Observing a screenshort


Today I'll observe a picture from the very famous film Dirty Harry. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it yet, so my guesses will be only mine and can be wrong. Anyway, I'll start.



The only two things I'm sure in are that this is Clint Eastwood outside. But! Also there are:
- only hero of C.E. so he is the main figure, because he is foreground, and you have not to know him to understand this. He is moving somewhere, where is something important, maybe to kill or assess the place, because he is looked very serious and intent. His face and hair are clean, this signifies that he is living near this place and was at home on that day, but it can be not true, because films like this one like to show there main heros like without any spots (except of western films).
- the main hero is alone, but he is not sad, he is serious, so he is always or often working alone, he is independent.
- a weapon. I'm not good at guns and weapons, but this one has got a suppressor or it is a revolver - presume I see a cylinder. Suppose this is a revolver, because it's more powerful, better for that time and western film directors often shoot how the main hero revolves the cylinder.
- cloths are clean except of a little spot on his trousers. - It's 60-70s, because of the cars and the cloths of the man.
- It's not a good place, because we can see a turned over car on the left.
- USA, a city, but not the centre, because there are only 2 people on the background, a few cars and a turned over car.
- On the background there are houses and a big old house (a bank or something serious) on the right.
- it's a realistic film because of the cloths, houses and cars.
- the main hero is not poor man because of his costume, he is wearing a dark red tie. Businessmen, police, government, men going to the special evenings - they are often wearing ties. He can't be a businessman, because they don't wearing ties outside of their jobs. Don't think that he is from the government because they don't using revolvers or pistols. He can be a criminal, who was disturbed when he was at a meeting like in the Godfather. Or he can be from police. But he doesn't look like he is working in police.
The genre of this film is hit or thriller because of the weapon and the turned over car.
