Semiotics

  1) What meanings are the audience encouraged to take about the two main characters from the opening of the film? From whats displayed from the opening of the film, the audience are encouraged to take/view that the main characters are abnormal and somewhat trouble makers due to there lack of communication verbally as they annoy a homeless man but lack a substantial response from when he confronts them. 2) How does the end of the film emphasise de Saussure’s belief that signs are polysemic – open to interpretation or more than one meaning? De saussure's belief is emphasised at the end of the film due to us (the audience) finding out that both the main characters are actually death in which explains their previous actions and behaviours that made it seem like they were misbehaving teens. Therefore this portrays de Saussure's belief  as the polysemic meaning is people don't think before they speak.
