This essay puts Haas et al.’s theory to the test that all films are political and extends the theory to see if we can push a film through a specific political lens and analyze:
Drawing upon on Hobbes’ theory of a State of Nature discuss how a “war of all against all” ensues between different character’s in the story of your film choice, in the goal to achieve Felicity .
How and/or why is this war started or provoked? Do the characters fall into a state of nature or resist a State of Nature in their goal to achieve Felicity?
consider the rules and laws of society and how they might be interpreted for the story world that the character’s inhabit.
