Binary Opposition

So this time we got Binary Opposition! Far better than the other terms!! Well I really loved the fact that Philip gave us:  Good/ Evil,, God/Devil,, Go(o)d/ (D)evil!! Interesting and very deep meaning!!

During the seminar Danny gave us the examples of The Dark Knight, Aliens, and Contact. Well I couldn’t actually relate the example of contact with binary opposition, but surely I could interpret a nice example from dark Knight!


This coin that Harvey Dent used all the time to make some of his very important decisions! He had two options to choose from, one totally opposite to the other! Like in this shot he is threatening the joker that if he gets this side of coin, he’ll live and if it’s the other side he’ll die! Two completely opposite situations!!

Now coming on cyborgs!! Danny showed us a clip from Aliens 2, when Sigourney Weaver, Ripley tried to kill the mother alien with that man-controlled machine! Well it can act as a Cyborg thing but in a positive way!! We can see the fight between humans and some sort of alien species! Two totally different forms of life.
