Analysis Of Film Openings

Children of Men

This was the first film that we watched in class, and the first 4 minutes was the protagonist walking into the cafe and he sees everyone watching the news. The big news was that the youngest person died at the age of 18. So he walk through the crowd gets his coffee walks out then the cafe blows and you see a women walking out with her arm in her arm. the thing that made me want to wath the film more because i wanted to find out who blew up the cafe.

Memento

This is a film that goes backwards because it tells the story from the end. They also use black and white to show the present time and what he is thinking. the thing that makes this film a thriller is that they are both partners and yet one kills the other. That is what the stroy line is based on, this film also has a inigma. the thing that makes the audience want to keep watching is that at one point it says on the picture that "Teddy killed his wife".

The history of Violence

From the beggining of this film it looks normal, the two that are having a conversation sounded normal. There was no urgency in there voice. But then one goes away for a breif moment then comes back sending the other guy for water, then we discoverd that these two are murderers and one of them killes a little girl showing how heartless they are. This makes the audience want to watch more because they want to find out why they killed the people in the motel.
