Movie

007 Spectre 
The trailer for Spectre uses many narrative elements typical of the action genre. Propp's character theory relates to this films narrative because Spectre has a clear protagonist, Daniel Craig's character James Bond. Bond is shown to be the strongest character in the movie because he has several set of skills such as using his intelligence to escape from the villain. The heroine is the Russian woman who Bond protects and has romantic feelings towards her. In some characteristics, the Russian woman conforms to conventional heroines for instance she is seen as a prize for James Bond. On the other hand, she could be seen as subversive because she is intelligent scientist, independent, and has an impressive job. The mentor role is one of teacher or guider and you could argue that M fulfils has this role.

In trailer, there is not much evidence to support equilibrium in Todorov's theory, Theres more proof sof disequilibrium which makes perfect sense for a James Bond film. Agent Bond is a spy and he fights crime for a living which makes his like a living chaos in our eyes. To truly find the equilibrium in Spectre you need to really pay attention to small details in the film due the movie is constantly full of energy and action. In the trailer its basically disequilibrium constantly.


For Barthes theory, the enigma code is when the father of the missing daughter reveals to Bond that she is missing. This is an enigma code the reason for this is that the daughter is the only help for Bond so theres a mission for him to find her as he now knows she's missing. The missing girls father commits suicide due to the stress he has, which made the whole situation a lot more intense.Action codes are very conventional in this movie, theres action most of the time. The action code is at its most effective way is when agents Bond finds the girl and now has a duty to keep her safe from the villains, in addition he has also gave his word to find the girl which he does. There are dramatic scenes when Bond has shooting scene or a fighting scene that creates visceralious pleasure to the viewers. 



Wolf of Wall Street
The conventions of Todorov's theory is that it has an equilibrium  when he starts his new job and starts to make millions of dollars by using The basic method of the firm is a pump and dump scam. To cloak this, Belfort gives the firm the respectable name of "Stratton Oakmont". After an exposé in Forbes, hundreds of ambitious young financiers flock to his company. The movie has a disequilibrium when the protagonist Jordan Belfort starts to use his money for bad used like drugs and prostitutes. The movie then receives a new equilibrium when Belfort turns his life around and starts makes a living hosting seminars on sales technique.

Also, the conventions of Propps theory was very complicated as many of the characters are evil. But the the main protagonist is Leonardo DiCaprio because he starts his business and makes millions. the Heroine is Margot Robbie because she is the woman that DiCaprio marries.  The father of the movie is Matthew McConaughey because he guides DiCaprio to his business. The helper of the film is Jonah Hill because he works with DiCaprio in order to make history. The donor of the film Jon Bernthal because he provides ideas like moving his money to a different country.

For Barthes theory in this film contains the Enigma code makes us think that he could do with millions of dollars and we also think that if he gets caught by the FBI because he has done so much illegal felonies. The Action codes in this film suggests that he meets this new women in who he marries and has a daughter. It also suggests that Belfort will get arrested because this movie is based in real events so we know that he will get arrested. And the FBI never fail to capture their target and Belfort is at the top of the list
