what inspired me?

The reason I chose to work on mystery films is that I have always had an interest in the stir of emotions not knowing what is occurring until you get clues and piece them together and then seeing the end and how all it all folds out. Some examples of mystery films that appealed to me were Taken which shows the dark parts of society when an ex-celebrity security guards daughter is suddenly kidnapped by enemies of his and has to figure out the clues in time to save her. The opening is about this singer who he is guarding and after her show, there is a dangerous mob and protects her by using his combat skills and helping her escape harm. Throughout the whole movie, I was sitting at the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next in rescuing the daughter and who was the one behind it all. Another film I enjoy is Divergent because it brings light to the way our society works with a different world in which everyone is divided into sections based on their personality traits in order to keep the peace. The opening is the main character narrating how the society she lives in works and what each faction consists of and ends with how she didn't quite fit in like the rest. The opening was engaging because it reminded me of the way our society could be heading to which appealed to me even more. Another movie I was interested in is "now you see me" because it is all revolved around illusions that are considered magic. The main characters are hidden and at the same time, they are living an illusion as well because they are told by an anonymous person and follow their instructions willingly and throughout the movie, they try to secretly find out who is the one in charge without them being aware. The opening of now you see me is one of the main character's, Daniel Atlas explain the true reason why "magic" works which that we are interpreting and filtering what we think we are seeing. It changes to the city of Chicago with Daniel doing a card performance and truly showing his out of the box magic skills to the crowd and the viewers but in the last second you see a person in a typical black hood hiding his face from the people acting oddly suspicious by never turning his back to be seen. It jumps to a different setting where you can immediately feel the tension, a girl is attempting a trick which very difficult; its to be in a tank with her hands locked in chains and needs to get out of the tank before 10 mins end or else a hunger piranhas fall on top of her. it ends badly and everyone is scarred witnessing the death of this magician attempting a trick that ended her life. Overall, mystery gives me a feeling no other genre gives me because it plays the strings of the viewer's emotions.
