2. Snatch

I think we should watch the movie Snatch in our film appreciation class. It is a great movie that requires a large amount of attention to understand. It has many good actors that worked together to make an extremely entertaining movie that many people enjoy. It is a bit hard to follow since there are many characters to follow. Each characters story fits in some way with all the others to achieve one great outcome. Jason Statham gives a great performance as a small time manager caught up in some bad situations but overcomes them. The film also has many other big time actors in it. Brad Pitt is one of the other main characters in this film. He plays a gypsy boxer who keeps a cool head and works every situation. He effectively gets what he wants no matter what other consequences might occur from his actions. Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Farina, Vinnie Jones, and Rade Serbedzija are all also in the movie as fairly major characters to follow. All of the actors in this movie do an excellent job stringing together an unforgettable movie that is great for any adult or teen. In 2001 Vinnie Jones won best British actor and Guy Ritchie won best British director. Snatch was also nominated for best British film. It also won an award for best sound editing, and another award for excellence in film making. It was nominated for five other awards around the same time period. These reasons are why I think Snatch would be an excellent choice for a movie to watch in class. It is a well respected movie that received many awards and nominations, and it is a movie that takes thought to understand keeping viewers actively watching it until it is finished. This is why I think it should be shown.
