Different Perspective of
Apparatus Film Theory

                    Most of us doesn't know what is the general meaning of Apparatus Theory. We can't explain the different perspective of Apparatus Theory if we doesn't know the meaning of it. Apparatus Film Theory is ideological and argues that cinema maintains the dominant ideology culture within the viewers. Ideology is part of it's nature. Apparatus Theory follows an Institutional Model of Spectatorship or in the simplest way that it has a effects to the viewers. 

KARL MARX

                    According to Karl Marx that the society is capitalist. Marxist Film Theory was a capitalist, which argues that society is characterized by disagreement between social groups. Marxist Theory means that the rich/wealthy people demoted the poor people. For Marx, the poor people should have no power than to the rich one. Poor people works for those people who have a lot of money. For me, It's really unfair. Rich people should not degrade the poor people. They must help the poor people to lighten up their lives. Each people must have rights to be free. For Marx, most of the films shows how the rich people demote the poor one. 

JACQUES LACAN 

                    Jacques Lacan was a French Psychoanalyst. His perspective was distinctive from Karl Marx. Lacan called the most controversial psychoanalyst because his psychoanalytic theory is the adaptation of Sigmund Freud's principles - Unconscious Mind which are the Ego, Super Ego and Id. It means that the psychoanalytic theory of Lacan is the language that we need to understand. 

CHRISTIAN MERTZ

                    Christian Mertz was a French film theorist also a best pioneering the application of Sausurre theories of semiotics to film. It means that the signs and symbols has a different meaning and we can see it everywhere even in the cinema. He also said that the cinema is like the reality and specific language. Semiotics was the eye opener of each individual. Like what I said signs and symbols has a different meaning we should think first, we should contemplated our minds using those thing.
