Analysis for 'Blow'

Blow
(2001, Ted Demme)
Genres:
Biography, Crime, Drama


The opening sequence of the film blow is about cocaine as the name suggests.
Throughout the title sequence the names of the actors are written with cocaine and are then snorted with rolled up £20 notes.

The soundtrack has a fast paced, fun tune which which doesn't give the impression that the film is of the crime genre.

The pictures throughout the title sequence are really abstract and blurry which helps make the viewers feel as thought they are under the influence of the drugs which are being shown onscreen.

the film follows the main character from his hard up-bringing in his childhood all the way through to when he is an adult and is dealing with dangourous situations and people because ogf ths the viewers and main charahchter form a type of eomotional connection slash bond.

The prps of the title sequence are all daily objects that anyone can get hold of but are also what are used usually in real life tese things consist of credit cards, money notes and straws.

this resembles the characheters tht will be used in our opening sequence as it will also follow them through all their difficult situations even though it is not as long as the character from blow the viewers will be able to form an emotional understanding/connection as they watch them go through all their troubles through as they try to find the muderer that killed their friend.
