Abstract
The subject of the research is the themes of violence, cruelty, crime and disorder represented in the dystopian films. The theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific search is provided by the fundamental humanitarian principles of anthropocentrism, poly-paradigmatics and interdisciplinarity, which serve as the basis for a comprehensive analysis of the genre and stylistic specificity of dystopia. The comprehensiveness of the obtained results is achieved by applying a number of general scientific and special methods. First of all, the study is based on the use of comparative analysis, methods of generalization and grouping, abstraction, associative mapping, classification. The scientific novelty lies in the formalization of human fears, associated with the inability to order, to civilize them and to make one's live safer. The analysis was carried out on the example of such films as "The Hunger Games", "Divergent", "Particular Opinion", "The Purge", "Mad Max: Fury Road". The article pays special attention to the disclosure of the phenomenon of the dystopian vector in contemporary cinema, which marked a new trend in the cultural sphere. Also, the analysis of filmography examines the different substances of fear. Using concrete examples of criminal dystopias, the meaning behind the demonstration of violence is uncovered. The study finds that a dystopian aesthetic of violence can conceal the failures and antagonisms of the social order in the present, as well as emphasize the anti-utopian fears of the future.
