Resource summary
Captain Fantastic
Left wing ideology
Shared responsibility
Scene of butchering the deer in montage like style
Significance of Ben passing daughter the rope that the deer is on, then girl hands sister knife
Jump cut to 'watering schedule' shows everything is done as equally as possible
Anti-capitalism
Do not celebrate mainstream holidays
Celebrate Noam Chomsky day
Philosopher and political activist

Identification
Increased in scenes involving hallucinations of Ben's wife
Character-audience relationship
Dual perspective of life
Ben
lives off the surroundings (anti-capitalist)
Opening scene when they kill and prepare a deer to eat, could be seen as very dangerous for the audience
Fails to conform to the rules set buy society
Shown when he shop lifts from the supermarket with his kids
Suffers loss-wants to move on
Shown when he breaks the news to his children in a blunt and shocking way, it does not interfere with their routine the day later
Jack
Lives the archetypal middle-upper classed lifestyle
Lives in a massive house which is shown to be a selfish display of wealth when compared with Ben's house
Conforms to social norms
Sits in his daughters funeral at the front, wearing appropriate clothing unlike Ben.
Suffers loss-wants to grieve
He wants his daughter to have a standard funeral as a send off however Ben wants her to be celebrated by those who loved her
Mise-en-Scene
Symbolism of hair with transition and change of identity
Costume: outdated old clothes suggest they're out of touch with society and living in the past
Irony in daughter going into A&E being in an artificial environment as a last resort to save her life. Ben is Anti-establishment and institution.
Editing
Bo becoming a man at the beginning in this rite of passage, slow moving camera paired with faster cuts
Conforms to continuity editing from start to finish
'related shots paired together from the same clip puts the audience attention onto something specific, for example the deer at the beginning.
Bens hallucinations show editing techniques used:
Visual Softness, choral music, lighting effects showing her appear, and fade away.
