Source Code
This is an action thriller centred
on a soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part
of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. The film flashes backwards and forwards in time,. It raises many philosophical questions that relate to quantum physics and parallel universes. It raises issues about what it means to be alive. There is an enigmatic 'open ended' finale to the film. It is not a closed text. The audience are left wondering whether Colter is alive or dead. As well excitement there are tender moments in the film that relieve tension. For example the ongoing romance and a very emotional scene where Steven phones his father. The film was made in 2011 and was directed by Duncan Jones. The film contained CGI effects and cost a whopping 32 million dollars. This film is an example of an ordinary person, albeit a solider, who had dragged into a situation he doesn't really understand. Thrillers are villain driven plots. Colter Stevens is not only against the bomber, but he is also against the person who created the source code who refuses to let him die. The film uses many devices such as suspense. This is used when the audience is thinking if Stevens can find the bomber before the time runs out. Each time his time ran out we will never know if which bomber is the guilty one. Also they use a red herring. This is when Stevens dies for the first time he dies the audience thinks that Stevens he is really dead. Finally cliff hanger is used when the audience is thinking can Stevens dismantle the bomb before it goes off.
