An interpretive claim involves a more complex intellectual response than a descriptive claim. Interpretive claims present an argument about a film’s meaning and significance.
This part reminds me of when we did literary analysis in English class. I can see now that analyzing a film is kind of like analyzing a book, but with pictures, sound, and editing added in. I understand better now why making an argument about a movie’s meaning takes more thought than just describing what happens.
Of course, these statements are by no means the only interpretive claims someone might make about Mustang. There can be many interpretations of any one film, because a film can develop more than one large idea or theme
I didn’t really realize that a film could have so many different interpretations. I usually just think about the story or the characters, but this makes me see that analyzing a movie is about looking for different themes and ideas. It’s interesting to think that two people could watch the same film and see completely different meanings.
