| description | This article offers an analysis of the disfiguring of the myth in the films The Reign of Fire (2002), 28 Days Laters (2002), its sequel 28 Weeks Later (2007) and Children of Men (2006). All these films use some London landmarks (Westminter Palace, Tower Bridge, Tate Modern, for example) not only to locate the plot events, but also to destroy and reconstruct the Britishness features these famous buildings represent in the West world. Thanks to semiotic notions and Freud’s ideas, the use of myths in these films shows a mirror of the era and British culture. |
