Sociological Analysis Of The Movie Cloudy
The movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, picks up after the calamitous food storm that happed in the first film. (Flint Lockwood creates the Flint Lockwood’s Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicatior or the FLDSMDFR; a machine that turns water into food. Which later goes rogue and is destroyed or so Flint believed) Chester V, Flints childhood idol, then arrives to inform them, everyone in the island, that the will be relocated, so the thinkquananuts can ‘clean up the mess’. During which he is actually trying to find the FLDSMDFR to no avail.
Chester invites Flint to work at Live Corps. During this time you can observe social interaction. For example, while entering the company there’s scientists playing volleyball, and they’re not good at it; it’s pretty stereotypical- ‘nerds can play sports’. While in the company Flint attempts to become a thinkquanaut which would’ve been an achieved status (if he had succeeded). While Barb (Chester’s ‘monkey’ that is actually an ape, but Chester doesn’t care) shows Flint and Steve (the actual monkey) around the company social networks are …show more content…
Long story short the FLDSMDFR ends up in the hands of … CHESTER! When he takes control of the machine which was atop of a rock candy mountain he pushes Flint of the mountain. This could have killed him if it hadn’t been for the marshmallow animals – this to me is deviance. Global Stratification is observed when the thinkquanauts pretty much enslave the foodnimals.
Chester later revels that he was planning on killing the foodnimals ( is it really any different from killing regular animals- I don’t see the big deal, but their special cause they’re CUTE) this could be considered deviance as well if you’re a vegetarian.
In the credits it shows that they (we the people or at least the people in the movie) are assimilating the foodnimals to the human culture by taking them to school
