Film Review/Analysis Of The Others (Thriller)

In the opening scene of the others the first thing we see is a picture out of a what seems to be story book with the voice of a woman reading it this gives us the impression that she has children we can also tell by the tone and pitch of her voice that shes telling a story to the children as shes speaking quite calmly. As the film goes on we can tell from what she's saying that its a children’s version of the bible and that there religious. We then see the film title against a picture in the book with the sound of a flute and harp playing in the background. In the pictures there are children suggestion that the main storyline has a lot to do about the children. We then have the opening credits with pictures of the what the story's about in the background. Its tells us it has a lot to do with a mother and her children.
 And that their constantly protected by there mother we then hear the sound of a violin the pictures then show us that the children are being haunted. From the pictures we can tell the film is based at a time around the first world war by the way there dressed. The film then begins with a picture of the house where its going to happen with a date in the corner of when the films based in 1945 its also tells us the house is in Jersey, the channel islands. By this time the music from the flute,harp & violin have stopped and the next thing we here is a woman screaming as it shows her waking up from what seems to be a nightmare.
