Attack The Block Todorov's Narrative Theory Attack the block uses a Narrative theory. I will be using Todorov's theory to explain the narrative behind attack the block. Todorov's theory is where all narratives follow a simple structure, this structure has 4 parts to to it. These 4 stages are: 1) equilibrium (where everything is normal) 2) something disrupts the equilibrium 3) resolving the problem 4) the new equilibrium This fits nicely into Attack the block, first is the equilibrium (1) and that means what normal and what usually happens, this is the 'gang' mug an innocent girl, Sam.

Edward Scissorhands recap task Apply these theories to the whole film: -  Laura Mulvey - male gaze (REPRESENTATION) -  Henry Jenkins - genre constantly breaking the rules (GENRE) -  Blumer and Katz - Uses and gratification theory (AUDIENCE) -  Todorov's theory of narrative development (NARRATIVE) In Edward Scissorhands the representation of age is the young teens (Jim) wears a black leather jacket and does what he wants when he wants and he also is rebellious and he is horrible to Edward. However the mum is more accepting to Edward and wears colourful clothing and takes pity on him. The dad he is into the idea of Edward staying with them but he tolerates it.

I personally think the genre of Edward Scissorhands is a fantasy as it's not real and it could also be a romance as of the story of Kim and Edward falling in love and their story. ...

Pick key quotes from 2 of the reviews on the site I don't usually go out of a movie, but this one was just probably the worst movie I've seen in my life. Disgusting humour, very bad acting and incredibly slow pacing. We just couldn't waste our time to watch this through and it was a good decision. 1/10 You can't give this movie a good review if you have watched the john oliver show about the inside of the wrestling business. Don't get confused by the "from a real story". Only a few could make a descent living in this jungle.  1/10 What genres does the film fall u...
