Mission Impossible 3

Mission Impossible 3 is the third movie of the "Mission Impossible" series. It centres around the protagonist Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) having to rescue on of his very own trainees from a sadistic weapons dealer. The opening scene begins as a black screen, then a sound of an electric volt is heard and the line of dialogue "we've put an explosive charge in your head". We then see a blonde man who insists to Hunt that he wants the "Rabbit's foot" and begins counting to ten, all whilst holding a gun to Hunt's wife's head. We then see the count reach "10" and a gunshot is heard, it cuts to Hunt screaming "Noooo" followed by a cut to the credits. This scene is the climax of the movie, even though it is at the start. The whole movie is a flashback and shows the events leading to Hunt and his wife in their dire predicament. This movie appeals to me to because of the action involved in it. This opening scene is ode to that, and draws the viewer in right form the outset.

  1. Good clear first post with a description of what happens, how it fits in the film as a whole and also why it appeals to you. If you want to embed a clip, you need to paste all that info in the "html" tab of the post: ask me if you don't know what I mean. Now, write a post explaining how the director has used film techniques to create a mood and identify the film within a genre. Keep going!

  2. Yeah, I realised the HTML thing as soon as I posted. But the bell had just rung so I thought to myself "meh, I'll do it tonight. Regardless, Tom will be hatin'
