First 5 Minutes of a Crime Film

The film that I chose to look at was The Italian Job 1969. I chose this film as it is a crime film and it is based on a heist planned by the main star Michael Caine. Within the first few minuets of the film we see the title opening sequence where a man is driving his Lamborghini through the Alps Italy. Also there is non-diagetc music playing within the scene with the song Days Like These sang by Matt Monro playing over the car. Normally you would think that the music is the dialect sound in the scene but in fact it is the sound of the car which is a Lamborghini Miura we are able to hear the cars engine and at one point the music stops when he enters the tunnel where we hear the diabetic sound of the car and then the explosion at the end. In ways this is similar to our film as it starts off calm with Jacob walking down the street and then it goes to the action if him trying to rob a shop. which does happen in the Italian job as it goes from the scene in the alps to a tunnel where the man driving the Ferrari crashes and dies and his remains are removed. So in a way the begging of our film is similar to that of the Italian Job.
