DOTD (2004) image analysis 1


 
 
This scene shows Andre and Kenneth talking in a bathroom, and their clothing connotes they are two different characters even though they are both black. Also there shirt are black and white the black connoting an outsider/ ’black sheep’ while white connotes innocent and on Kenneth it reflect his job as a policeman

Kenneth reveals that Andre is a thief and this shows between them Kenneth has more power over Andre because Kenneth is in the foreground of the scene. Kenneth’s background as a police officer shows him as a more morally superior character in the story however in the scene Andre says he trying to change his life for his girlfriend (Luda) so this shows him as a little bit of a likeable character. These characters are both shown to be heroes in the movie, and many horror films have black heroes. Another movie with a black hero is Resident Evil afterlife with the character of Luther seeming to be dead only for the end to show him alive and seems such an cool and likeable character.
