Straus's was an anthropologist who lived in the early 1900's. He believe that we shouldn't just look at a word in its normal definition. yet more by they way we can understand the word and its opposite, or as he called it 'Binary opposites'. An example of 'Binary opposite' is Good and evil. How in most superhero movies we have the Good guy E.G. Superman and the villain Lex Luthor. This is used in an example that Lex has always wanted superman to die so he can fulfill out his evil plan. It is the whole idea that it is good VS evil. I personally believe that Binary opposite is what makes a movie or music video is what makes it interesting. As a superman movie without Lex Luthor or any kind of evil would be boring. It would just be superman flying around for two straight long hours and i don't believe that anyone would pay £8.50 to go see that.
In my video i want to use his theory to show the binary opposite of happy and sad. Where at the start we see a man, who is in love, who is content, who is clearly happy with what he has. Then later on in the movie. After all that is taken from him we see him broken, miserable and contemplating suicide. These are the binary opposites as without that initial happiness of the woman, he never would have fallen into the spiral of miserableness and depression.
