American gangster is a great film about a man with so much authority and power that he uses it to kill people who have either offended him or his family. l have chosen to analyse this film because l think that it gives you the fell of a thriller which is relevant to our group's film opening. lt will also be good for us because then we can use the experienced shots, music choice and many more important elements such as setting, colour. l also think that it is also a film which makes you think really hard about what's happening and that is what we want to portray in our film opening
