THE BIG HEAT
Research for ‘THE BIG HEAT’. Fill in details below for the following, I’ve done the first one for you.
NUCLEAR BOMB/RADIOACTIVITY
- Taken from Walter Metz - Film Criticism 21.3 Spring 1997.
- The bomb from the car is a flash and doesn’t show the car’s damage. This connects the car bombing to a cliche common in 1950s films.
- Debbie has hot coffee thrown in her face, the shows the audience a way of confronting the effects of violence on women.
- The effects of the coffee on her face suggest the consequences of radiation poisoning - a connection to atomic warfare. There were government attempts to censor radiation.
- ‘The coffee is a radioactive drink, it’s stinging effects are felt by Debbie’.
- The radiation burns on her face become the film’s ‘angel of death’.
