no country for old men character profiles



Anton Chigurh

Anton is a evil character , he comes across as cold and heartless as he does not care about killing a mass amount of people. Additionally, he is portrayed as out of place to his surrounding ,he is very different to other characters because he seems un- human like due to being remorseless and only cares about what he is doing at that moment in time rather than past or future. Anton has a inexpressive dialect, which emphasize that he is an evil character.


Llewellyn Ross

He plays a good and bad character ,however he is no where near the level of Anton, this because he is willing to kill Anton ,which why he bought a new gun but also had already had a shoot out with him, although his not evil because he hasn't killed anyone and went back to the dessert to give someone water. Llewellyn comes across as selfish as he chooses to save the money then his own life but also puts his wife life in danger.

Sheriff

The Sheriff is a old wise man , who plays a very good character but hasn't been shown doing much, this could be because he doesn't understand modern crime , this is emphasized by a speech in the beginning about crime before. However , we do see him try to save Llewellyn but is too late, this shows that he is kind hearted.

The film is based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh; the film was released in the United Kingdom on 23 February 1996. In the opening scene of trainspotting we see Renton and spud running down the road, the camera movement and music merge together to match the action on screen. The music immediately starts playing once we see a low angled shot of our characters feet; this could link to how upbeat the characters lifestyle in their opinion. Furthermore when we see the car hit Renton is could be double meaning as throughout the narrative he talks about having a career, so, the car could signify the barrier of drug addiction that stops him having all the stuff mentioned. the positioning of the two characters could suggest that Renton is alwa...

pans labyrinth and film form- summer work

Pan's labyrinth uses film form to portray messages to the audience in many ways, it also adds effect to the most simplest devices used in film. In the opening scene of Pan's labyrinth the sound of the breathing is non-diegetic this is done to emphasise the significance of the event which has occured. To add to this the sound then turns to a diegetic sound, this allows tension to build within the audience as it creates a sense of mystery, which is then solved by the sound changing to diegetic. The cinematography in Pan's labyrinth conveys particular messages about the character and setting. For example, a low-angled shot is used to suggest the character is at rock bottom and to suggest she has little life left to live. Additionally, the camera then tilts and a panning shot is used to go into her eye. The tilt in the shot suggest that something is not unusual and the idea of the camera going into her eye may suggest that she is imagining the events to come. To add to,d...

buster keaton

Buster Keaton: One Week, The Scarecrow, The High Sign, Cops Buster Keaton tends to use long shots to encourage the audience to look around the frame to see the joke, they allow an appreciation of the gag. Close ups usually follow up from this to show the characters reaction. He also tends to shoot face on so he is centre of attention. Keaton does this to highlight the idea that he is the joke and considered a clown; this tends to follow through on most films. In Cops there is a scene where Keaton is depicted in the foreground trying to take nap, a deep focus is used to show us that the city is unfurling in the background. Yet again Keaton is placed in the middle of the frame, this allows the audience to see how interacts with the chaotic and mechanical world. This is a very iconic use of cinematography for Keaton, as he tends to prefer to get everything in one frame, this is because editing in the 20s was considered as deceiving the audience. The sets used in Buster Keaton...
