Scariest monster ever

By far the scariest monsters are the ones that are rarely seen. When one is locked behind bars the imagination can take the character to a whole new level of frightening. Hannibal Lecter is in my opinion the scariest monster of all time. No one ever sees the atrocities that he commits so my imagination took it to a whole new level. He is a serial killer who is known to maim and dismember his victims. With this much violence in ones mind, no one truly knows what he is capable of and this makes him even more lethal. While a six headed monster that can breathe fire is pretty ridiculous and scary, many people are able to just shrug this one off because it simply cannot be real. A man who terrorizes people is more realistic and the realism of Hannibal makes him the scariest monster of all time.

Phyllis

Double indemnity

This shot is the first time we see Phyllis and it sets the tone for femme fatale for the rest of the movie. From the moment Neff sees here he is infatuated with her and after hearing that he is an insurance agent she concocts a plan to kill her husband. Walter was simply a victim of circumstance when the sexy and sneaky femme fatale lured him to commit murder. While he has the total image of a classic noir protagonist, if not for Dietrichson he would be nowhere near the trouble he ends up in. She is seen in this shot in just a towel which gives her the provocative advantage and even jokes with Neff about coverage. This is when she first begins to ensnare Neff into her plan. When the murder has already been committed and it is later she thinks about killing Walter. As the Femme fatale suggests she is the heart and soul of a dangerous woman who will use every trick in the book to get what she wants.

Harvey Taking Sides

This frame is a great depiction of the internal struggle of Harvey’s emotions. He has beaten up some kids who had been troubling him and now must apologize to them according to his mother. His indecision is brilliantly portrayed by the split up of sides in the frame, on one side he is understanding and on the other he is emotional. Even if there were no words here we would be able to tell just by looking that he is thinking something over. Also, one half is more darkly drawn than the other to symbolize the meaner and more dark side of Harvey. With half of face darkened out he is given a far more sinister look that easily persuades the reader to know this is the animated and rage filled Harvey. This questioning is of his mother’s own sincerity as she was trying to tell him what to do while she once upon a time supported a communist leader who was unpopular. Generally the sense is that Harvey is a good kid who must keep his emotions under control and in this frame it is just a well drawn example of the internal struggle of emotions that flood his body.

Minority Report: Shot of the Gunshot

In this shot from Minority Report we see the scene of what is percieved to be a murder by Anderton but was actually instead a suicide. In the middle of the frame our eye is drawn to the gun that he holds and it is in a position where you would think that he has just shot that man. On the contrary, this man held the gun to himself and forced the trigger down upon himself. It is interesting that in this frame Anderton is protrayed as a villain with an angry scowl on his face while in the entire movie he is the hero. His facial expression sends the message of hatred and rage while the action of this scene is where he spares the man's life and instead the man takes his own. The director may have made this choice to try to show the inner rage that Anderton posseses in regards to matters with his son or, maybe Tom Cruise just made this expression organically to keep the viewer wondering?
