mainstream hollywood, uk/us collaborations and independent film

Snakes On a Plane:
MAINTSTREAM HOLLYWOOD 
  • Action/thriller- however has a horror feel due to the intensity and pace of the film.
  • cheesy quotations- 'They are the deadliest creatures on Earth', 'They can attack without warning', 'Sit back and enjoy the fright'. 
  • dangerous, intense, life threatening - stereotypical of a Hollywood action/thriller.
  • Typical Hollywood actor- Samuel L Jackson 

The Full Monty:
UK/US COLLABORATIONS 
  • humorous  
  • feel good film
  • American like trailer in a British setting - music, voice over was in an american accent. 
  • voice over - describes the complications of the film- reminds me of an american reality show.
  • The American Dream- 'anyone can make it' 
  • AMERICAN VALUES, BRITISH HUMOR. 

Withnail and I: 
INDEPENDENT FILM 
  • funny/weird 
  • characters were quite odd
  • British countryside 
  • white British stereotypes- dull weather, British cafe, accents
  • Handmade Image entertainment.
