Your semiotic thesis should be: 1) debatable; 2) not obvious; 3) not too broad, narrow or vague in its claim, and 4) be justified by textual evidence (archetypes and object-symbols).

And even better yet: Ask and answer how, why and for what purpose the story is exploring the(se) theme(s).

Here is an acceptable list of some of the short or long Science Fiction films you can use for your second semiotic essay.
