SPY KIDS
Q1:
Explain two ways why the narrative (characters and events) in the extract fits the action and adventure genre.
Use examples from the extract.
Spy Kids is a typical spy action and adventure film for children. It includes narrative conventions which suit the action and adventure genre, this includes conventions such as spectacle. This is especially highlighted when the mother receives the ring box up the Eiffel Tower as it is precisely slid along the rail into her grasp and fireworks go off. The scene is very spectacular because they are at the top of the Eiffel Tower with a beautiful view of Paris, the city of love and life, this therefore connotes love. The fireworks look beautiful and are witnessed from an incredible view. The spectacle is created because it is a very grand and romantic gesture of proposal and is based in a romantic setting.
A second convention in the extract is combat and conflict, for example when the helicopters fly through the wedding in an attempt to attack the two spies and stop them from getting married. They are shown as the antagonistic because they ambush the wedding and force the protagonists Gregorio and Ingrid to flee in an attempt to save their lives. The scene shows clear combat and conflict because there an obvious two sides, good vs. evil, and the protagonists need to flee to avoid possible death.
The characters also fit the action and adventure genre because there is a clear antagonist and protagonist. The story is told from the mothers point of view and she is the narrative background voice which explains the story and the characters feelings, which automatically positions the audience in a position of understanding and encourages them to feel sympathetic to her. This means she is positioned as the hero, a typical character in action and adventure films.
