Vladimir Propp = Binary Oppositions. Kevin is Marv's opposite character.
Typography = The font used for Sin City is particular to the film and can distinguish it apart from other films.
Male Gaze = Women are objectified by men. Marv and pretty much everyone objectifies Jessica Alba..
Zeitgiest = Spirit of the age.. which is quite unique to my text as Neo Noir is based on a genre from the 1940's yet uses 21st century ideologies.
Patriarchal Society = Male dominated soceity. Sin City is a very patriarchal film.
Hybrid genre = A film who uses conventions from two genres. Can Sin City be a mixture of Film Noir and Neo Noir or is it soley Neo Noir?
Motif = reoccuring theme or element that is repeated to give a messege.
Narrative theory = what makes up a narrative which is particular to certain genres. Levi Strauss and Propp are narrative theorists.
Barthes = Enigma Code. Sin City's narrative creates a lot of enigma's for the audience.
Barthes (again) = Myth. When an ideology is repeated enough, people start to believe it. Sin City has generalized sterotypes such as men being the hero for pretty much every women in the film.
