Gangster Movies

The Musical

Female Characters

- Main characters

- talk alot
- tease guys
- all very pretty

Stagecoach Convention

In my opinion yes, stagecoach does follow the conventional western. The main character is usually a guy who breaks the law for the better and characters had cowboy hats, pistols and smoking. Most of the conflicts deal with the Native Americans with very long fighting scenes. Locations consisted with real horses out on real land, also in bars.

Hong Kong

- Hong Kong is known for their intense combat fighting style

- Hong Kong created the revenge plot in movies which is used in America

- biggest effect on hollywood

- Matrix came from the kung fu movies

- Bruce lee was born in San Francisco

Rashamon vs Citizen Kane

In Citizen Kane, the point of view of the characters were very truthful, they didn't have to lie and had no point in lieing. In Rashamon's point of views, the characters lied or even added or took things away from the story, so we never got the real truth. Their themes are that humans are selfish and won't put people before themselves.

Double Indemnity

Adam says heavy weights acting, really enjoys this movie. It was hot, everything about it was great. They actors clicked together. He thought that they were cunning and agreed that their was a second type of love story.

Sam says disappointed in the movie, doesn't think it's a bad movie found the first have largely unsuspenseful and uneventful there is a different type of love triangle. Some actors wasn't up to his expectation.

I agree with Adam because I thought it was a really good movie. Even the plot was suspenseful for me, because of the narrating it made me more interested in the details of the movie.
