Outline for Second Term Paper

Intro

a.       The Laws of Physics are broken, bent or exaggerated in all types of film, for the sake of entertainment.

1.       Both live action and animated films break many laws of physics, such as Newton’s 3^rd law

2.       Every force has and equal and opposite reaction force.

Body

a.       Scott Pilgrim vs the World

1. has many intense and exaggerated fighting scenes.

2. The constant exaggerated violence breaks Newton’s 3^rd law constantly, by having hits and punches causing unequal reactions.

b.      The Iron Giant

1.       Animation uses anticipation to increase the clarity and interest of a scene.

2.       The anticipation causes delays in the reaction force that is supposed to be happening at the same time.

c.       Inception

1.       The movie goes between reality and dream world’s which do not follow the rules of physics

2.       The breaking of the rules are on purpose and done to make the point that they are not in reality.

3.       A infinite spinning top breaks these rules, as the force and reaction are not equal to allow the top to keep spinning.

Conclusion

a.       The laws of physics are broken in many ways and in a lot of films, of all types.

b.      Newton’s laws about action and reaction are used in broken in various ways.

c.       In many ways it is a way to increase excitement and entertainment but also to show how the world portrayed is not what we think.
