For this task I have been asked to create a blog, which
critically analyse a film of my choice, I will select an appropriate film for
analysis, watch films critically whilst taking notes, analyse genre
characteristics, analyse narrative structures, analyse representation of
characters and create the blog.
The film I have chosen for my analysis is Fast and Furious 5. This is a short trailer for the film.
There are a a selection of different car sounds in Fast Five. Including the Lexus LFA, Koenigsegg ccxr, Porsche GT3 RS a Dodge Challenger and much more.
There are various soundtracks for Fast Five, which director Justin Lin picked himself as he thought they worked well with the style of the movie.
Danza Kuduro – Don Omar featuring Lucenzo,
Fast Five Suite – Brian Tyler
How We Roll (Fast Five Remix)- Don Omar, Busta Rhymes, Reek da Villian and J-doe.
The basic meaning we can achieve from the film is that a group of racers try robbing a wealthy drug lord in Rio de Janeiro whilst being pursued by Luke Hobbs an officer of the U.S Diplomatic Security Service.
When we look at the iconography of the film, as it is set in Rio de Janeiro we expect the weather to be hot, and we can expect the characters to be wearing t-shirts. We can also expect the film to include scenes of Christ de Janeiro, a beach and a favela, even if this is just a simple panning shot.
I have concluded that Justin Lin has kept the Fast and Furious 5 narrative simple, modern and well-placed I believe this film has an open narrative as at the end of the film we appear to get a short scene after the credits, telling the audience that Letty, Dom's girlfriend is still alive. This ending to the film leaves the fans asking questions and expecting a sequel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQOfiLVHFrY
There are various stereotypes in Fast 5 including the hero look, Dom and Brain pull off, we also have Luke Hobbs the special officer, with a gun holder strapped to his leg, we also have the classic look of a cigar smoking, suit wearing, James Bond villain.
I think this film has targeted their audience perfectly, I believe the audience targeted are petrol-head teenagers and action lovers, who are interested in fast and loud sports cars.
The genre of Fast and Furious Five is extremely important, even though Justin Lin has faded away from the street racing action genre, he has stuck with the action genre and has made the storyline have more depth and meaning, with all our favourite Fast and Furious hero's getting involved in a massive heist worth one hundred million dollars.
In conclusion I enjoyed watching this film as I am interested in cars. I would happily watch this again, even someone who wasn't interested in cars but liked the action genre would enjoy this film as the protagonists are planning a heist to become rich, which will take some clever planning.
Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the
opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of
custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now
backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in
order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top
racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good
means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead.
