Levi Strauss - Binary Opposition

Levi Strauss is an anthropologist who invented a theory called the Binary Opposition. The Binary opposition is where 2 opposites battles with each other such as good vs evil. The theory Binary Opposition is used by directors of movies a lot to create a storyline with in the movie for example in Dark Knight there was the hero which was the Batman and the Joker who was the villian. Furthermore in the perspective of a psychological thriller movie the binary opposition could be 'mind vs body' which like the psychological thriller movie Silence of the lamb which is illustrated this binary opposition with the antagonist thinking and believing he is a woman so he battles his body to force this female appearance and gets rid of the male appearance.

Levi Strauss's theory (Binary Opposition) can easily relate to our movie due to the fact that oppositons will be battling each other for example it's mind vs body, good vs evil, past vs future and Decisive vs indecisive.                                        

I agree with the fact that every movie or tv dramas consists with a binary opposite  such as downtown abbey is rich vs poor. In some films the binary opposition is not always easy to pick out due to the complexity of the narrative within the film.
