OPTIC- Pride of Baghdad

OPTIC

O: This is the part when Fajer the bear fights Zill the male lion and gets its nose ripped off by Zill and falls out of the palace to the ground. Then, the horses which Ali the baby lion chased runs over the bear and kills it. After this scene, they see the horizon and along with the view of the horizon, they get shot by an American soldier and meet their death. First, Zill the lion dies and after that Safa tells the other two lions to run away and gets shot by pretending/trying to attack the American soldiers. Right after Safa dies, Ali and Noor gets shot too by the Americans.

P: This frame shows when the bear Fajer is getting stomped by the horses which were intending to run away from the baby lion Ali. In terms of color, I see that since the horse it white it shows pureness and peace and that the bear is black which shows evil. So, this scene is like seeing peace and pure stomping and winning over the evil. Also it shows that lots of weak but pure beings and beat a single strong but evil being.

T: There is no text in this specific frame.

I: Since there is no text, there is no relationship between the text and the image. The image itself could have been a message. As said above, the message might be the pureness and peace stomping and getting rid of the dark and evil. Also, it might be a message saying lots of weak ‘good’ can win over the strong ‘bad’. I think this part is one of the climax parts according to the plot because this part is when the evil dies which is considered a climax in most stories. In one’s opinion, the other climax is when the lions are killed and the soldier said that they are not wild and that they are free.

C: To sum up, this frame is when the two female lions went into the palace and met this big bear called Fajer and tried to kill him but failed. The consequences were that Safa became blind completely. Then, Zill appeared and ripped this nose off and pushed him out of the palace onto the ground. After that Ali chased the horses towards where Fajer was and the horses stomped over Fajer which caused him to die. The he was getting stomped was the frame and in that frame though there was no picture it was telling a message that pure and peace wins the evil and lots of weak, pure and peaceful beings beats the one strong and evil being.
