This week I watched the film A Simple Plan for the genre of
Film Noir. The movie is about three friends who are completely different, one
is smart, one is dumb, and the other is just there to hang out. While trying to
track down a fox, the three stumbled across a plane. Inside this plane they
found a bag containing four million dollars. Both of the somewhat dumb
characters, Jacob and Lou, want to keep they money but Hank thinks they should
give leave it there. After some convincing, they decide to keep it and wait
until next spring and if no one claims it they will divide it and keep it. Of
course this does not happen and insecurities make their way into the story as
characters end up dying and each friend kills another or even kills family
members. The three friends end up distraught and the money is burned. The film
uses techniques of moving shots and camera angles as well as over the shoulder
and showing only certain amount of people’s bodies. The theme of the movie
centers around greed. Overall I thought the movie was alright and I would give
it a 6 out of 10 and would probably not recommend it to a friend.
