Research/analyze/discuss three film openings from Thriller genre

28 Weeks Later:

Research: Don, his wife Alice, and four other survivors take refuge in a cottage on the outskirts of London during the first Rage Virus outbreak[a]. Don opens their door when they hear a scared boy beating on it. They learn minutes later that the youngster has been followed by infected individuals. Don begs Alice to leave the boy, but she refuses, so he leaves them and makes his getaway on a boat, leaving Alice, the boy, and the other survivors likely dead.

Analyze: Examines issues such as the dissolution of society, the perils of unbridled military might, and the fight for survival against a highly contagious virus.

Discuss? Illustrating the brittleness of the recently established order and the capacity of human nature to degenerate into chaos when pushed to the limit, serving as a somber follow-up to "28 Days Later" in which the emphasis switches to the reconstruction efforts in a devastated London, only to be threatened by the resurgence of the infected.

Joker: Folie à Deux

Research: we learn Joker's shadow assumes his role to enact violent acts on the TV show stage before he leaves Joker to receive attacks from three police officers. Several critics have praised the movie for its ambition combined with emotional intelligence and meaningful thought contents. Various film critics indicate that Phoenix and Gaga deliver impressive performances within the movie. 

Analyze: The fantasy dance sequences with song received positive comments from certain movie critics.Several critics argue that the film becomes too gloomy while crossing into disturbing territory. Some movie reviewers describe the film as unfocused and uncoherent. The movie fails to provide essential Joker content as per critics' evaluation according to some observers. Additionally critics observe that the third segment of the movie perplexes viewers who cherished the original Joker film.

Discuss: Some viewers feel that the hasty finish to the film should have appeared sooner during its run. The film's terminal sequence makes viewers feel deep sorrow while sparking associations between the screen content and actual tragedies of 9/11 and Oklahoma City.


Jurassic Park

Research: confirms that Jurassic Park stands among the greatest films within the action thriller category. The movie represents a form of techno-thriller among other genre categories. The cinematic industry regards Jurassic Park as the film that set the precedent for modern visual effects using computer-generated images.

Analyze: On June 9, 1993, Jurassic Park received its debut screening at the Uptown Theater in Washington D.C. before having its nationwide United States release on June 11. The movie succeeded in becoming one of the biggest hits of all time by bringing in audiences totaling $914 million in the first run before Titanic held the record in 1997.

Discuss: The main group reacts intensely after witnessing real Parasaurolophus and Brachiosaurus. The visitor center teaches the group how scientists achieved cloning dinosaurs through the extraction of prehistoric mosquito DNA which was trapped in amber. Testing of frog DNA alongside other DNA material served to complete missing parts in the dinosaurs DNA sequence.
