This is an 1987 action film which has the themes of revenge, loyalty and 80s culture (This film screams it). The film was directed by Tony Scott, produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, written by Robert D. Wachs and Eddie Murphy. The film stars Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, Jurgen Reinhol, Ronny Cox, John Ashton and Brigitte Nielsen. The film was given a budget of $28,000,000 from paramount pictures with a profit of $153,000,000. The film was nominated for an Oscar for the song shakedown in it and had won other awards for the track. The film looks at Axel Foley as he tries to solve the the mystery of his friend's near fatal attack and to solve the alphabet robber mystery. Films which are similar to this would be Beverly hills cop 1 & 3 and 48hours. For this I shall be looking at the performance and the misc en scene.
In this is shall be looking into the misc en scene of the introduction scene. In the opening scene with the the jewelry robbery the audience can easily tell who the main villain is. They can tell it is the woman as she appears to be wearing something completely different to every other member of the team. This would be highlighting her making the audience realize this. To strengthen this the rest of the people are in black often seen being wore by villains of movies.
This shall be looking at the character Axel and how he is portrayed in his performance. In the film Axel is portrayed as a very larger than life and confident person. This can be seen by Eddie Murphy's performance. It is done as he (As in allot of his films) uses a loud voice to show this and to convince others he is correct masking him appear larger than life. Though when appearing to be confident he acts relaxed and calm this can be seen when he is relaxing in the swimming pool while being told he can't be there.
