- 4. Influence 1 One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest In this film Jack Nicholson is admitted to a mental institution, the characters upon this location are in relation to our character ‘Vincent’ and the criminal escapee. • The main protagonist Randall McMurphy was a huge influence on our own protagonist. We wanted to try and infuse our protagonist with Randall’s charisma, charm and ambiguity.
- 5. Influence 2 Shutter Island • The plot of this film is U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels, investigates a psychiatric facility on the titular island after a patient goes missing. • The element of this film that influenced us the most was the tone, it manages to have a dark and gritty tone while also balancing that with a creepy and tense atmosphere. The erosion of Teddy's confidence and even his identity were also influences.
- 6. Influence 3 • Se7en The newly transferred David Mills (Pitt) and the soon-to- retire William Somerset (Freeman) are homicide detectives who become deeply involved in the case of a sadistic serial killer whose meticulously planned murders correspond to the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, pride, lust, and envy. The influence from this film came in the form of the antagonist, he brutally and ritualistically kills people. He was the main inspiration for our antagonist. Dirty, violent, polluted, often depressing. Visually and stylistically, that's how we want to portray this world. Everything needs to be as authentic and raw as possible.
