Assignment 3

I choose The Inception.

1. Compare and contrast how the classifications affect how we approach that film.
; I found 3 diffirent classifications-SF,Thriller,Drama. We who think that movie was SF approached the film with many expectations about lots of amazing  computer graphics. And we were really satisfied about that. The computer graphics in The Inception was fantastics. The dream(key point in that movie) was really well described. The road was moved in to the sky,the building was collapsed, and the water flew the road to wake up dreamers.
We who think that movie was Thriller expected to thrill and tense about that movie. But actually the movie was pretty hard to understanding so that it made the movie loose and difficult. As a results, we were pretty bored about that.(Some kinds about difficult scene)
We who think that movie was Drama expected to something touching or lingering imagery. And The Inception gave lots of lingering imagery to us. The end of movie was open ending and that made us imagine the ending. The whole story was dramatics so that we didn't move our eyes on the other sides.

2. What role does gender play?
; The main character is the man. He has charisma. He actioned a lot kind of fighting , junmping on the train and etc.. so that he makes us concentrated the movies. The supporting actor who is the man role played like a funny guy. He is an old fox , soft , and gentled. He makes the movie more comfortable.
The supporting actress who is the woman is pretty , smart , and confident. She has the very important role about the movie (builds dream) and sometimes, she makes romance.
In conclusion, The man role played action , and comic character so that he made the movie excited, powerful, and comic.
The woman role played the smart and lovely character so that she made the movie comfortable and romantic.

3. Are there any other ways that film can be classified?
; Yes, The Inception was classified SF,Drama,Thriller in the diffirent sites. But i think it can be more classified kind of romance and comics.
In the middle of the movie, There are few romance and comic system.(Arthur and Ariadne fallen love each other and Eames and Yusuf made comic scene.)
For these reasons, I think it can be classified SF,Drama,Thriller,Romance, and Comics.

http://inkinman.com/10075087301 (Korea adv)

Why are the different?
The USA adv is showing us to many things about Iphone's functions.
It shows facetime function,display function and,long battery.
It also shows it's slim shape.
The USA advertises us not only it's functions but also it's form!

In contrast China and Korea only advertise their representative function.
Concretely, China advertises a videophone function.
Thereagainst, Korea advertises a copy function.

And the most diffirent is their languages to advertisement.

What kinds of connotations do the ads generate?
That three diffirent advertisement connotate their nice functions.
