Document Summary
Convention: a practice that"s commonly done to signify or explain a particular event or feeling. However, in cache, haneke"s camera gives us both the character"s p. o. v. as well as the neutral camera: this makes the point of view extremely confusing in the film. Personal (georges) georges refuses to see anyone else"s p. o. v. and doesn"t change. Georges is so certain of his own experiences and refuses to actually see the truth about majeed, the country, etc. Through showing this, haneke shows georges" narrow-mindedness and enforces the thought of actually knowing what we see. Has to do with algeria, a former french colony. Majeed and georges have a relationship that is put besides algeria"s seeking of being its own colony: slaughter of 200 algerians in paris, 1961. Georges refers to this as an interlude in his life and causes georges" parents to adopt majeed.
