movie analysis - Hotel Transylvania

                               METAPHOR ------>   MONSTERDOM VS HUMANDOM

Hotel transylvania is full of lines with the double meaning elasticity to serve the film's flexible metaphor , equating monsterdom with "'US' .  There are several metaphors used in this movie , however looking into a few , for instance we see ''  are these monsters going to kill me ?'' a quivering jonathan asks the Count . '' Not as long as they think you are a monster '' thats kind of racist .''

or if  we look at this , ''  Mavis ( the dracula's daughter )  could never be with someone of his kind .''  the dracula says that while his in a hot jaccuzzi with his fellows.

 Also if we look at when the dracula  fights for his daughter's happiness , where he gets a glimpse of   twilight '' This is how they represent us ?''   

In brief ,  Segregation is seen in this movie, xenophobia . there is this strong hatred for a certain community because of one reason . shows how one community is going against the other. how they isolate themselves and also do not wish any outsiders to come near to where they live.  but when an outsider ( the human as shown in the movie) walks in their neighbourhood the dracula gets panicked and wants him to leave straight away. 

However the drac figures out that the human isnt harmful as he thought , and he lets him stay for his daughter's birthday party , where he gets close to his daughter and also  the other monsters that are there. eventually , things take a turn , truth is spilled out. 

This is another century , different people, new thinking , new beliefs . but the drac doesnt know that , and thats why he says '' its taking my soul away'' when the young guy plugs earphones on him and plays a song.

To put it in short,  one experience doesnt mean everything will be the same all the time. things change  , people change accordingly .
