Opening scene The opening scene of Trainspotting is widely regarded to be one of the most iconic scenes in British movie history. It does a great job of showing you what to expect for the rest of the movie, jumping straight into explicit scenes. The music that plays throughout it while Renton reels off all of the things to 'choose' sets the fast pace and adds an action-based effect to the scene. We get to see all of the main characters here and one of the sub-plots of the movie (Renton trying to get off of heroin) is set. Most of the camera shots are close ups or mid shots in this scene as it is still trying to develop the characters and introduce them to the viewer. The lighting in the house is very dark and miserable. This directly contradicts the light from the previous scene of being outside, and it also contradicts the music which is still playing in the background. This creates a strange effect on the audience which makes them not too disturbed or sad by the scene, d...
Jigsaw is a movie that was released on 26th October 2017. It is a continuation of the 'Saw' franchise that recently came to an end after the seventh movie. Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig (who previously made movies such as Daybreakers and Undead), this movie falls into the Crime and Horror genres. It is a very violent movie and undoubtably has themes of gore, deranged and generally messed up. However, in correlation with this, parts of the movie focus more on the crime side. In comparison with a show like C.S.I. or N.C.I.S., there is hardly any difference between what the audience is getting at times.

The plot has some major twists in it and is well-thought of, but the main focus on the film is the game...
Timbuktu's representation of females can be perceived in different ways. The film directed by Abderrahmane Sissako in 2014 deals with social issues in middle-eastern countries. The movie can be seen as in support for women as it is arguably raising awareness about the in-just that we see in the movie. That is definitely the consensus view. There are some very strong leading female characters in the movie. Kidane's daughter, Toya, is one of the most important characters in the movie. Women do not have many rights in Mali, but as a child she is probably exempt to these. She talks to the boy that she is not supposed to talk to, she shows no fear, and she is an icon for freedom. This is shown in the last scene as she runs away into the unknown. Out of all of the intimidating characters in the movie, it is still the little girl who runs away from it all and arguably wins at the end. Also, the crazy lady who is in a few scenes is a strong representation of women. She is very b...
