Soft

This is part of the Thriller and Social realism genre it was released in 2006. It has the theme of family in it. It follows a father and a son and how they deal with a gang and violence. They both have been attacked by the same person it helps show that they are both images of each other similar to the saying like father like son.

The film uses apart form a variety of different shot types it also has different affects. When the camera has decline in quality it shows the the view of the gang. The reasoning behind this is so that the viewer will know that is how the gang views a certain situation. The wide amount of shots used to capture how different characters feel. An establishing shot is used so that the audience can see everything that is happening as using the same shot will let them know the journey what the characters. Close ups are used to show the difference in emotions between the different characters.

At one point the car alarm of the fathers car goes off, it parallels the panic of the father as they both are controlled by the same person. The father is cowardly this can be seen by him when he doesn't backup any of his actions he also has clearly told his son to do the same as in it the son says that he was told by him that he shouldn't get into fights just like him. In contrast the son has bravery as he feels that taking action would solve the issue (what it does). The son clearly isn't like his father this can be seen not just form what he does but also that they are wearing very different clothes as the father wears a suit and the son wears tracksuits instead. This represents the different views that different people have in today's world.
