"the film explores the theme of... Through the scene/character ... (description) the costume is ... (analysis) and symbolises ... (synthesis) this celebrates/criticises/warns the ideal/ belief that..."
"the film has strong ... Values and questions the role of... By exploring the themes of..."

Themes in v - corruption, oppression, freedom

Infer meaning (put a meaning into something)
- representing
- implying
- reasons for

To express a message - criticises, celebrates
Justify; explain yourself

Distopian films take aspects from the present

My paragraph:
The film explores the theme of oppression through the concentration camp scene. This shows how Larkhill had these people in these camps and they was tested on. This is shown by the make up as they are being beaten up. It was also shown by their costume with the orange jumpsuits and this symbolises that they have had their identities taken away. This criticises the belief of oppression as it creates people to fight back and the camp created V to be who he is.
