  Lone Survivor 2013

  ★★★★ Rewatched 10 May 2020

  Summary 
  Great film, emotional motivation dramatic. Fee part of the action. Get to know the characters really well. 

  Specifics 
  • Starting with drama then going 3 days back. Hooks you 
  • Shows all of the other characters before the main character, creates sense of unity. 
  • Talks about a situation then plays the action side by side, when describing the opp. 
  • Not overly dramatic, more emotional. Fight scene is quite with loads of little hits. 
  • 19 minutes when loads of people talking spin around them and cut

  Darkest Hour 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2020

  Summary 
  Great film, excellent filming and learning point of never giving in and fighting until the end, even when no one believes in you. Great framing to resemble isolation.

  Love the English, rustic, non glamorous vibe. Like pesky blinders and snatch. Great English rock sound track

  Whiplash 2014

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Aug 2019

  Summary 
  Good film nothing special not much to report on 

  
  Specifics 
  Great start. Music plays on a black screen then stops
  and opens up on a powerful image through a corridor with good lighting. When music starts again the camera moves. 

  Interesting points 
  Confrontation / meeting between the two main characters at the very start is very effective. 

  Good ending because there isn’t any other way of doing it without being cheesy ... ends suddenly
