Analysis Of The Movie ' Pariah '

Paisan is a revolutionary, documentary-style film, consisting of six separate but seemingly related episodes. Director Roberto Rossellini uses this film to portray the drastic consequences of war on a nation, the people, and overall society. Neorealism was a pivotal movement, and Paisan brought attention to the Fascist influence by showing the harsh economic and social reality of World War II. Rossellini also uses Paisan to allude to regionalism and the importance of a unified nation. Paisan exposes a fundamental truth and emphasizes a need for reconstruction through the use of a complex setting, elements of humanity, and reoccurring themes of revival.

With that in mind, it took me a few extra viewings of the movie to be able to convey any meaning to the film. Wollen says, “The cinema cannot show the truth, or reveal it, because the truth is not out there in the real world, waiting to be photographed. What the cinema can do is produce meanings and meanings can only be plotted, not in relation to some abstract yardstick or criterion of truth, but in relation to other meanings.” At first, I was upset by how disruptive and senseless the movie seemed to be, and even thought I had watched it a couple of times before reading Wollen’s article, it was only when I read it that I grasped the understanding of giving meaning to other meanings. I had to look beyond the story and into how this movie was made to be able to make any sense of it.

The graphic memoir Fun Home and the short film Pariah both contribute to a conversation on intersectional politics regarding respectability and normativity. The Bechdel family in Fun Home maintain a perfectly respectable familial façade to the external world even as the complications of Bruce Bechdel’s sexual appetites and inclinations threaten to tear the family apart internally. Likewise, Alike’s gender identity and sexuality creates a conflict in her family as they try to uphold middle-class respectability. In both contexts, respectability intersects with normativity and performance of normativity, however, both texts also challenge assumptions about the ways in which respectability politics intersect with normativity, especially in regards to family and kinship dynamics.

He focused on the entertainment that the film provided to the viewer and the continued joy that one may feel after the fact. Scott’s Review scraped the top of the barrel he represents the majority of people of whom merely enter the theater to lose themselves in the story and perhaps forget something in the process. Scott praises the film for its dark comedy and use of gore that both enthralled and revolted his senses. “It may seem strange that I am praising a work of such unremitting savagery. I confess that I’m a little startled myself, but it’s
