Notes on Film Openings

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels



The main character is portrayed as a wheeler-dealer in the opening of the movie, he can be related to Del boy from 'Only Fools and Horses' which gives the audience an expectation of what may happen in the film.

Conventional film noir features:
- Themes of crime
- Stairways
- Voiceover

Non-conventional film noir features:
- Public places
- Natural daylight
- Personality of character, light-hearted, funny,

British gangster films represent criminality in terms of lovable rogues and cheeky guys, its fails to engages with themes of morality and humanity like in film noir films.
