Sample Essay on Captain Fantastic
This essay will explore how spectators respond to a film in the same way and how they watch and fell for The film Captain Fantastic. Spectatorship is how individuals respond to a film in different ways, Spectators respond differently to films because of key factors like: age, gender, race and culture also personal factors may affect the response of a spectator to a film with things like empathy and the fact that they can relate to the characters.
Filmmakers use a range of key and structural elements of film to respond to the film in a particular way like for example in the opening sequence to Captain Fantastic the filmmakers create an response for the spectators to the family and the way that they are living their lives and how brutal the start is when Bodevan kills the deer and create an emotional response of anger towards the family because of the way that they kill the deer and the anger that is portrayed. The filmmakers deliberately make the opening sequence horrifying to show the difference in life between their way of life and the normal society and to show that their way of life is brutal and the rational response of that the boy needs to kill to live in their society and needs to do these things to stay alive and that he also needs to do this to become a man. The mise-en-scene used in this opening scene is really effective in creating a response for the spectators, The filmmakers do this by making Bodevan look inhumane and scary they do this by making his costume different because of the black paint used on his face and the lack of clothes which are used to make him camouflage and stay undetected. The performance of the actors in this opening scene is important because of how is counters the initial response of the spectators and how they would be shocked and horrified by the brutal killing of the deer but the actors in the film have a bold and fearless reaction to the killing to show that its there way of life and is normal for them. Also the camera work used in this scene is effective because of how the close ups shot really shoe the brutality of the scene and how horrifying the death is and helps to create a response for the spectators. An emotional response that the spectator may feel is a sense of shook towards Ben when he cuts the heart out and gives it to Bodevan to eat which also gives it more of a brutal response because of the way that he just eats it with no emotion towards the animal and can have a bit of sympathy towards the animal.
To conclude to a film like this spectators may sometimes respond in the same way and may have similar emotional responses to this film in the way that it makes them feel. Like for example a response of shock when the father makes the boy eat the deers heart but also make crate a different response with other people which shows spectatorship and that everyone doesn't respond in the same way and have difference of opinion. On the other hand spectators have rational responses to film and the way that sometimes things like these need to be done, one spectators may feel disappointed and disgusted toward the family because of the brutal kill of the deer other spectators will understand that things like this need to be done for the family to stay alive and that it is just part of life in the way that this will happen a lot in life.
