The Problematic and Ideology

The Problematic
The problematic is the main problem in a film that the main character will face and have to resolve by the end. The problematic is often used to describe what a film is about.

The problematic in Fatal Attraction
Married man, Dan Gallagher, has an affair with a woman named Alex. Alex turns out to be slightly mentally unstable and she causes lots of problems for Dan and his family.

The problematic in Scream
A serial killer strikes in a quiet town in America and the characters try to stay alive and find out who the killer really is.

The problematic in Disturbia
A teenager named Kale is put under house arrest after punching a teacher. He begins to look out of the windows in his house and starts to believe that one of his neighbours is a serial killer.

Ideology
Ideology is the main point that a film is trying to make and what a film is against.

The ideology in Fatal Attraction


  • Single women are dangerous
  • It's better to be a stereotypical married housewife

The ideology in Psycho

  • Mentally ill people are a danger to society
