The Highest Grossing Movie of the Year

60. Guardians of the Galaxy
• What is it saying to us?
• What is it saying about us?
• How is it saying this?

61. Guardians of the Galaxy
• What does it say about us that three of the strongest
characters are resourceful women? Or that only one
relatively minor character is African-American?

62. Guardians of the Galaxy
What does it say about us that the villain of the most successful
movie of the year is terrorist, a radical, and a religious zealot,
fighting a centuries long war against the more modern world.?

63. Guardians of the Galaxy
Or that his army is composed of character-less, easily disposable,
possibly dead or undead insect-like creatures?
“Necro-craft pilots, enact immolation initiative”

64. Guardians of the Galaxy
Or that the most popular movie of the year shows a
disparate group of extraordinary heroes overcome their
differences and band together to repel a threat from
aliens, or “others,”…

65. Movies
In 20th century pop culture and movies, “the others,”
individuals or masses not like “us,” the intended
audience, beings dehumanized, distasteful,
threatening, have been cast by a number of minorities
and ethnicities.

Guardians’ Director James Gunn has been lauded for bringing his unique style
and tone to a large franchise movie from an established dominant studio.
The idea that the director of a film is the guiding force behind its artistry and
technique is the Auteur Theory.
