How so?

Fear of tech, y2k, nuclear weapons.

Can't you pick a better topic for your essay?

Do your own fucking homework

Matrix, AI

You really don't need good examples, just need to xplain yourself well. Titanic could be seen as showing the anxieties of the failures of technology and human hubris in the face of an unfeeling natural world.
Waterworld could be anxieties over the ozone layer and global warming showing through the film. The Matrix and the fear becoming slaves to our own technology and so on and so on.

Spawn
Fear of going to Hell

Phantom Menace
Being in Hell

I'm afraid I do need examples as the question is based around CGI and cultural anxieties. Struggling to think of examples

That quick cg shot of the check in lady turning into a yellow eel in fear and loathing in las vegas. Also when the carpets are moving. It's pure anxiety because they are on acid

Alien invasion and the end of the world.

Cultural anxieties are something that I would assume are a collective anxiety like global warming. Waterworld seems like a good link. Don't know which scene would be relevant

CGI represents the anxiety of over perfection. In the 90s CGI appeared to be a feasible way to reach some form of cinematic perfection, circumventing clumsy analog effects. I argue that it is precisely these small flaws in the analog mode that allow for a more true experience than the hyper realism of CGI. In psychoanalytic theory there is a concept known as object-cause-of-desire. The small flaws existing in the analog method allow for the illusion of perfection that cannot exist with CGI. So the anxiety arises when CGI is used in an attempt to create a more perfect product, but simultaneously destroys what made the original so good.

not sure how much cgi it had but I remember contagion reflecting on people's fear of west nile virus, sars, swine flu, etc.
