https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh How were zeitgeist and status quo presented differently (or similarly) in both films? en-us 2017-04-25 02:22:41 UTC 2018-05-04 04:48:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Terminator.png https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/170095846 Zeitgeist: Previously it seemed more like a propaganda for war, but the recent film is more targeted towards entertainment and instilling family oriented values.
Point of view in 1953: War and recruitment. 
Point of view in 2005: One man, the single parent and white male hero saving the day. \o/

Mise-en-scene:
Both had moody and warm lighting.

Status Quo:

We think that the 1953 one was focused on how the people were recovering after the war while the 2005 one was more on the apocalypse style scenario.


The zeitgeist of the 1950s could be considered as the act of preserving, guarding or protecting. they are recovering from the war . there is a feeling of fear and uncertainty.

2005:  the zeitgeist is basically a form to entertain the people of that time. it is more of a worse case scenario ]]> 2018-05-04 04:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910024 https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910084 1. Zeitgeist
1953 was a message of war time, while 2005 was a period which was threatened by terrorism worldwide. 

2. Status Quo
2005 version was more individual focused and did not have as much focus on government involvement.]]> 2018-05-04 04:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910084 https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910136 Zeitgeist:
1953 ver focuses more on the military and its futile strategy in fending off the Invaders. It was very one dimensional. There was some aspects in the film that talked about religious beliefs and elements of propaganda as well.

2005 ver is more family focused and the narrative is more humanised. Pulls at the heartstrings of audiences and adds an individual focus.

Status Quo:

1953 was a more of a war as compared to 2005 being a movie closer to an apocalypse.
1953 also focused more on the survival of the whole of humanity as one entity while the 2005 film follows the story of a family trying to survive.
In 1953, most of the people ran away while 2005 more people fought back.

2. Status Quo
1953 - WW2
2005 - 9/11]]> 2018-05-04 04:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910164 https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910185 Zeitgeist: For the older film, it was more of a depiction of the state of affairs in post-war USA- there was a lot of emphasis on the military; whereas for the newer film, the director was clearly angling a focus towards the protagonist's family.

Status Quo: both films reinforced their respective status quo. ]]> 2018-05-04 04:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910185 https://padlet.com/jesslynism/ueh577512hmh/wish/257910204 Zeitgeist : The 1953 movie has more of the post-war theme while for the 2005 movie, the story seems more modernised and based more on recent events in the 2000s to make it more relatable for the audience. 

Status Quo : The status quo is reinforced as the men still fight for the human race.

1953 celebrated war in a sense, after their victory over Nazi Germany and the Japanese. Thus, showcased yet, another victory of America, fighting aliens this time round

In the more recent film, even civillians have the courage to fight for their survival.
