A Perfect World Movie Movie Review

- The film genre expectations are subverted in the manner to which an expected judicial process for the Huntsville convicts at long run does not take place. In a high profile, the genre blends action, adventure, crime and faction types of genres. Action is through the Adventure, with a risky turn. Adventure is through an epic distant journey in escape of crime on the offense being committed by the convicts escaping.
- In comparing and contrasting three cultural types, of criminal, legal and religious, Butch, Phillip and Red are of importance. Butch represents the true criminal culture through his actions of prison break, murder of his fellow convict and abduction of the eight year old boy. This does not match to the teachings given to Phillip as he was brought up in a religious manner evident as he never participated even in Halloween. Red a representative of law is seen to be discharging his duties as in the story line is seen to be in the entire need to capture Butch alive after a plan to kill Mack’s family when they realized who he was. The intersecting undertakings in the last part of the storyline distinguish the three backgrounds that have different teachings, in seeking for expected justice.
- The film subscribes to morality, because of the view it emphasizes on giving a different perception of Halloween celebrations to Phillip who was entirely brought up in a religious background. This is through Butch getting to allow him with consent to participation into all along lifetime forbidden indulgences that were not religious compatible with him.
- The characters do not tend to change their present or even future. Through a prison break by Butch and Jerry with the need to Flee, Butch further plans to commit a crime by wanting to kill Mack and the family. Phillip a hostage does not subscribe to crime as he does not allow Butch to kill Mack and the family. And for the case of Red, he seeks to convict Butch who is together with Phillip and render justice with no other thought of option.
- Familial relationships are not exclusively defined by blood as they transcend genetics. In a positive case to this, Butch who is considered to be a criminal is noted to have protection children like Phillip his hostage and Cleveland, who is Mack’s grandson who gets frequently abused by Mack a fact that Butch does not subscribe to. Further, Phillip has protection to Mack and the family from being killed by Butch. A negative relationship is that of Butch and Mack’s family through the plan to kill them. All this develops the thematic aspects like love, care, hatred and protection depicted in the film through the characters discussed.
- Gender plays a critical plot development role. It emphasizes on the ability of the females to accomplish both the domestic domain roles like the ones of Phillips mother, of raising her kids, and that of public domain an example of the Criminologist on trail to hunt for the criminal and hostage before they get to cross the border. Therefore, gender reveals the women’s strength in this film, through the use of the fore-said female characters.
- Mirroring draws a reflection a facet in a number of characters, especially in the hostage side. Explicitly, when Butch realizes that Mack and the family have realized who he is, he plans to kill them. Crime is therefore part of his character from the past. Implicitly through the same character, he is someone who cares for children. In this side, he stops Mack from regularly abusing Cleveland and further, protects Phillip even after shooting him. This concept puts more effect to the theme of love showing Butch is protection to the young in society.
- The very specific time moment recreated in the film is timeless. It is a time that imposes the effect of panic to the viewer explicitly alienating the viewer. In the larger themes the interplay gets reflected after commitment of crime, where the criminal tends to escape without consent of the next endeavor. An example, after Phillip shoots and throws away Butch is gun he runs away and we see Butch following him. We get to be freaked and anxious of his actions afterwards leaving the viewer in a state of suspense.
The prevailing themes in the film are love and hatred. Evidence is based on the characters outline in cinematography with an n appealing background. The sound effects properly mimic the reality with a close drawn perspective. A matching mise-en-scene provides a nice outline, with properly done editing of the story line. The story plot gets to be enticing with proper use of suspense, a case that puts us on suspense on what shall happen after the conviction break, Phillip hostage, and even what shall happen after Red and the team gets to surrounds a place Phillip and Butch were. Proper characterization, works jointly to support themes, deducting the different legal, criminal and religious perspectives.
