Meeting 7

Date: 29/01/09
Chris absent due to hockey.
We discussed and learnt about representation in thriller films through the aspects of age, gender, sexuality, disability, wealth/class and ethnicity. We talked about things such as, how money is the driving force in many thrillers, making it a MacGuffin, and that a disability like mental illness is normally perceived in a negative, clinical, sexual, mysterious and dark way.
We also watched two thriller openings and analysed them, these two films were The Usual Suspect and Silence of the Lambs.
