Shaolin Soccer (2001)
The purpose of this scene is to show the audience, that no matter how good the quality is of a team's outfits is or how they show up to play a match does not have anything to do with their playing skills on the field. Structurally, there is a binary opposition between strong vs. weak. This is because of the Puma team appearing to strong, cocky, and prepared to win while the other team appearing to be weak, unprepared, and poor skills overall. Also, to create compelling narratives is a function in the clip because a main problem is the puma team thought they were going to win just off of their team looking better and more put together than the shaolin team.
They Live (1988)
The purpose of this scene is to show the audience that the main character (Nada) is being able to witness what the world is really compared to what it just appears to be seen as from other people in the world just by a pair of glasses. Structurally, there is a binary opposition between truth vs. lie because of whenever the glasses were put on it would tell the truth about life and the things around him, but without the glasses on the surrounding would be like a cover up of the truth (when glass is off). Also, to create identifiable character types is a function in the clip because as he would look at certain things the audience would see his point of for instance, when he would look at the guy that appeared as a skeleton when the glasses were on, which showed his POV many times of the guy.
