Captain Fantastic

Narrative and personal view 
The film Captain Fantastic is about how Ben and Leslie Cash live in the unknown away the population to try to bring up their children in a subsistence lifestyle to make them do things independently and to bring them up in a positive environment. I personally think that this film is a bit flat and has a very slow start which means that it takes a while to get into the film although i don't think that the film is very good i do think that is tackles certain expects of life and the different ways that people live their lives. I also think that the ending of the film is good because as a spectator it makes you feel happy for the family because they get what they want in the end which is to cremate their mother and also brings a sense of joy to this movie.

The ambiguity within
The ambiguity within this film is that it is an open ending and could end in several different ways to make the story different, and also that the spectators don't know how they got to where they were at the end and we don't who help them get there. So the film ends by giving the spectators a question and leaving that question unanswered which helps to give the spectator there own perspective on the film and there own idea of how it ended.

The representations of masculinity
The representations of masculinity in this film is that the father brings the children up in a masculinity lifestyle in the way that you need to be big and strong to live this certain style of life

Trainspotting social and cultural contexts

The film Trainspotting portrays social and cultural contexts very well in a post Thatcherism era, in the way that the film deals with the effects of Thatcherism and the lack of work for young people in the working class. Thatcherism legacy lived on through the 90s and still developed a lot of unemployment among the UK and this is shown in Trainspotting from the lack of work shown in this film and the fact that none of the main characters have jobs shows that there are still Thatcherism policy is still going on. The characters attitude in this film is lacking motivation in the way that they are choosing heroin over life and are not trying to find a job which contrasts the views of the government which one politician said "get on your bike and find work" which tells us that the characters in this film are not standing by the government and are choosing to live a bad life rather then getting and job and being working class. Also Renton's voice over also tells us that he does...
