No country for old men, ending questions - David

 Do you find the ending of the film to be satisfying resolution ?  Why ?

I do find the ending to be satisfying, as i feel like the ending was very different and took a different turn from other movies in general or movies of this genre.

One main difference was the fact that the main character Llewellyn Moss died when the film was building up to one big final duel between him and Anton Chigurh however, moss died off screen by people not even related to Chigurh and it was very anti climatic.

As well as this happening, there was another difference, because this death should of led to Sheriff En Tom bell taking over as the main hero figure. However, he didn't and he decided to step down from being in the law. This was because all this .new wave' of crime wasn't suited to him

January Mock Exam Question 2021

Question ' The director is the most important creative influence on the production and content of a film '.     How far do you agree with this statement when applied to both of your chosen films ?   Films chosen: -Casablanca -Apocalypse now  Answer: I somewhat agree with this statement as Directors are seen as the lead role off-camera when a movie is in production. Michael Curtz (Director of Casablanca) and Francis Ford Coppola (Director of Appocolypse now) are the main reasons why both of the films recieved the attention and criticism it deserved.  An introduction to this point is the era of film making, 'new hollywood'. Links to our point as one of the most controversial films out of the 2 chosen was made in the middle of this era; Apocalypse Now (1979). In fact this film was released 1 year before 'New Hollywood' started to end, however it was in production for 3 years and it was set to release on Coppola's 38th birthday, April 7 1977. Compared to this, ...

CONNECT SHORT FILM ANALYSIS - JULIAN

Connect explores how imagination and emotion binds in with the real life, one major factor that shows this is when the camera shows all of the civilians faces on the bus by uing close hand held shots. When the camera zooms in on their faces they look emotionless, almost as if they are disjointed from reality, from the real world. This could be because they are imagining certain things and feeeling emotion on the inside. When the girl puts in her headphones as the music fades in she also zones out and starts imagining things primarily being shown that as soon as she zones out all of a sudden the businessman assassinates the old lady to take her seat, but then the girl zones back in so the music is stopped and the scenery is back to normal.
