Task- Find two thrillers that are very different from each other and identify the key differences and also similarities.
'The Dark Knight' and 'Bourne Ultimatum' are the two thriller films I will be comparing.
In terms of the differences between the two films it's important to consider the actual storyline. In 'Bourne Ultimatum', Jason Bourne, played by Matt Damon, is trying to uncover his true identity whilst avoiding death by enemies from all over the world who want to kill him before he finds out the truth.
On the other hand, 'The Dark Knight' follows a completely different story line as Bruce Wayne (also Batman), played by Christian Bale, is to fight the injustice caused by the Joker.
But in some ways they are both similar as both protagonists have aliases, and are pretending to be somebody else. Also in terms of location, both are predominately based in big cities, leading to many aspects of the sound and mise-en-scene to be similiar as the atmospheres in big cities are generally alike.
It can be said that both genres are hybrid-genres, as they have a blend of different genres mixed in them.
'The Bourne Ultimatum' includes:
-Mystery
-Action
Similarly the 'Dark Knight' includes:
-Mystery
-Action
-Fantasy
-Superhero Drama
