Essay on Myth in World Film

     The 400 Blows and Oliver Twist




For my final movie analysis I wanted to compare the lives of Antoine from the 400 Blows and the title character of Oliver from Oliver Twist. I had a lot of difficulty coming up with a good idea but this one really clicked. I like that they both touch upon life from a child's perspective. But beyond that the stories focus on topics like the battle between the social classes, how corruption from adults ultimately ends up corrupting the youth, loss of freedom and feelings of entrapment, the loss of innocence, and abuse on both a physical and psychological level among many other things.
