10/8/2018 1 Comment King's MAN When I started watching this movie, I thought it was Kingsman directed by Matthew Vaughn but it turns out that it's not. King’s Man follows the story of three young girls who are kidnapped off a bus in Mexico. The film starts with three girls who are from Mexico coming home from their aunt's house who resides in the States. These creepy guys follow the girls and once they arrive at the bus station in Mexico they kidnap them and take the girls to their plantation/land/farm. They shove these girls in a bunker and inject drugs into their veins. It is implied that the drug is to make the girls skinner. The whole purpose of the abduction is to sell the girls into modeling for a Chinese company. I thought that the thrilling nature of the film was interesting because it is something that is actually happening today. With that being said, multiple parts were very hard to watch- especially since human trafficking is so prominent in today's culture.
This film was not made for you to notice the art of filming- it was made to raise awareness of human trafficking. So it is categorized as a classical film because the director wants to make you emotionally invested in the characters. But, it was interesting because it kind of felt like a documentary since it was documenting what these girls lived through. Also because it was informative to the viewer. At the very end, it dedicated the story to families with missing children everywhere which I thought was cool. It is very hard to analyze shots or color or anything artistic because I was on the edge of my seat paying attention to the characters. But I thought the casting was done very well- all of the characters did a good job at portraying fear and anger. I will say that Lucy, the aunt who saves the girls, has a tattoo on her neck that was shown multiple times. I would have thought that this would come up as a motif or symbolize something but the director did not make it a big thing.
