Task 2 - How does The Hostage represent particular social groups?



In our Thriller, we are showing characters hinting on 'The Golddigger woman' marrying a rich older man who holds her like a 'trophy wife'.


We achieved this by using a very glamorous woman dressed in sexy red clothes, symbolising her dangerous temper and character, highlighting how she is a user and manipulater to reach her shameful goals of marrying for money. Some women in the audience may be able to relate to this situation. Therefore using the Ferrari and high fashion brands shows that the husband is probably intentionally very generous and is buying her love. Her love is probably not true since we can see her talking unfriendly to him on the phone being annoyed by his children.

There are several films and TV productions that involve this topic.
A very obvious one is Hugh Hefner, the inventor and publisher of THE PLAYBOY magazine and also is the part of the MTV Show 'The Girls Of The Playboy Mansion' where his, but actually the life of his three girlfriends, 'The Playgirls', is shown. He is one of the richest Americans and lives at an age of 84 an ostentatious life surrounded by very young, blonde and sexy women.
