Representation

       

            In the movie Top Gun there are many representation patterns. Two major characters in the newest film are Pete Mitchell "Maverick" and Bradley Bradshaw "rooster". There have been two Top Gun movies but the one i'm talking about is Top Gun Maverick. In the movie there is a lot of emotional appeal because maverick is grown up now and is no longer in the Air force with his partner "Goose" who has passed away but his son rooster has now joined the Air force. There are many flashbacks and emotional moments for maverick as he starts his journey again but with a younger group of kids. The original Top gun soundtrack was added into the movie during multiple parts every time there was an emotional scene. 

    In the new top gun the way they presented Rooster is a representation of construction because they put his mustache on him the same way in the original movie Goose had his. They wanted to make an emotional connection and give him a good way to connect to his dad. The audio and music also creates construction because whenever the top gun theme song comes on it's normally an important scene or they wanted to add that so original viewers have a feel of reminiscing. Having air force costumes and making scenes of them working out also adds the extra affect.

    Selection to the right audience who watched the first movie will understand the emotional appeal it has on people to watch the second one. being characters grown up and their kids is such a crazy but nostalgic feel to it. The stereotype of the "tough guy" characteristic is shown a lot through out the movies but there will always be a sense of emotion and softness between the guys and different characters throughout the movie. when Maverick ends up with penny you can finally see mavericks soft side and that he is more soft than what people think.
