equals English Film Study.
How important as a symbol and plot device is the yellow VW van in the film Little Miss Sunshine?
Although everyone knows, even my English teacher does, that I'd much much much so much more rather do Atonement instead. Because then, I would've gotten A++ for my final year exam and get into Uni Lit.
Now I'm stuck with a dysfunctional family with an overly optimistic father, 'pro-honesty' mum, cocaine addicted grandfather, suicidal uncle, son who doesn't want to speak, and Olive - the only one considered the most sane.
Well at least it's Academy Award winning.
... :( sigh.
If only:
"The misconception of Briony is partly due to her innocence of age and jealousy towards her sister Cecilia, the most defining moment is outlined when Briony witnesses the two figures by the fountain - the turning point of the film to which she reacted in confusion, fear and amazement. Obviously from physical actions between Robbie and Cecilia, she senses a heightened sexual apprehension between them but because of her age, she has yet to grasp the understanding of the situation. Her regrets in the future cannot atone (hence, the title of the film) for the mistakes and guilt she has grant herself to commit in her past. It was revealed later in the film that Paul Marshall was the true culprit of the crime towards Lola... .... ...."
Instead, all I have is
I have never failed English and I don't wish to but how am I supposed to come up with reasons why the van matters so much! It's a yellow, sunshine-coloured van, for goodness' sake. Who cares? It bright, it's a warm colour. Social cohesion is such a lame excuse.
Oh God, I'm going to fail English.

The yellow VW van is a symbolic plot device because it represents the social cohesion of the whole family and their unity in facing their trials.
