1.2.3. Mode of Address
A concept based out of film is the definition of mode of address. Technically, it is the way for most of filmmakers thinks about their audiences, like who they are going to be. Loosely speaking, it is the analysis on power relations between the audience and the subject of the film. Most of filmmakers also try to display the mode of address through their movies, whether the issue brought up there, is about race, superiority of one another, feminist issue or adult content whatsoever. Once the audience gets the message implicitly attached during the movie, then they can really take out of what the filmmakers are trying to tell to them. Then the audience can really communicate and involve with the text. Then generally mode of address is brought up with certain issues like gender, age, experience, social culture, class issue, and so on.
This film dwells in adult romance, so to get a chance for conflicts to be appeared in the film, the author brings up some mode of address like gender superiority and feminist. Apart of the importance for a romance film to explicitly show adult content, the gender superiority can be experienced still by the audience. As for the film, Kitty seems trying so hard to break the rules prevail in society at that time. For instance is when Walter planned to file divorce paper with infidelity reason. Kitty knows it very well that she would be humiliated if Walter really do that. That is one of things that disgust her the most. In addition, the novel provides the reader to predict Maugham‟s mode of address in context to Kitty. With the third person of point of view, it is quite hard to really get to know what is exactly inside of other characters‟ minds. Kitty tells about the entire story by herself. Then Kitty‟s decision about accepting Walter‟s proposal, refusing to even try to love Walter and making love with Charlie behind her own husband can be interpreted by the audience as a selfish decision due to disgust feeling towards social condition at that time which was too stiff. The story in the novel then feels so judgmental from Kitty‟s point of view. Then the mode of address that appears between the film and the audience is feminist issue. Deep inside of her, she disgusts the rules prevail in society at that time where everyone seemed over-dramatize her for if Walter really divorced her with that kind of reason and she was okay with that. Society seemed being too judgmental in taking infidelity‟s case and in understanding a woman‟s decision to postpone her marriage plan until 30-something. Imagine watching this movie as an advertisement, the first impression would be unrequited love, in which most of the audiences would have experienced it. Thus, it makes the mode of address constructed well. |
