Almelor and fellow students. Today I will be doing a speech on the area of study, personal relationship. Personal relationship is a complex concept that continues to intrigue humanity, this close connection can be achieved by emotional bonds and interactions. It enhances the understanding of an individual, other people and the world, which will result in a change in perception. Furthermore, moral responsibility and choices are what will strengthen the connection between two or more people. Doppelganger by Michael Parker and Kingsman: The Secret Service by Matthew Vaughn are 2 texts that So how does Doppelganger link to the idea of personal relationship? Doppelganger is a text that is about the protagonist Andrew, struggling to choose between his Sydney and a parallel Sydney. He realised what he did could kill hundreds of people. When people die in that world, they die in this one too. This quote shows the main problem of the story. At the beginning the audience can see Andrew is a character that chooses inaction over action, rips off school uniform to reveal myself as inertia man Although their value systems are different, Andrew still hangs around Josh. Andrews relationship with Josh is tested through conflicts. In order to save the world, he Michael Parker uses repetition here to emphasise the importance of Josh to Andrew. Josh is a friend Andrew knew since third grade, he is completely different from Andrew, he has lots of power, a risk taker and he is a leader that tells people what to do. In the class of Mrs Swain, a teacher at the school. Andrew thought Joshs treatment to her was a spectacle But he also felt bad for being the one to throw away the ripped pieces of the photo. It was one thing to watch something like that go on, it was another thing to do this. Parker had shown use of parataxis to show Andrews hesitation with his actions which have been forced by peer pressure. Thus, we can as repetition and parataxis. Hence, Kingsman: The Secret Service also explores the idea of personal relationship through the character of Eggsy, Valentine and Harry. In this movie, Harry tested Eggsy what it takes to be a Kingsman, a gentleman secret agent. Harry took Eggsy to the tailor to get him a suit, this shows that harry recongised his potential of Eggsy becoming a Kingsman just like him, The suit is the modern gentleman's armour. The Kingsmen are the new knights.
In this tailor shop scene, a medium camera shot was used
to show Harry and Eggsy together but being two completely different people, just like Andrew and Josh, Harry who acted like a gentleman in a suit and Eggsy who was in a hoodie and a cap acted like a hipster. In the scene of Harrys death the director used juxtaposition, a long camera shot was used to show Valentine the antagonist shooting Harry in the head and quickly changed to a close up shot of Eggsy who was in complete shock. Apart from camera shots, the director also uses non-diegetic sound to make the scene more dramatic and made us show sympathy to both Harry and Eggsy. Eggsy went back to save the world after being kicked out of the Kingsman organisation became a moral responsibility to him there is no choice, we got to deal with this ourselves. Compare this to Andrew in Doppelganger, both texts share the idea of saving the world as moral respsonsibilies. Doppelganger and Kingsman: The Secret Service both explore the issue of moral responsibility or obligation of saving the world. Personal relationship is important as it often changes peoples perception of the world and strengthening the bonds of 2 or more people.
