colors, symbols, gestures, sounds, and fashion. The meaning of signs can differ

semiotic system in the film is the signs that describe something. The signs used in
the film give a message to the audience, and each signal received will be different.
The mother figure plays a very important role. Mothers can direct, determine, and
protect their children. A mother can also convey feelings of guard, and comfort,
and become a place to lean on for her children
