Killer of SHeep

Charles, Burnett (1977)
                                                      

I chose the scene where the boys are behind the wood piece and they are playing the game throwing rocks at each other as for a game to entertain each others time.  First we have a close up shot here were we can only see the boys hands and we are not sure what is going on here yet but besides that we know he is hiding behind something and moving at the same time, also we see that things are being thrown at him.  Then we go to a wide screen establishing shot were we see that there are other boys on the other side throwing rocks and playing a game with one another

The GOOD the BAD the UGLY


Sergio Leone (1967)


This film really set up clint eastwoods characters and attitude for the rest of his career mostly thus far.  He is just always a silent yet badass character that is always is doing good though but always being ruthless and sticks up for people in most all his films he keeps a pretty constant role when acting in most of his movies.  He is always smoking a cigar and looks rough around the edges which got him into the perfect part for this specific movie, just completely conforming to the character he knows he needs to be.

Bollywood Cinema

Awara: Raj Kapoor (1951)


For me i would consider this film a musical.  Not a full on musical but there is so much singing in it, and for how obnoxious the singing is.  You almost cant ignore the music playing or the songs being sung.  Its almost overbearing, listening to them always signing.  Its just like any film that is labeled a musical, like sound of music lets say, i would say that they sang almost just about as much in both films so i would have to conclude that it is indeed a musical.  It always sounds like they are singing the same song, even though they are not, the tone sounds the same in all the songs it seems.
