Today's lesson was on the fears of the masses and how these fears were presented in the movies released at the time. We were set the task of researching movies of the 80's and 90's in order to see what were the fears at the time.
'Home Alone' (1990) was based on the fear of dangerous strangers; this fear was presented by two burglars attempting to burgle the house of a family that are on vacation. If we were to look at the 80's we would find that many fears are quite far fetched such as the premise of aliens; as evidenced by the 1986 movie simply titled 'Aliens' which was to play on the fear of extra-terrestrial attacks.
If either of the movies mentioned were rebooted in the next couple of years, the threats would still remain the same due to the fear still being present in modern day society.
