The film we watched in class called Private was a gripping
thriller that left us with many questions as well as a slew of topics to
discuss in class. There is an extreme tension throughout the whole movie that
keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially in some of the more intense
scenes, such as when the young daughter gets locked out of the room during a
gunfight. You can feel the intense emotion of the father as he huddles next to
the door trying to be as close to his daughter as possible. Later, we discover
that the older son has a lock pick and can get the door open, which he could
have done during this scene but with all the chaos and the extreme darkness you
can understand why he may have held back, or not even remembered that he had it
all together. The older son becomes somewhat of a martyr later in the film with
his trap that he sets in the greenhouse. This is a bit of a contradiction in
his character when he was clearly fearing for his life during the gunfight but
on the other hand has the guts to plant a live grenade.
