Social, cultural, historical and political contexts
Contexts of film
What you need to know
What each context means: social (society and its structure), cultural (ways of living, beliefs and values), historical (the time a film was made and, where different, the time it is set) and political.
How a film's story, characters and themes reflect the time it was made, and why a film set in the past also reflects its own time.
Examples from the set films, and how to link a context to a specific moment rather than describing it as background.
