Suture

Suture is "classical Hollywood narrative and editing 'sutures' or positions the audience in certain ways making only one reading possible, however uncomfortable the audience is of that position.

This is closely linked with Laura Mulvey's feminist theories, and correctly so on many levels.

For example, many films are about murderers and criminals. Sometimes these characters are the focus of the story, and we sympathise with them because of this. However, they are criminals and in normal society they would be imprisoned and dealt with through a punishable system, but we do not side with them in real life.

Take for example the film 'I Love You Philip Morris' starring Jim Carey. He commits fraud and steals numerous times, gets out of jail on several occasions and we as viewers will him to do so. This is Suture, the audience being in a fixed position where it is hard to take an alternative view on what is shown.

Again, this does not relate heavily to our video as it is light-hearted and does not deliver a deep philosophical message. It uses surface level humour and is there for pure enjoyment, nothing deep is to be taken from it and nothing is heavily expressed throughout. This means that suture does not relate to our video.
