Takers: Movie Analysis

Improved Essays
I chose the movie Takers. I watched this movie a long time ago and after the first time seeing it I immediately wanted to watch it again. In all the movie was about a few friends who were profesional robbers. They robbed big banks and they made a lot of money. They did it a few times then stopped until one of the crew members who was in jail gets out and tells them about a huge job and they can’t resist even though the one who told them about it is a sketchy character. They do the heist but it goes south because the member who was in jail turns on them and they all have to split up to survive. During this they all go through different things one in counters a cop then ends up at the bar with his brother and they both die. The rest end up okay but by the end of the movie they kill the member who turned on them. My favorite scene and the scene i picked is the bar scene it shows a …show more content…
You see strength by both brothers, because the ones girlfriend is killed and he 's holding her in his arms while the other one is checking the safe and all their money is gone but they don 't choose to give up and just sit there. They decide to go out and try and fight through the cops. You may also think of bravery because they went out in front of the cops and tried to fight even though they were out numbered.

The scene doesn’t really relate to me I’ve never been in that kind of situation. The scene though was kind of upsetting to me because I really liked those two characters. They weren 't really looking for trouble they just needed the money so thats why they did it and it was a sad scene when they ended up dying.

The bar scene was all about courage and strength and bravery it showed in all the actions and choices the two brothers made. It really captures you in the moment and you feel for them at that point in time and you wish there was another way but you realize they are making the right

    Mothers Against Drunk Driving or MADD was founded in 1980 by Candy Lighter, whose daughter was tragically killed by a drunk driver. MADD is an organization to help reduce drunk driving traffic fatalities. There are numerous anti drunk driving commercials out there, but I believe this on is the best, which is named Best MADD Anti DUI commercial ever on YouTube. It is the best because the organization’s use of ethos, pathos, and logos create an effective call to action for viewers to make more responsible choices. The video contains ethos by stating a few words at the beginning of the video of how much MADD has made a change, but they are honest in saying they still have a long way to go.…

    When his determination to see his brother finally pays off, we learn that either of the brother’s tough-mindedness does not change despite the circumstances. For example, when in the story the young brother explains, “He come in and there he was, looking at me like he hadn't never left home” (Faulkner). This remark by the narrator is telling that there wasn’t an expectation at home to be greeted warmly by his brother. Consequently, both the story and movie follows with the older brother shouting, “What in durnation are you doing here?" (Faulkner).…

    What if you were on trial for first degree murder? In the movie 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose, a young eighteen year old male was on trial for supposedly murdering his own father. The twelve men on the jury were faced with different opinions and facts that questioned their morals and values in life. I feel as if this movie did have “worth” in my life. I think the movie had worth because no one should ever be stereotyped, judged, and accused based on what other people say.…
