Thriller movie 3 (Man on Fire)


Man on Fire is an American thriller directed by Tony Scott. The film is about an alcoholic former U.S. Marine Corps Special Operator and CIA officer named John Creasy who is hired as security for a nine year old girl, but she lives in Mexico City, which has a high rate for kidnapping. The girl is then kidnapped, Creasy bring seriously injured in the process. He then goes on a hunt to find the girl and take out whoever kidnapped her. But there is a big twist at the end of the film....
Opening Scene

The opening scene shows an alcoholic, 'burnt-out' ex U.S. Marine Corps Special Operator  and Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) officer named john Creasy looking for work and meets up with an old friend and comrade, Paul Rayburn who runs an security firm in Mexico. due to the high kidnapping rate for ransom money, a business man hires Creasy through Rayburn to guard his nine year old daughter Pita, in order to protect Pita for a short time until he can renew his 'kidnapping and ransom insurance'.

Camera Angle and Camera Movement
The wide open shots capture the true essence of the city's residence and breathe life into it as if it were a character, much like New York in 'Taxi Driver'.
The editor on the other hand, puts fear into the audience. He does this by using overlays and tremor effects throughout the film, which give the audience a sense of urgency and intensity that otherwise would be absent. Tremor and lighting, subtitles and swift camera work all contribute to the success of this film.
Lastly, each scene is hot from different types of angles. This serves to Tony Scott and his cinematography hundreds of options when it comes to the scene set up. Point of view shots, extreme close-ups, especially while the voice is on the phone and the movement of perspective camera shots are all implemented throughout the movie. The movie would not have a fatiguing effect on the audience if there was not so much movement out of the cameras.
