‘Thor’ film concept analysis

The concept of Thor is about a Viking god who gets his powers taken away from his father, however he then goes back to real life and manages to save people’s lives and becomes a hero of the real world. The inspirations for ‘Thor’ come from the film ‘300’ as they are both similar in terms of costumes and colours as well as characters behaviours. The film ‘300’ also involves Viking characters and behaviours which influenced ‘Thor’. The Narratemes of this film is that a hero is tested for his power and he leaves home and a superhero is born. These narratemes help to establish the whole film as well as engage the interest of the audience as they may link to real life. The unique selling point of ‘Thor’ is the ancient setting and as the film is about Viking superpowers and a superhero who manages to save everyone it interests the audience into wanting to find out what happens to him and whether he does actually get his powers back or if they were permanently taken away from him. The film could really be of great interest to those who enjoy past life and Vikings as well as superheros and villains.  Also the film could engage those who have a love interest and like films which involve a relationship, 'Thor' has this as the hero falls in love with a woman.
