tattoo this links with how everything has been used to make it seem very surreal, this overlay
has also been used over the opening and closing credits.

give public opinion. The reconstructions have a artistic approach to them. There is a large
variety of camera angles used through out.

on his face giving him a air of mystery and making it look like he has something to hid. The
