinct features for dystopian films.
- Parody – The Hungover Games (2014) Josh Stolberg – parody of the Hunger games. Includes people fighting for their lives. like the hunger games but silly and they’re hungover. Done to make money on the back off the hunger games.
- Deconstruction – Under the skin (2013) John Glazer – Alienation, metaphor for people that don’t fit in. Weird sounds,costumes and stuck as someone she doesn’t want to be. This takes Dystopian films to a new level and it has a dystopian base layer but in a deep and meaningful way.
