Summary of films studied in class.

Whilst in class, we studied the opening of several films. The first thriller film that we looked at was Memento. The man character in this film is Guy Pearce. The director of this film is Christopher Nolan and the writer Jonathan Nolan. The plot of this film follows a man, suffering from short-term memory loss and therefore has to use notes and tattoos to hunt down for the man who he thinks killed his wife. 

A second film we looked at was Children of Men, 2006. This film is set in 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer produce children. However, a former activist agrees to transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea in which her child's birth may help out scientists to save the future of the human kind. 

The last film was History of Violence, 2005. The plot of this film follows a man who becomes a local hero through an act of violence. However this sets off repercussions that will shake his family to its very core. This film is directed by David Croneberg and written by John Wagner and Vince Locke.
