Ideologies presented in Wild Child.


Ideologies presented in Wild Child.


'An ideology is a world view, a system of values, attitudes and beliefs which an individual, group or society holds to be true or important; these are shared by a culture or society about how that society should function. Dominant ideologies.'
In Wild child, the director has created this film to relate to the generation of now, as everyone in this generation is seen to always be on their phone and want to party 24/7. It shows the difference of life's in different countries, however they all have the same expectation. For example, the main character was from America, but the film was based in England, so it shows that as she has been moved all that way to have the same mannerisms as the stereotypical English, every country goes back to the same roots of what they would like their children and the younger generation to be like. Therefore the ideology of beliefs throughout different countries are all roughly the same, as even though generations are different in different countries, we all really want the same thing. In this film, it also conveys the typical love story between a girl and a boy, however the twist in this particular  love story is that the love story is between the American and the Head teachers son, which is seen as 'forbidden'. So even though Nick Moore has tried to show the generation trying to repair themselves, it also shows a little bit rebelliousness as otherwise the target audience would not be as interested as it would not be seen as fun to them.
The society side of the ideology in this film is very different, as the English girls all refer to Poppy Moore (Emma Roberts) 'The American' instead of her name, as she is put down to her country, not her personality, which shows that there is not much interaction between countries for our generation until it is right in front of us and forced upon us. Nick Moore (the director) also addresses religion in the film as the English girls at the boarding school are all supposedly 'Christian' whereas Poppy is not and makes fun of that aspect, which again shows a difference of the ideologies of each generation is different countries.
