Prisoners
One of my favourite movies I have recently watched is Prisoners . This film interested me by its title as well as by a small review written about it . I found dissapearance of two little girls really interesting and exiting , so decided to watch it .
The plot focuses on Keller Dovers daughter and her friend who go missing and both families call the police . Brother of one of the girls says that they saw an unknown car , parked on the street not far away from their house . The police find the car and the man inside who is mentally challenged . Keller tells the detective to keep him locked up so they can work on him . But he says that without more evidence they have to let him go . Keller doesnt want to wait and takes matters into his own hands as he is desperate to find his daughter and protect his family . He does everything what he only can to find out where his daughter is and that man who is mentally challenged becomes a prisoner , but is he mentally ill ? I find it very interesting when you dont know who is actually the evil in the film till the end . This made me want to watch this film till the very end .
When I started to watch it the first couple of minutes were very interesting but still you couldnt understand what really was going on . At first , you only see that the boy and his dad are in the forest and are about to shoot an animal . I found one very interesting thing that his dad was praying . It was quite unusual to hear because we know that usually people pray in church or at home but not when they are about to kill an animal . Was it his hobby or they had nothing to eat so thats why they had to kill no one really knows in the first two minutes but when you see their cloths you understand that they are not poor and live in a normal family .
The combination of music and praying was a good thing to do in a film like that . It really makes the audience think about the future of the film . In reference about the liting then I think that it was very appropriate to use dull lights because it created a certain mood and atmosphere in the film . A good contrast as snow and blood . Because when they shooted an animal you started to understand that maybe this animal is not the last one who they are going to kill . The title was also very effective because they used black fone and capital white letters . Music was also effective and helpful to show what kind of genre this film is .
In geneal , I think that music play a very important part in the whole movie . If we start talking about the way that they used low shots and high shots makes us feel when we need to focus in the film and when we can have a minute of rest .



Well done, Angela - a really good first post. You're beginning to make some analysis and you should, for this task, refer to why this is your favourite film. Your blog is looking lovely.
