The movie i will be analysing is called The ANT-MAN. The genre of ANT-MAN is science-fiction and action. The reason for my opinion is due to the fact that the characters such as ANT-MAN himself is shown to be reduced to a size which is beyond possible in real life. The movie is based around action as violence and enemies are made throughout. As the move proceeds quite a few fights occur and mysterious situations appear. Additionally, alongside all the fight scenes, there are a few characters which questions whether the movie is actually all action or comedy too. The sarcasm in a few characters who jump to conclusion, don't always stay to plan and make hilarious mistakes brings the comedy side to the movie alive. Overall, it's certain that the movie is revolved around violence between the two separated groups whom are unbeatable to their needs and wants.
What happens in the ANT-MAN?
Scott gets released from from robbing a house and gets picked up by his Mexican friend, Luis which is an illegal immigrant. They take Scott back to the house where there is his group, Dave and Kurt. When they get back to the house Luis tries to convince Scott to rob this house that everyone apparently said was loaded. Scott declines multiple times and says he is not robbing any more he has a child to set an example for. Luis does not give up yet though. Anyway, Scott goes out to look for a job so he can buy things for his child and get back on his feet but unfortunately nobody would take him because of his criminal record. So he gets a job at this restaurant without telling the boss he has a criminal record. its all good until the boss finds out and Scott gets fired.
Then its his little daughters birthday and Scott decides to go to his ex wives house and pay his daughter a visit with a gift. When he arrives he hugs his daughter and gives her the gift but his ex comes with her new husband and kicks him out and says Scott doesn't have the right of the law to be here and that he needs to get a job. Poor Scott is back where he started at the house. Then he finally agrees to the robbery so he can get enough money to at least see his child and take her nice places. Because Scott has the skills he goes in the house and the rest of the groups are on guard. Scott gets through all the doors with his clever skills and when he opens the last door all there is lying there is a suit and a helmet. They are all disappointed.
Scott takes the suit without alerting anyone. when they get to the house Scott puts the suit on and presses a button on the suit which magically shrinks him into a size of an ant. The man who owns the suit tells him he was looking for someone like Scott that could break through all these doors and Scott says no I don't want to do this. So the name who owns the suit, Hank gets him in jail and gives him a choice. stay in jail or join him. and Scott chooses to join him. so Scott puts on the suit and escapes from the bars of jail because he shrinks to a small size that people can hardly see. Then he wakes up finding himself in a bed tucked in with pyjamas. he gets out of bed and gets out of the room. He sees Hank waiting for him at the table. Scott sits down to talk with Hank. They talk about what Hank wants him to do and what the suit can do. The suit can shrink into a size small as an ant and has super strength. Hank has a daughter to train Scott for what he has to do. The plan is to stop the new boss of hanks old company from creating a shrinking suit like the one Hank has. Hank wants to stop him because it could cause big problems in the world which is not safe or good. So they train Scott till he is strong enough and understands the suit to defeat The villain. At the end Scott beats the villain with a whole load of action: laser shooting, shrinking fighting.
How is the setting linked to the science fiction genre?
The setting is linked to the science fiction genre only slightly. Its not really the setting that tells me its science fiction, its the accessories and invention like: the suit and helmet, shrinking, flying, controlling ants, riding insects, villains. I'm not sure if the setting is really science fiction though.
How are the characters linked to the science fiction genre?
I only spotted one character that is linked to the science fiction genre. There is the character that is a villain in the movie which is science fiction a little. The rest are normal people with cool science fiction inventions that are unreal. The movie is mostly shown to be science fiction because of the gadgets and a bit of background.
What narrative themes are linked to the genre?
The narrative in ANT-MAN is really a superhero type of movie. I know this because in the movie there is a villain and to beat the villain there is a hero. Thats what the movie is about mostly.
