animal farm by george orwell is a good one, also we had in our p/play booklet 'when generals talk' by midnight oil - it shows public power + deception. heres my half yearlies revison it might help
pathetically basic yet easy to analyse...and thats what will get you marks you dickhead. not necessarily originality but anaylsis of text. and considering there are actual HSC based study books on Animal Farm which detail how to get the marks, why not use it?rcandelori said:Harry Potter, Animal Farm, Cruel Intentions? Oh my god, how pathetically basic are these texts? The Board of Studies are looking for more originality in the selection of extra texts, and quite frankly the ones I've read on this thread are bad.
British Television series "House of Cards" and the 1988 film "Dangerous Liaisons" are much better choices.

I might as well count you in on the pathetic list as well. A useless being you are.scoby_2000 said:wow.....were u abused as a child coz every post you write seems to be saying how pathetic something is
you're a tool. why bother posting here? clearly no one is interested in what you have said, ur contribution sucked - and u degraded others who are trying to assist someone else and who actually provided some useful notes rather than suggesting crap television series or outdated movies ... you're the pathetic one herercandelori said:I might as well count you in on the pathetic list as well.

don't be such a snob. nothing is "better" than something else, it depends on your ability to analyse it and back up what you say with evidence from the text etc.rcandelori said:Harry Potter, Animal Farm, Cruel Intentions?

It's good if you can put a gender powerplay spin on it, (there's no women in Fight Club itself, and concentrate on the way women are represented) the dynamics of male power relations, the fact that Fight Club enforces the primal masculine qualities of men etc. etc. This in itself provides a type of gender powerplay in that Tyler excludes the feminine sex. It suggests that there's too much maternal influence in society which makes men "weaker" and support that by quoting Tyler: "We're a generation raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is what we really need." It also plays on male insecurities - castration is alluded to - which suggests the dynamics of male power relations.
Fight Club is a dark movie in which without all the blood and struggle, it would be impossible to show the effects of loss of personal power. Don't forget to mention specific techniques eg. flashback, soundtrack to support your argument.
I used Star Wars as well, but Fight Club was what you were after, so there you go.
