Narrative Theory task
Film Chosen - Iron Man A - (Genre Theory) Iron Man is in the action/adventure genre. It meets the expectations of the genre because throughout the film there are various different action set pieces such as explosions, fight scenes and chases, all filmed with fast paced camera movement and shots and scored with intense and gripping music. This is stereotypical of most high budget, action block busters it. It subverts the expectations of the genre by depicting the protagonist (Tony Stark) at the beginning of the film as completely unlikable. He is a drunk, misogynistic and is selfish. However his character progresses throughout the film to become the likeable Tony Stark that we know from modern day marvel movies. This is is different because the majority of heroes in superhero movies in the time period Iron Man came out were your stereotypical all good protagonists with not a lot of depth. This shows that Iron Man is transgressive of the stereotypical conventions of superhero movies...
