Miller's Crossing

It's a hybrid as it crosses with gangster. "Not since the Godfather has there been a portrait of gangsterism as powerful as this audacious electrifying masterpiece from the Coen Brothers"
The characters are stereotypical to gangster films, you have the boss and their henchman.
There was conflict between two gangs.
there was lots of shot reverse shot during the first scene when they were talking. during the titles the camera   was panning slowly through trees.
There is continuity editing.
They were all in suits. the set and costume all seemed to have a sepia tone to it. We think it was set in the 1930s because the dress and set e.g. the telephone.
During the titles there is slow calming music. there was no back ground noise apart from a few cars during the dialogue.
The titles are bold and formal. They are green which we think is pretty weird as it contrasts with the sepia theme.
We thought it was quite slow and hard to get into as the beginning dialogue so quite boring and there was no sounds.
We liked the sepia theme as you could really feel the time period.
