*WARNING:SPOILERS
As you would think crime films involve the obvious themes like action and thriller but also other themes are presented such as romance, drama and even comedy. I do chose crime for more than just its wide range of themes, but because i'm fascinated by the strategies that are made and the skilful ways that the characters carry them out. For example The Shawshank Redemption(1994),easily my favourite film, The plot twist towards the end of the film,when you discover that the innocent convict,Andy Dufresne, had made a cunning escape from the exploiting Shawshank prison, you forget how throughout the film your emotions were running high and low in such a short amount of time. The audience finally got to the feel good factor when Andy reunites with his best friend,Red, from his torturous past at the ill-treating prison, and see him filling out his dream as he always wanted to. Leaving the audience content that we see the mistreated Andy Dufresne, be remediated.
A new form of crime being presented in Now You See Me (2013), where an accomplished set of magicians use there skills of illusion to drain the bank accounts of the deceitful and profane, to bestow upon the audience of their shows. Going by the name of the four horseman, I was reminded of a robin hood figure but in this case figures, Where they take from the undeserving rich and give to the people who are in need of the money truly. This is again a captivating performance as we witness mesmerising illusions by the conjurors that enthral the audience not just in the movie,but to the audience watching the motion picture. I relish in plot twists, I love having to think back and study the film to make sure everything adds up. So with this film's plot twist I was astonished when I discovered that the head detective of the investigation against the horsemen, turned out to be the secret boss of their organisation, but a exceptional twist at that. Leaving the audience joyous that the foursome had got away with their generous,commending but illegal act, without having to deal with any consequence.
