Kill Bill
Camera angles situate characters consciously using the principles of mis-en-scene. In Kill Bill Vol. II, The Bride (Uma Thurman) is featured in camera angles that convey her potency and power. Camera angles placed on core characters like The Bride also impart emotion and perpetuate primary themes and the tone of the film too. Three scenes that best exemplify the importance of using camera angles to render power and emotion include the trailer fight with Ellie Driver (Daryl Hannah), which takes place in Budd's trailer, the scene in which Bill lectures The Bride about the mythology of superheroes, and the Five Pointed Palm Exploding Heart Technique scene.
A trailer is a confined space, which makes the actors loom larger than they would in a more expansive scene. The confined space also adds tension, as well as providing a natural frame for each scene.

Superheroes as Positive Psychological Role Models One of the universal appeals of animation and manga is their ability to blend reality and fantasy. While each story takes place in a fantastical realm populated by mythical creatures and superheroes with superpowers, there is always a metaphor for the human dimension. Superheroes might have superpowers, but they also have weaknesses that can be exploited by the enemy. Superpowers are, moreover, often depicted as
While war, conquest, honor, and winning war was once valued by society, today, war is looked down upon by society. We don't praise those who can kill the most, we praise those whose innovation -- or superpower -- allows them to do the most good. Thus, one can argue that society's change in ideals has accounted for the development of the superhero. Innovation, or having an ability that no
