This is Me-Harry Quilley

This is me

This is me is about the  which we associate to have some sort of meaning to us, or in media language, a syntactic code.
This theory was created by Rick Altmann.

Syntactic Codes 

Narrative Structure, Themes, Character Relations,  Binary Oppositions.

At the beginning of the shots our protagonist begins to narrate the story in a comical/sarcastic way. He explains how he is physically paralyzed from head to toe, but then lightens the mood as he jokes about his "iron lung" and how he has more tubes than the London Underground. Initially when the audience would have seen him laying in bed, pale and on a life-support machine, typically we would begin to sympathies, but as the protagonist narrates us into a joyful atmosphere, the syntactic codes initially put forward are broken. and we change the way we see and judge them as a person. The upbeat music heard as a non-diagetic background tunes through the part in which he describes his accident is also contradictory to his situation but not his mad, as it is upbeat on very happy.

The protagonist continues to be comical about his past a while ago in his back garden and how the outskirts of london are actually just the "heathrow flightpath." even though he ss paralyzed and in a hospital bed, the genre of the film would be seen as more of a dramatic piece but now it seems more of a comedy.
