Filmic Choices: A Reflective Analysis

This chapter engages in a deep analysis of narrative choices in a film, particularly focusing on the impact of character deaths and births in the third act. It also examines the cultural representation of mental health, gambling, and casting decisions from the '80s, while humorously critiquing the age discrepancies among actors in pivotal roles. The discussion highlights how these elements influenced audience perceptions then and how they might resonate in contemporary contexts.
