A stereotype is a preconceived ideology about a person or group of people.

An example of this is Auroura from sleeping beauty. she needed to be saved by the prince.

A countertype is someone who breaks the stereotype. they are the opposite of what people expect of them.

A great example of this is Mulan as she breaks down societies expectations that women shouldn’t fight.

My favourite film soundtrack is Labyrinth (Jim Henson, 1986). the music was composed by David Bowie and Trevor Jones. The soundtrack was made specifically for the film. This soundtrack appeals to me because it tends to fit the experiences and circumstance of the characters.

I would give this movie a 7/10.

My most memorable scene would have to be the one when Chiron meets his friend at the dinner. This scene stuck in my mind because of how normal it compared to the rest of the film. There is no violence and running. It’s just two men sat chatting about life.

I would give Joker an 8/10.

My most memorable scene would be the scene when Arthur walks away from after the police get beaten at the train station. The way he so nonchalantly walks away and the slow the clip down with such dramatic music over the top. scene like this are normally seen when a hero walks away from an explosion or a collapsing building carrying a civilian. this contrast between Joker and a hero highlights the decline of his sanity and the anarchy in which the joker represents.
