The 5th key to media: "media contain ideological and value messages". A fact that is often ignored by the sterotypical audience. Movies, cartoons, music all have meaings to them. Family guy ,even though the comedy is soo random, has moral meanings on life. Heres a list i think are common themes found in each mainstream genre of movie with a movie title example.
Romantic comedy: "A failed relationship always leads you to whom your true love is". (the holiday)
Action: "If you put your mind to it you can conquer the impossible" (die hard)
Horror: " Always follow your instinct" (wrong turn)
Chick flicks: "love fuels our world, without it we crumble" (a walk to remember)
Comedy: " You can make the best or even fix up a situation if you have a optimist view in a bad situatiion" (norbit)
Mystery: "instincts are always right" (csi)
Some themes i discovered while watching my favorite t.v shows, movies etc. that relate to the 5th key of media. Critique what you watch. By thinking in a cirtical matter these themes would come out at you like a bullet.
