Anatomy of a Scene

''The Unforgiveable'' is a drama movie about a prisoner named Ruth who has just been released. After being released from prison for killing a cop Ruth gets two jobs. While being busy with her two jobs, Ruth decides to find and reconnect with her little sister.  Ruth decided to keep everything about her past life a secret and keeps to herself. Throughout the movie, Ruth constantly drifts off to her traumatic memories which reveals more about herself and what happened before her arrest. The scenes in the movie have a bit of a gray scheme which makes the scene seem gloomy and lonely. Ruth has these moments where she is sitting in silence and thinking to herself. It makes the audience feel bad for Rtuh and everything that she has gone through.  Toward the end of the movie, the scenes become much brighter and livelier. Ruth finally gets accepted by others and reunites with her sister.  '' A Man Called Otto is a drama/comedy film about a lonely, grouchy senior who abides by the rules at all times. He lives in a community that is being threatened by a real estate agent who wants to completely renovate the area and move the current residents to other areas. Otto has just lost his wife, Sonya, to cancer and his grief has led him to decide to take his own life. However, he meets his new neighbor , Marisol, who always check up on him and cooks meals for him. My favorite scene of the movie is when Otto is carrying Marisol's newborn son. He gift them a handmade crib and while carrying the newborn his face is full of love for the newborn. The room is glowing from the rays of sunshine which signify me that Otto has now found happiness after the death of his wife. The rest of the movie it is seen that Otto becomes part of Marisol's family and starts to form relationships with his other neighbors. The main message of the movie is finding joy in life again after losing our loved ones. Also, how kindness is crucial in today's world were we don't know what somoen is going through.
