gave a little more info on what I'm looking for, and what would constitute a valid answer. I'll certainly be doing an answer on the Greek mythology/drama themes, and hope others will write about the alternate themes.

| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:42 | comment | added | DukeZhou | @NapoleonWilson analysis is a good blanket term, although "theme" could be useful in discussing things like genres. Maybe let's see if this garners downvotes, and if so, I'll self-delete? | |

Uh...well, there is the analysis tag for exactly that actually. A genuine themes tag on top of that seems a little...pointless. The site is absolutely not moving away form the literary context and I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding my critique on your question here. I'm not in any way criticizing the effort of looking for themes in this film, merely the way in which you're going about it specifically. There's...also no need to threaten with going to other places which would be "more suitable". Anylsis of a film's themes is definitely suitable here.

| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:39 | comment | added | DukeZhou | @NapoleonWilson wondering if Lit might actually be the more suitable stack? | |
| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:38 | comment | added | DukeZhou | @NapoleonWilson Yeah, I noticed there were no extant theme and symbolism tags, but most of my popular answers have been about theme and symbols. (It the site is moving away from the literary context, I'll withdraw the question.) | |
| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:37 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | The Stack Exchange system can be used for blog posts to some degree (and that's pretty much exactly what you're going to write here), but I'm afraid we're still bound to the Q&A format of SE. We can't replace film school or a proper blog, though. | |
| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:34 | comment | added | DukeZhou | @NapoleonWilson Film school 101 they'll ask "What are the major themes of Shane?" And, by making it a QA, it opens the door for people who may have noticed things I haven't. | |
| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:32 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | So...if all you need is a proper question to share your interesting analysis with the world, I'm sure you might be able to find a better way to come up with that question and its answer in unison. | |
| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:31 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | The problem is, as broad an unspecific as the question is, it pretty much exactly feels like a platform for an answer only you really know how to give, since noone else knows what kind of answer you're looking for here. So..that "chance" isn't really worth much. Your analysis is sure appreciated, and even writing questions solely for providing your own answer is appreciated (hell, there's even the option to provide the answer right away, there's no need to wait for anyone). But...among all this we still have to make an effort to ask somewhat of a coherent and self-contained question. | |
| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:28 | comment | added | DukeZhou | I'll actually come back and provide a detailed analysis of the themes and symbols if this doesn't garner a sufficient answer. (It's a highly complex and relevant film.) But I wanted to give other people a chance to weigh in first. | |

| Dec 22, 2018 at 23:24 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | I'm afraid this might be a little broad. What kind of "themes" are you even looking for? I'm sure there's a ton of themes in it, like there are in any reasonably coherent film, but it's a little unclear what specifically you're looking for here. | |
