Assess the value that the International Standards Organization (ISO) provides CIOs, regardless of the industry in which the company is engaged. Explain whether adherence to the standards is essential to overall security management.

A Matter of Life and Death’ is a transitional film. Released after the war, it mixes an idealised and happily resolved wartime romance with spectacular shifts between heaven and earth, parading fantasy elements rich in visual inventiveness. (The British Cinema Book, p. 240-246)
A phrase that intrigues me is how Moor writes ‘happily solved wartime romance’, as in my opinion, the relationship between fantasy and war is one of the key elements of the film. World War II was one of, if not the biggest event in British history. How it is remembered is by people is often quite a common split. People who fought the battles on the front lines and back in Britain remember the war as either the boldest time of their lives, or the most brutal times of their lives, a split between those who were patriotic and those who could not forget the horrors of war. A Matter of Life and Death addresses the more patriotic side of the war through fantasy. All the soldiers who fought in the war for Britain get to go to heaven. For example, in heaven British, American, French and Indian soldiers are found collecting their white wings and taking part in court trials. Whereas no German, Russian or Italian soldiers can be seen. The film uses fantasy to subtly put across communal views of post-war Britain to mass audiences. This convinces the people of Britain that war was a good thing, and that all those that were lost got to go to heaven for serving their country. Powell and Pressburger represented the communities of Britain to be strong and united after the war, not weak or scared. Ashby and Higson talk about the age of British war cinema, and how the effects of films such as A Matter of Life and Death bought audiences together through the art of film;

Not only was it the period when the cinema as a social institution was at its most popular, but it was also a time when British films found greater success with both critics and audiences than ever before (
