Mirrors - directed by Alexandre Aja
               (2008)
The trailer starts with a dad telling his son happy birthday before going to work as a security guard at a closed department
store. He is then told that the man who worked there before him was obsessed with the mirrors. It the shows the companies
title then goes back to the department store at night. It then shows him stood with his back to a mirror where we then see his
reflection turn around but not him. The trailer then shows different shots of around the department store with a crying noise
and him shouting is anybody there, it then cuts to him looking in the mirror and a handprint appears then the mirror cracks.
Then shows him researching the man who used to work there then cuts back to a locker scene where a man is looking in a
mirror which then cracks. A piece of glass falls out and when he bends down to get it his reflection watches him, he is then made
to kill himself. Then cuts back to the night guard telling his wife he is seeing things them jumps to a shot of a girl moving her
head abnormally then shoots back to the nightguard. Then shows shots of him with a distorted face looking in the mirror. Then
cuts to the little boy’s room while he talks to the mirror and his reflection stays still when he moves. Then shows shots of other
people the main character talks to looking into mirrors while their reflections move differently to them. The shows another m ain
character in the bath and when she see’s her reflection in the mirror move when she doesn’t she screams. Then shows all
different scary shots of reflections and reflecting objects. These shots start to get quicker as the music becomes faster then at
the end shows an action scene then the title of the movie comes up.
The only main theme in this is that the typical
family man who is the main character will go out of
his way and do anything to protect his family which
is a very stereotypical message. Another message
was that mirrors look back at you.
