@MaxBarnes654528 I feel like the focus on the car specifically was meant to indicate the goal. It was a brief achievement, but the longer the shot seemed to indicate the larger the importance. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

@Roryyy_A That is very true. I cannot recall seeing too many of these frames in American-made films, so from what's assumed, it's a Southern-Korean style. #smc355

In scene 48:35, the woman is seen leaning over and sniffing a flower. The take lasts a few seconds of this happening, but shows that she is at her calmest when embracing nature and beauty, rather than just being around other people. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

In scene 42:01, a man is sitting across the woman with a lemonade glass in front of him, while a cup of tea is in front of the woman This scene is mean t to indicate the differences that the two characters have. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

In scene 1:17:51, the main character is lying on the sand while a man is seen standing over her. This scene is meant to indicate the message that despite people standing at rock bottom, life will continue to go on. #smc355

@SofiaMastroian6 This movie gives a new perspective of what it's like for humans to be hunted, as people do not want to imagine what it is like for fish to be captured, imprisoned, and then eaten up eventually. That was the case for the captured daughter. #smc355

@lucygoosey317 Good point! The bright light contrasting with their darker setting tone brings forth the theme of unpredictability. Unpredictability is one of the scariest themes that horror films lean toward, as they put audience members on edge. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

In the shot 1:07:58, there is a scene where a bunch of people are dressed in business outfits, wearing masks, and looking at a TV above. What this indicates is the attempt that the civilization has to proceed through daily life normally, despite the monster and virus. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

At 40:42, there is a scene with four men standing next to each other, and a wall of metal trash serving as a backdrop. This shot creates a vibe that the protagonists are still at a level of rock bottom. Despite escaping the hospital, they had to hide from the police. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

The shot 12:27 shows the creature hanging on a bridge but also doesn't show any of the peoples' heads to indicate it's a point-of-view shot. It works really well by creating a realistic perspective of a horror film, by showing a threat a mile away before it attacks. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

@jadeincinema I would predict that the director of the film clashed with several other people who were also involved with the project, and then inserted it as a form of anger. He would fill his emotions up into the three detectives of the film, and have them argue with each other. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

@miller_bry18625 That is true, especially when it involves a conflict resolution between the director and the head writer of a film. Or a team of writers. I feel like resolutions especially work well when both parties respect each others' work. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

...from their actions? #smc355

"Directors. even auteurs, do not always run true to form, and the critic can never assume that a bad director will always make a bad film" (452 Sarris). In most films, directors can interfere with the writing process. Have there been any good films made, resulting... #smc355

...vision of commercial films? Also, did micromanagement contribute to these problems? #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

"In the case of a commercial oil, though, I have realistic constraints such as the interests of the investors, the casting, marketing and so forth" (Joon-ho 29). This quote made me wonder how the realistic constraints impact the creative process and artistic... #smc355

"In contrast, I deliberately pushed to shoot Memories of Murder with heavy emotions. Of course, I had thought of making an immense anger" (Joon-ho 35). 2 forms of grieving after death include anger & sadness. 1 question I have is if there is also a great amount of sadness #smc355

Also, the club cart being put by the front eliminates any lack of importance for the other carts with more important necessities for survival, meaning that Wilfred has a lack of care for the lives of everyone. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

In scene 47:35, the train that everyone is on is seen crashing into glaciers on the track, nearly falling off the rails. What this scene symbolizes is the lack of perfection that the train has, despite people leaning onto it for survival, as everyone could have died. #smc355

[Jared Thomas @JatRed33]

In scene 1:24:23, the train cart club is shown. The club, from what I perceived, defined the entire purpose of the train, to distract people from the beautiful world outside the train, and also distract the partygoers from the fact people at the tailgate were surviving #smc355
