2013 Carrie
Syntagmatic:
Clothed: innocent, nice, naïve.
Unclothed: mean, spiteful, dirty.
Fetal Position: scared, defenseless.
Standing: prowling, stalking.
All the women are white and fit.
All the girls either have long hair or bangs with a pony
tail.
As seen in other movies like mean girls, easy A and Emma,
the antagonist of the plot are pretty, fit, white girls.
Paradigmatic:
If the character under attack is substituted
with a non-white character the pictures meaning changes dramatically. It goes
from being about high school bullying and pushing a young girl over the edge to
a plot revolved around racism, and acts of hatred. Racism which is a great
taboo among society today.
