Bonnie and Clyde was an entertaining movie about a man who picks up a woman and they lead a life of robbing banks. His brother and sister in law, and a random mechanic join them on the way. They move across the nation together stealing money from banks and cars from people. At the end they find refuge in CW Moss's fathers house, where his father is upset at him for bringing these criminals to his home. The father has a meeting with the sheriff and plans the murder of Bonnie and Clyde ending the movie.

This movie was entertaining and fun despite the heavy content. I found it almost comical how much they didn't really seem to know what they were doing but always got away with the bank robberies. The dynamics between the characters were funny and easy for me to relate to. Just about everyone has that one person they cant stand, the one thats just there, and the one you love.

The Godfather

In the Godfather, the opening scene starts at his daughters wedding. The Godfather is approached with a favor by Jonny who ask's for aid of his drug trafficing from the Don's connections. This offer was ignored and in turn the Don is shot and barely recovers. Eventually the Don's son Michael is the one who has to take over the family business. He prepares for this position and once he does he is the head of the family and the new Don who gets revenge on all the people who killed his family.

In the last clip you see all the murder clips being flashed. You see Al Pachino in the church, stepping into the role of family man and protector, then you see all these murder scenes and that was him stepping into the dichotomy of on the one hand who he wanted to be and on the other hand who he becomes. There is a contrast being displayed through the display of the two different clips showing the two sides of this man showing him murdering his rivals ruthlessly.There is nothing noble about the angles choosen to show this man murdering these people. It is just barbaric. The constant dark lighting on the whole film is a reflection of the dark path that he has chosen. The straight on shots of the camera shows the straight on selfishness given free reign. The murders in daylight shows the honestness of his brutality.

*I had to cool off for a few days before I wrote this.

Do the right thing was a movie highlighting racial prejudice and human morality. Mookie was an african american living in brooklyn working for an italian family owned restaurant. The movie was slow to start and mostly showed Mookie in his current life, his girlfriend, son, and job. It finally picked up at the end when an african american is killed by a police man as a response to a previous fight. This causes a riot and in turn the African Americans end up burning down the Italian shop.

The color effects in this movie was what hit me the most. The yellow tones and the warm feel of the hues in Do the right thing really put a realness to the portrayed heat. The way the light poured into the mans bedroom and right on his bed in the opening scene was effective to me because thats when i feel heat the most, sweating in bed.

The next thing that i thought was portrayed very well was the angle from which they showed Radio. By positioning the camera low and angling it up at him it gave the impression that he was giant and powerful and persuasive. This was important because of the end of the movie. His death seemed more drastic to such a minimal character.
