Death Race




          
             This movie explores the idea of government corruption. In this movie, criminals are made to participate in lethal races for the enjoyment of the general population. This automatically brings to mind the stories of ancient Rome and the coliseum. In my opinion, if this ever occurs in the future, people will completely lose their morals. In this trailer, the woman says that the death races get more views than the superbowl. This is shameful to society, since these are human beings, who may even be innocent, and that they are deserving of respect and life.
             The director uses imagery to get this theme across. The trailer has this almost gray tint to it. The gray tint contributes to the feelings of melancholy that the audience feel while watching the movie. Also this, combined with the strong images of people dying in car crashes during the death races cause the audience to question their morals and whether they'd actually watch such a program!
