How Film aspects show meaning in John. G. Avildsen's film "The Power of One".
S: In the concert scene, we hear the native South Africans sing a song in their language that was written by P.K., the main character.
E: The joyful song was lead by a native singer and the rest of the tribes sung harmoniously, whilst Doc played the piano and P.K. composed.
X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K., through the singing - brought the tribes together.
X: The purpose of this was to help show that P.K. was the mythical figure of the Rain-Maker.
X: The singing combines with long shots that also shows the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.
Y. The singing can be compared to the singing at the boxing match, as the now freed natives sing to P.K. to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.
