Sep. 5th, 2006 01:04 amI just encountered a page on IMDB that, I believe, considers and maps concepts related to the two keywords "Christ Allegory" and "Female Soldier".
I don't understand the map at all, but I do like the fact that it arranges on the same page the following narrative elemeccnts:
Based on toy.....Chosen one.....Courage.....Cross dressing.....Cult favorite
Dismemberment.....End of the world.....Gender disguise.....Good versus evil
Miniature people.....Obscene finger gesture.....Redemption.....Shakespeare references
Poetic justice.....Righteous rage.....Title spoken by character
I feel that one could extrapolate a full structuralist reading of the entire genre of film just from this one website -- I mean, the page that maps narrative elements, not IMDB as a whole.
