Edgar Wright is a good director who is known for using different genres and twisting them to make them comedic. He has directed many films such as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and also The World’s End which is his comedic ‘Three Flavours Cornetto film trilogy’.

When people are shouldered with a burden of responsibility people always want a positive result out of it. In the movie Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring Peter Jackson shows just how a result comes from being burdened with responsibility.

There was a window in between the second story windows that my mother and her boyfriend at the time referred to as the ‘Bourne Window.’ The name was derived from us having recently binged the Bourne Trilogy, and the window looking like something the titular character would be sniping someone through.
