Structuralism – Claude Levi-Strauss

 1) Shaolin Soccer

The main purpose of the scene is comedy/obscenity. Meaning is created between the Shaolin monks and the sport of soccer. This is because they are basically polar opposites on how they are known. Soccer is more of a western worldwide sport while Shaolin monks are primarily found in East Asia and are very secluded. The Shaolin created identifiable characters though. Their team is wearing all orange and is quiet unlike the other team that was gloating at the start of the match.  The gloating is stopped after the first monk striker scores a midfield goal. The other team could not even believe it was real, they thought they were hallucinating.

2) The Quick and the Dead

The main purpose of this scene is suspenseful. Meaning is made between the expensive top quality guns and the $5 one that he purchased. This is the case because the person buying it for him does not want to spend too much on the man. The men buying the guns are polar opposites which clearly explains ideas. The older man is wearing a much more wealthy looking outfit, while the younger one is scraping by with Revolutionary War seeming clothing. However, the younger one seems like a very experienced gunslinger as he twirls the gun given to him in about 5 different ways.
