Mapping Talentime by Yasmin Ahmad Analysis

 

As mentioned in the reading and discussed in the lecture, film scholar Dudley Andrew proposes that we look at world cinema in terms of multiple overlapping “maps”: political, demographic, linguistic, orientation, and topographical. How can these terms allow us to see Talentime from different angles?

Choose two of Andrew’s maps, and discuss how they give us different national or transnational views of Talentime. Your response should address specific elements, scenes, or characters in the film. You will be graded based on not just how well you connect the “maps” to the film, but also how you demonstrate the significance of using different maps to view the same film.
