This document discusses three thriller films - The Godfather, The Untouchables, and Scarface - that are similar to the author's main task film in their portrayal of organized crime themes like murder, theft, and corruption. The Godfather and The Untouchables create dramatic tension through their film noir style, which the author aims to achieve. Scarface is most similar due to its modern setting involving the organized crime of drugs.
2. The Godfather
• This is a crime thriller which
shares many conventions
with out main task. For
example the themes of
murder, theft and organised
crime are also portrayed in
our film as well. They also
have a certain way of
setting a tense dramatic
mood and this is what we
have tried to achieve in our
final task.
3. The Untouchables
• Another film that’s in the
film noir style. The
untouchables is again based
around organised crime and
has hints of corruption and
murder. Our film is meant to
be a modern take on the
same sort of ideas and
moralities mobsters shared
back then. Also the same
sort of tension created in
this film is similar to ours
4. Scarface
• Scarface is another film
about organised crime and
one that I think is probably
more similar to ours due to
the time at which Scarface is
set. However although
murder is involved in this
film its more to do with
drugs in the organised crime
industry still there are very
tense scenes which we can
relate to our task
