A perceptive and excellent analysis reflecting confident understanding of how Winsor established the generic blueprint for his film from the title sequence to opening of the film.
ReplyDeleteIf you also cover the purpose of the voice over and connotations of lighting, locations, costume and body language. The film is about a particular sub culture of gangsters operating in Essex in the early 1990's, note that the Essex accents of the character establishes social class and region.
another aspect of focus is the use of "engima". An unmarked white van (in Essex Boys) is anonymous and enigmatic.
Your comments about Jason's primitive instincts and that he pays little attention to morality or boundaries is covered splendidly in your aalysis of the essex marshes being a metaphor for Jason's moral compas.
A pleasure to read.
Correction! Ignore the "if" at the beginning ofmy 2nd paragraph in my post - a typing error. The sentence in my post should read "You also SPLENDIDLY cover the purpose of the voice over....etc. With the adjective "splendidly" indicating promising analysis.
