Having further looked into specific TV shows or films to do my essay, I have looked through film books and on the internet I have seen thats satire and relfection of soceity are talked about the most are, Charlie Chaplin films (Specifcally Modern Times and Great Dictator), Oliver Stone films (Specifically, Natural born Killers, W.), StanleyKurbrick Films like Dr Strangelove. Other films that are frequently used as example are Bonnie and Clyde, Citizen Kane and Taxi Driver.
 Telovision shows that are said are discussed the most about being satires and reflecting soceity are mainly adult animated shows like The Simpsons and South Park.

After doing research through the internet and reading notes on my case studys for film last year, I see that the most widely represented themes are law, love, poverty, woman and race. Whereas most films play satire more to media, politics andpop culture.

 I'm thinking now that rather then focusing on one topic, I would focus on a a few films or a telovsion show and all the themes they bring up and represent. As I believe this would give me more to write about and is more intresting.
