Evaluation task 2
By Tom Thomson
Character comparison
• In this task I will look at how our most seen character compares to the
same type of character from a different film within the same genre.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
The difference between these two
characters are minimal, the biggest
differences are the outfits that they wear
and the time that the films are set in.
These two characters are both cold killers
as you can see from these snapshots. Both
snapshots were taken just after they
murdered someone and neither of them
show any form of emotion be it sympathy
for those they just shot or happiness for
completing the mission.
Lets talk business.
• Alex plays the character that collects the gun and murders the two
drug dealers, his character is portrayed as being a cold hearted killer
which is represented when he shoots the two drug dealers and shows
no remorse or any form of emotion. This is much the same as the
shootings shown in the Godfather films. The killers in both movies
show little emotion towards the fact that they have just taken a mans
life. He also bears some resemblance to the killing of the women in
Bad Boys II, the killer kills the women without a second thought and
shows no emotion after the crime had been committed. All the killers
I have just mentioned take killing as if it is an everyday thing.
Is it normal?
• Alex is a very typical character of crime thrillers and this is shown by
the fact that in almost every film for this genre there is a character
who kills without remorse. This is proof that our killer is a typical
convention of crime thrillers.
• Our Killer also possesses the typical qualities of a cold hearted killer,
he is efficient, aggressive and wears outfits that blend in. I will talk
about each of these qualities separately.
• There are three perfect examples of cold hearted killers and that is
the Godfather movies, the Scarface series and the Bad Boys films.
Quality 1 (efficiency)
• The killer in our piece is efficient, the efficiency of our killer is
portrayed by the montage sequence. We show him holding the gun
and within thirty seconds Alex will enter the room portraying the idea
that he gets the mission and will complete it very quickly. He is also
efficient in the way of he enters the room shoots the characters and
then leaves with the drugs.
• His comparison on this quality is the Bad Boys killer. He kills and
leaves and this is the same as the Bad Boys because they enter do
their job and leave again as quickly as possible.
Quality 2 (aggressive)
• This the most common convention of a crime thriller killer.
• Our character is aggressive and we can see this in the way that he
enters the building. He kicks the door in showing he is not messing
around and that he has an aggressive side which may help him
through his career. He is also seen as aggressive because he shoots
the dealers without question.
• The comparison for this is Scarface because he is seen to be
aggressive when he is shooting his enemies through a wall it is blind
rage that makes him do that.
The costume
• The costumes that our killer wears is not garish or anything that will
make him stand out it is in fact the complete opposite. He wears
clothes that make him blend in and become one of the general public.
This helps him not to be captured and contributes to his efficiency.
• Many crime thrillers will not have their main killer dressed weirdly or
in anything that will make him stand out although generally they wear
suits to show their professionalism.
