Nosedive quotes

Question 1

The scene where Lacy is dropped at the side of the road

Answer 1

Symbolism- cars (which represent conformity) driving away
Joe Wright has deliberately combined these techniques to demoralise how we should feel about conformity. For Lacy, not conforming is the worst possible situation to imagine.

Question 2

The scene where Lacy’s flight is cancelled.

Answer 2

Low shot- suggests out-of-power/control
Joe Wright has deliberately used these techniques to show how closely we are judged by society. Being judged is horrible for Lacy.

Question 3

In the scene where Lacy is at the coffee shop and everyone’s on their phones ‘rating’ everyone

Answer 3

Mid shot- that Lacey is an outlier and everyone else is conforming
Joe Wright has deliberately used these techniques to show how everyone in society is self-absorbed with their own appearance for their rating.
