I have to admit, i found it quite hard to think of one media text which sums up 'my culture'; as i'm not part of an outside of University club, i don't part-take in any Sports teams: my life kind of revolves around University, Work, the Cinema and Restaurants. But i think my favourite film may just do the trick........
....... I have chosen 'Confessions of a Shop-o-holic' as the media text which sums up 'my culture'.
Rebecca is a young female redhead: as am i and we are both Journalists. In the film Rebecca treats her current job as a stepping stone to the job which she really wants. In the same way i think of uni as a stepping stone to starting my career as a Broadcast Journalist.
Family and career are of high importance to 'Rebecca'; as they are to me and 'Rebecca' has high aspirations to climb the social and professional ladder; so she can afford all the things she craves; I also have aspirtaions to climb the social and professional ladder.
All my friends and family know me as a fan of shopping and i have been labelled as a shop-o-holic many times. In a strange way i feel that shopping is part of my culture as i grew up going shopping frequently with my Mum and still do today.
Finally, the fact that 'Confessions of a Shop-o-holic' is a film can be seen as part of my culture as i go to the cinema with my boyfirend every week; sometimes more than once a week! Watching films is something i really enjoy; mainly for the idea of escapism.
So... i see the film version of 'Confessions of a Shop-o-holic' as a part of 'my culture'; because i believe aspects of my life and myself can be mirrored with the characters and storylines in the film.
