Final analysis of Magazine front cover

Due date

I was unable to find a magazine with the film Due Date as its front cover but i found a picture within a double page spread which i can analyse


This is a very different picture to the one used in the poster, first of all we see Zack portraying to be the dominant character unlike him on the poster. His is very close to literally standing on Robert Downey Jr in this picture. He is sitting in the center of the photo arms by his side, which can reiterate my point about him being dominant. We see Robert on the floor at his knees which can be a sign to see within the film. Robert is at Zacks throughout the film. At his will. His eyes can tell us that he is being forced, dragged down by Zack within the film perhaps emotionally and physically wearing at him. This is a great represented to their characters within the film. Robert is supposed to be seen as the more dominant character, controls situation and makes the plans and ideas. This is trying to tell us through out the film Zack has being pulling him down with him, slowly wearing his thin until Zack is on top of him and in control ( shown on the picture).
The fact that Robert has his hands in a claw shape can tell us that Zack has him down like an animal. Perhaps he has replaced the dog thats in Zacks hands. Lying on the floor.
