What was the three major themes of movies? Explain each theme.

1. Conformity/Corporationism included housing. Levitt, an actor, built barriers during the war in a movie. In many movies during this time, Jews were not allowed in houses, the houses all looked the same, and every fourth house was a different color.
2. Paranoia consisted of the consensus which became huge after WWII. One such paranoia movie was "The Man in the Great Flamel Suit." Paranoia movies were mostly black and white, had odd camera angles, dimly lit locations, stark contrast between light and dark, voice over narration, flashbacks, dark theme plots, toxic blondes, anti-heroes, and ambiguous endings. 3.
