Introduction

Intertextuality between the film and global politics|: 

  • The link between the movie and the reality of the cold war between USSR and United states 

Summary of the dominant discourse (IR theory) and how represented in the film:

  • Fear for each other’s: sending the spies, the Soviet had Rudolf Abel, and the Americans had Francis Powers.
  • National security: represented when the Judge wanted to kill the Soviet Spy because of the National security. The film shows how the soviet spy can destabilise the American national security
  • National interest: to keep the soviet spy Abel alive in order to exchange him with an American spy so this shows the national interest.
  • A critique of this dominant discourse using a critical discourse (a contrasting IR theory)
  • The movie is showing the American perspective, the Russians were not as much represented in the movie (just with spy Abel), in addition it is showing the power that the Americans have after the ww2.

Discussion

Critical discourse analysis of three or four main aspects of your theoretical framework

Same as in the introduction but more detailed
 

  1. Fear for each other’s: sending the spies, the Soviet had Rudolf Abel, and the Americans had Francis Powers. such as sending the spies because of the fear that they have from other states (realism believe that the world is anarchical) example of the film: the USSR had the spy Rudolf Abel, and the American had the spy Francis powers. 

  2. National security: represented when the Judge wanted to kill the Soviet Spy because of the National security. The film shows how the soviet spy can destabilise the American national security. Regarding that Mr Powers (American spy) never been loved by Americans but the Americans wanted him back, so he doesn't give information to the Russians. Meanwhile the student Pryor was not important for the American government to bring him back to America as it has nothing to do with the national security and there is no threat so the main and the most important person was the spy “Powers”s.

National interest: to keep the soviet spy Abel alive in order to exchange him with an American spy so this shows the national interest. The ongoing Cold War gives a backdrop on how unenviable Donovan’s task (the lawyer) was: the strong anti-Communist general view opted to give Abel capital punishment. However, Donovan meets the judge and demands Abel not be sentenced to death, for at some point he can be useful to swap with American spy Soviet might have in custody, rendering the judge to sentence Abel with a 30-year imprisonment. The scenario Donovan has presupposed comes into play when Francis Gary Powers, a U-2 spy pilot is shot down within the Soviet Union territory and captured in 1960. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) sends a covert message to Donovan to release Abel in exchange for Powers. As the USSR doesn’t want to admit Abel is their spy, the exchange is to take place in East Germany.

This comprises of discussing the claim made by the theory, discussing how this is represented in the film, discussing how the director is reinforcing the dominant discourse or representing a counter discourse, discuss what this critical discourse claims about global politics.     

Include examples supporting or counterposing the point from other films we have watched or discussed

Match these up with examples from global politics showing how the story being told relates to what’s happening/has happened in the world
