Evaluation Question Two: How does your media product represent social groups?




The characters portrayed by Jodie Foster, Meg and Kirsten Stewart, Sarah being pyschological tortured by the decision to divorce her husband Stephen who had an affair, as they are hiding in a room panicking in fear for their lives. Whereas, Yasmin's character is not hiding from anyone as she is in her kitchen, where she cooks humans.
The cannibal in 'The List' is inflicting the pain on her victims that she kills and eats, as she eats humans only.
Forest Whitaker’s character, Burnham, saves Sarah’s life as she would have died from a lack of sugar because she is diabetic.
The similarities of Yasmin’s character and Jared Leto’s character, Junior all have the psychological intent to kill, as she kills a girl from no reason. However, Junior gets killed by Raoul, who shoots him in the eye when he attempts to leave the house and stop the operation.
Junior and Yasmin’s character have ideas of inflicting pain as Junior invades Meg’s house. On the other hand, Yasmin’s character seeks revenge by the idea of cannibalism, which is how she responds to people who have angered her.
The similarity is both films have white middle class women. Nevertheless, the difference is Sarah in ‘Panic Room’ is vulnerable as she is hiding in a room from a drug addict. In ‘The List’ Yasmin’s character is not going to be victimised by humans, therefore she takes revenge personal by eating humans.
