He goes as far as to tell Kay about family secrets and how there was a hit put out on someone and how his family was involved. Kay is taken aback by this naturally‚ but the audience is even more taken aback because they’re seeing a member of the Corleone family go against family code.

Love and its antagonism: Godard’s mise-en-scene of marital strife Le Mépris (Contempt) is about love at its last fraying ends. About hidden desires beseeching to be fulfilled.

Analyses of the opening scene of ‘Casino Royale’ (Martin Campbell‚ 2006) The opening scene from Casino Royale is filmed entirely in black and white which creates a sensory reaction in the audience as it makes the audience feel as though this scene may be an elongated flashback or a memory.
