Shaolin soccer vs Team Puma scene
The purpose of this scene is to show the impressive skills of the Shaolin soccer team against a more experienced team and relying on appearance will be deceiving. In a structuralist interpretation of this clip is character oppositions between underdogs and a cocky richer team. This clip uses the function of creating identifiable character type to create comedy and sense of direction. The Puma team is shown making fun of the Shaolin soccer team because of their looks. The ego of the puma team is really big part as they believe themselves better than the shaolin soccer. But as the game goes on the shaolin soccer team does not let the puma team get a goal once and the puma team is shown complaining and whining about it which causes comedy .At the end the shaolin Monks win and the audience roots for them as they are the good guys of the oppositions.
They live November 4,1988
Seeing the truth scene
The purpose of this scene is to show the real truth that hides behind facades and that looking at things deeper will show more than first thought was possible. The structuralist function being done in this scene is explaining a a complicated idea into some more simple for the audience to get. The use of the glasses lets the audience and the character in the clip understand and believe a concept that is difficult to explain. The glasses in the scene show world how it actually is, instead of telling the audience which makes it easier to digest the information. If the opposing information was not show this way, the story telling would suffer.
