Distinctively aesthetic explores the way we see as well as visualize pictures in a way that permits us to become aware of different aspects in society. The play, The Shoe Car horn Sonata written by John Misto and the film clip Foolish Girls simply by Pink, use distinctively image elements to create a sense of awareness regarding women. Misto’s script pays off tribute to the Australian woman nurses in WWII, disclosing the facts of battle through the power and strength of Bridie and Sheila. Similarly, the characterization with the ‘stupid girls’ in Pink’s film show, highlight the toxic emails of consumerism aimed at young girls.
She actually does this simply by exploiting her celebrity status through the press. Both composers position the responder to question yesteryear and the mass media, and recognize what woman have gone and are going through.
In The Shoe Car horn Sonata, Misto reveals the ignorance described by the Uk and Aussie government for the women kept captive in old Singapore. The contrast between the expected images of the “1942 Singapore” and the association of the patriotic song ‘Rule Britannia’ emphaises the idiotic attitude of the British govt, as their belief towards the Japanese invasion was seen as unique.
This can be further pointed out when the Uk state “don’t listen to rumour”. As a result of the British’s attitude the vibrant images of “burning ships” and “women prisoners with the Japanese…skin and bone and dressed in rags” position the audience to become mindful of the self-centered views by British. Much like this, the Australian government’s advice to “keep smiling” ironically implies their uninformed view for the women.
This is contrasted with all the projected images of “Prime Minister David Curtain…quite distressed” and “emaciated male prisoners of battle, starving” displaying his concern for the dying guy POWs. This kind of shows an existence of sexism through which Misto positions us to get aware of this matter, raised during wartime. Fusione uses ignorance of the British government to exhibit the strength of these kinds of women who from the beginning have very little support coming from a apparently ‘great’ region. Their lack of knowledge becomes one more struggle these women have to overcome in their journey to freedom. Displaying what these women were up against, Differenziato demonstrates the value of this function in history.
By simply experiencing times of hardship, the skills amongst people continues to grow. Differenziato presents this through the theme of the shoe horn which in turn becomes not only a survival application but a catalyst for the growth of the relationship between Bridie and Sheila. In scene three the footwear horn is usually physically demonstrated when Bridie and Sheila retell with their survival inside the ocean, in which Bridie used it as a buoyant for Andrea. This is combined with the sound effect of waves which allows the audience to visualise the placing and empathise with the have difficulties they endured. At the play’s ending, the spotlight with the shoe car horn is the final object seen by the market, highlighting the importance of this target, representing all memories of the POW camp The ‘Blue Danube Waltz’ accompanies the shoe horn, which symbolises a sense of freedom as it turns into “the music of happiness and sucess and survival”.
When Andrea uncovers her buried previous “So We went to the Japs” the shoe horn is exposed as a tangible object, featuring her fearful memories of when the girl sacrificed her virginity towards the Japanese. This kind of depicts not only the unpleasant realities of war but also the strength of Bridie and Sheila’s marriage as Sheila states “I couldn’t enable you to die and leave me, I would not have survived”. The footwear horn was also utilized as a metronome for the sonata which will showed a feeling of unity and strength amongst the women, who also fought to survive “fifty noises set all of us free”. Amalgama positions the audience to identify the suffering and pain these kinds of women got experienced, thus become aware of the harsh realities of war. Nevertheless it is through their strength within just themselves and since a group that enables them to survive.
Conversely for this, Pink uses symbolism to show the affect of consumerism on the youngsters and the text messages portrayed by the media. Inside the first landscape Pink’s selection of age is used with the girl representing chasteness holding a Barbie doll signifying consumerism, emphasizes the influence which has already impacted on young ladies. The juxtaposition of the angel and the satan symbolizes the choices that girls face in order to live a regular lifestyle. Inside the bowling landscape, the close up of the water breasts reveals the absurdity of the taken and emphasise the focus upon ‘body’ rather than mind. This suggests that the media can be convincing girls to act, act and be some way. Consumerism is harmful as it can bring about more serious consequences e. g. eating disorders and oversexualisation. Pink positions the audience to never only recognize this issue but for take action to prevent this kind of happening further more to the more youthful generation.
Just like Pink, Amalgama shows the way the ignorance of the British has resulted in a deadly consequence in the women being held captive as POWs. The unconvential line of “if only they had” shows that if the British had assumed the invasion was developing, then they may have saved more lives. As opposed to Misto, Lilac uses �pigramme to manipulate the celebrity lifestyle to which young ladies look up to. Inside the bulimia field, when Green states “I totally got more than 300 calories today, that was so not really sexy” accompanied by the close from the toothbrush symbolizes the expected way to loose weight, therefore body image can be considered a priority to get young females. By cutting between the love-making tape and car washing moments it conveys the oversexualisation of the well-liked culture in contemporary contemporary society, to which Pink states “she’s dancing in the video following to fifty cent”.
This kind of suggests that throughout the actions of female position models, girls are inspired to act such as a “stupid girl” in order to meet society’s targets. Thus Red positions the group to become mindful of the false images the particular celebrities portray. Like Red, Misto conveys the have difficulty that these females endure in order to survive, through the symbolism with the caramel symbolizing their just luxury of food, which in turn Misto positions us to empathise with their struggle. This kind of inevitably shows the strength of the women prisoners although also the effectiveness of women who battle to raise awareness about concerns in the modern day society.
The two texts offer a detailed examination on the have difficulties of women during the past and in present society, placing the avalar to identify using their pain and suffering. Through the use of distinctively visible elements, Differenziato emphasizes the effectiveness of these ladies who fought to survive whilst that great horrible realities of war as POWS. Similarly, Pink’s use of exclusively visual elements portrays the toxic and false text messages the media impose on young females in order to live a ‘celebrity lifestyle’. However both the composers enable the audience to empathise with these types of women during wartime but for also act towards the issue of consumerism amongst girl teenagers.
