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

City Of God Openening scene analysis

  City Of God Openening scene analysis Through photography, mise-en-scene, sound, and editing, City Of God conveys the concepts of disorder and anarchy in the favella to the audience. This is demonstrated in the first scene, when the gang is chasing the chicken. The first thing we see in the movie, for example, is a knife being sharpened against a stone. Knives are normally hazardous things, and the fact that it is being sharpened against a stone suggests a barbaric lifestyle: this is foreshadowing Lil Z's brutal lifestyle, which he imposes on his gang through proxy. This quickly builds suspense and makes the spectator question the characters' motives. The editing heightens the suspense by using almost whiplash-inducing, flashing cuts between the knife and the dark screen, reinforcing the sense of urgency. Normally, a barbecue would be a joyful, tranquil, and familiar sight; but, the tight camera angles and fast cuts disrupt this. The sequence cuts back and forth between sever...

 What are the first impressions of the lifestyle and nature of the family the audience gets ?  The film opens with the scenery of nature at its finest. in the woods, catching the river flowing, rocks, grass, trees and wildlife. This may give the impression of a post apocalyptic world as then the family of humans are introduced. It also could resemble a era in the past where there are no industrial places to live and it is far from the current state the audience lives in. The wide shots of the landscape captures the audiences attention as it makes it feel very natural and almost real as the audience feel emersed in the films reality, especially when the eldest son Bo attacks the deer. The impact and first impression of the family changes from the beginning of the opening scene to the endThis is seen as we go from thinking they are some sort of tribe to thinking that they're just stranded in the wild-life.  The usage of camera in this opening scene is mainly hand-held,...

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.
