  1) What were the classic media representations of the Cold War? present the East and  West as binary opposites through codes and  conventions. The communist East is presented grey and  stark, no billboards, culture or entertainment and strict  limitations of citizens’ movements and availability of certain  foods (e.g. coffee and bananas).

 To be honest i thought that conclave (2024) was quite boring , it had an interesting idea of a plot but took to long to carry out and many subplots seemed to distract from the main plot which dragged out , However some of the camerawork and cinematography was outstanding and some shots of interior of buildings were incredible and could easily tell this was a high budget film . There was a lot of enigma codes throughout the film which kept some of the audience on edge and carry on watching but overall i didnt think the plot of the film was for me but can still appreciate the big budget large cast and great camerawork

I found the ending quite strange as cher fancied josh despite living together and disliking him for the whole film overall i thought it was an Ok film with some parts being funny and some parts feeling slightly awkward
