My favorite scene from a movie is from 'Boondock Saints."

1. The two Irish brothers had just killed some big mob bosses at a peep show place, and the scene is where Willam Defoe's character is investigating the scene of the crime and narrating what happened. The scene is very dramatic and shot in slow motion with narration. Willam Defoe reacts what happened and his motions are matched with the actual motions of the brothers.

2. The scene is in slow motion and it is very dramatic because of bullets bursting through walls and glass in slow motion and the movement of the shooters as they fire the guns.

3. Because it is in a peep show place, the lighting is very dark and the Irish brothers are wearing black. The camera angles are looking upward to the brothers to make them seem larger than life and are medium shots to aid in dramatics.

4. The mood of the scene was dark.

5. The costumes on the brothers showed that they were trying not to be seen, and the mob bosses were very flashy to show off their power. There were strippers too and they, well, were dressed like strippers.

6. The music was dark classical and it's speed played right into the drama of the scene. It and the slow motion really sold the scene and played the most important story teller in the scene.

7. That the narrator, Willam Defoe, was very good at what he did and could read everything about this crime scene, and that he was beginning to see why they committed the murders and he was in an emotional and moral dilemma believing that they were right for doing so.

8. I guess that people who commit crimes deserve what these brothers are doing to them.
