Movie Analysis (Dance Flick)






The protagonist in this movie is Thomas the leader of a dance crew. The enigma codes are used very well as Dance Flick is a parody of all the latest dance movies put together, so they will manipulate a scene of another movie into something very humorous, this creates mystery as the audience do not know how the director has manipulated the original scene. Because this is a comedy movie the action codes used were very predictable at times, for instance, there was a scene were a character was hit by a car three times by three celebrities who had committed man slaughter by either drink driving or not focusing on the road. The character was first hit by; ‘Lindsey Lohan’ then ‘Halle Berry’, after that it was very easy for me to anticipate who was going to hit her next which was R&B singer ‘Brandy’ because she was recently (two years ago) prosecuted for hit and run. The linear patterns used by the director were very easy to detect because he used a similar middle to a 2006 dance movie called ‘You Got Served’, so it was easier for me to predict the end of the movie, which was a predictable dance of between the two crews. The movie had a very mulit-stranded narrative so they could incorporate other scenes from other movies to give it more of a comedic edge. There was no equilibrium because the harmony in the movie was constantly changing, however, the new equilibrium appeared at the end of the movie, which was quite a different outcome because their was no evil force it was just an opposing dance crew so when they lost it supposable restored order. Taken from Vladimir’s concept, the Hero was Thomas leader of the winning dance crew.
