CAPTAIN FANTASTIC : Ideologies and themes 2 : RITUALS

 






How do the two  funeral scenes portray the different rituals ? Which is presented as  the  more positive and meaningful event ? 

Consider how film form  ( cinematography, editing ( including narrative structure , mise-en-scene, sound and performance ) is used to encourage us to support one ideology or belief system more than another through making the audience empathise   with particular character  or characters . 

This is known as creating allegiance between audience and characters .


Is this creation of allegiance fair and balanced  ? 


What is this contrast saying about the nature of traditional rituals ?


Are there any parts of the funeral and ashes disposal scene you find uncomfortable ? Why ?
