The lesson today was to see how the fears of past movies can be changed for the audience today. I looked at the 80's and 90's looked at how the fears of the time was represented in the films. I found out that the 80's and 90's feared everything as the cold war was happening they feared Russia and another communist nations(The day after film). The internet started up and people feared that computers would be come to interigent and kill us all(Terminator film). radioactive monster and animals they feared with was shown in film like Godzilla and King Kong. Aliens was also an issue with film like men in black this film also used the fear of stranger dangerous by you not knowing who is an alien and who is human, this fear was also used in home alone. natural disasters were a fear as well as north Korea this fears are still used in films today(2012).
This films are rebooted to show the fears of now. Red Dawn is rebooted last year the original was out in the 80's with Russia invading America. The reboot version was north Korea invading America this shows how the film up dates to fears of now to get the audience full attention .
