I thought she would have done better in the scene where the children died she shouldn’t have allowed Mr Lyons to cover Edward with his jacket, she should have acted more aggressively and she should have thrown away the jacket.
My least favourite actor was Mickey because I expected more from him, the way he acted his character was not what I expected. And I also expected he could do better than that.
In the production they made use of spotlight (lighting) to mark the moment or what is happening at that point in time, for instance they spotted a red light on top of Mickey and Edward when they were taking an oath to become blood brothers, the freeze frame and slow motion was also made use of this was when Mrs Lyons grabbed a knife in Mrs Johnstone’s kitchen when they were having a fight. and as for music it was to show when the characters were in a happy or sad mood and the atmosphere, when Mrs Johnstone went dancing with her husband and also when the two boys died {Mickey , Edward} . spoken light and mime was also used in the production when Mrs Johnstone got married, the visitors were miming to express their feeling, spoken lighting was used when the narrator was talking then Mickey and Edward were having fun at the funfair park.
It made the film more interesting, especially when the twins became friends (Mickey and Edward), when the Johnstone were moving to town.
The narrator explained the film by narrating it to the audience what was going on at that point in time.
My favourite part of the production was when the children were young the way they behaved was like a seven year old kid. They really focused on the character they were asked to act in the production (Mickey, Edward, Linda and the other children) the part of the production that I didn’t like most was meant to show more reaction when Mr. Lyon covered Edward with his coat, she was not meant to allow him to cover Edward with his coat, and she should have thrown it away and then cover them with her own
The production put together really showed a message this was when the boys met each other and became friends took an oath and always stood by each other till they died. The main message in the play which I feel is BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.
The film is emotional that I felt like crying when Mrs Johnstone gave her baby away because she could not take care of them both and also the way she was treated in the production by Mrs Lyons .and when Mickey was sent to jail for crime he didn’t commit and really affected him . The production was a very good and interesting movie.
