Continuing with our research on the theme of oppression; this times in films and video:
Coldplay music video - Hurts Like Heaven:
Made for Coldplay's 2011 album Mylo Xyloto, the song and music video refer to a world where colour is crime and there is a dictatorship for silent obedience; never questioning the justification of this oppression. This ties very closely to our film story's lore of illegal creativity. The video inspires the rebellion and elaborate measures to be creative that we seek to show in our film. This being that not being afraid to think outside the box and stand for an open voice a human right we're all entitled to.
V for Vendetta:
Directed by James McTeigue and produced by the Wachowskis, V for Vendetta takes a more violent approach to the rebellion of oppression in the film that is the corrupt British government. However, the idea behind the man in the mask is referred to constantly in the film and is the centre of the plot unfolding. Comparing to our film idea, the long lasting effect of the idea of our film is that no matter what laws this world makes about making creativity illegal, the creation of life is at the heart of every human.
