Spoiler review of a thriller X3


Inception
The film Inception starts with Leonardo DiCaprio washed up on a beach, bringing immediate confusion to the film. Most scenes of this film are dark with very faint lighting bringing tension and darkness to the film. It takes away brightness and therefore eliminating joy and happiness from the scenes, which help make it tense and thrilling. Sounds in some scenes are also tense. Having fast and upbeat music creating tension does this, as you fear of something to happen. There are sounds of car crashes and tires screeching which also create the motion of fast moving cars, which are caused by frightful get-away scenes, and these tell the audience that there is drama making them feel enticed into the film and want to see the result of the drama. During dramatic scenes such as a fight or car chase the background music gradually increases and gets louder and faster, conveying that everything is becoming more dramatic and the final striking act is about to happen. There is also the often scream during these scenes which help thrill the audience because it helps them feel either pain or fear which the character is feeling. Characters are also used to create thrill and irony. Characters are dressed in formal attire, mainly suits, to show their class however the characters clothing is also ironic because they are dressed smart but are in fights with others. The characters also often have a stern look as if they are in danger, a serious situation or are prepared for a serious situation. This brings tension as it makes the audience on edge, as they do not know what will happen and they are waiting for a dramatic scene. Some scenes in the film are also shot in slow motion that brings suspense because the audience is wondering what will happen and what the outcome will be at the end of the situation.


Now you see me
Now you see me is a thriller magic film involving fights, explosions and get-away scenes. Due to the film involving magic makes the audience confused and making them think, which also means they become more involved in the film. During some scenes such as a fight scene there is as fast, high-pitched music in the background bringing tension to the film as it draws the audience by making them feel glued to the screen and want to know what is going to happen. As the fight scene comes to a close the music slows because the drama has faded. The lighting in the film also varies due to what scene is being played. Some scenes have dark lighting with bright flashing lights, which help towards thrilling the audience. This is used because the darkness means that not everything is visible and something could suddenly happen which will scare the audience, meaning they are preparing for a shock. There are also bright explosions, which also shock the audience and catch their attention as the light is so sudden. The characters also add to the effect because of their intelligence and clever ways of doing things. This makes the audience wonder what will happen next and also mean that the audience is waiting for something to happen, making the more interested in the film. The characters are also average people that have taught themselves tricks that also make the audience more involved in the film. This makes them more involved because it is as though they can do what the characters are doing and makes the film more believable. This film also has non-stop twists involved that make the audience think about everything again, keeping them involved.

Hot Fuzz:
This film successfully meets the genre of Thriller. This is because it is full of drama, actions and death. The audience also know within the film that there is a murder and are left to think who it could be throughout the film. This makes the audience think, gets them involved in the film and introduces suspense. There are multiple scenes when suspense is involved and also mystery. One of these key frames is at the church fate with the death of Tim messenger. This frame introduces suspense because it makes the audience think about what will happen and whether it will be good or bad. Most of the murder scenes are like this and create suspense and wonder. Another is at the end of the film with the battle of the police against the murders. This thrills the audience making them not want to take their eyes off the screen. The film also gives the audience an idea of who the murderer is throughout the film and when their idea is brought into the film it is then turned and discovered that their idea was not exactly what they thought it was. This twists the plot and makes the audience think even more, making them want to watch it even more and find out what happens. Overall this film was very good and was successfully thrilling and enticing to watch and scenes such as murder scenes and battle scenes helped towards this.
I would rate Hot Fuzz 4 stars out of 5 as it was very good and thrilling but I still think it could have had more drama and action.
