X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Opening sequence
I will be analysing the opening scene to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The movie starts with two boys, James Logan and Victor Creed. One is healthy and one is ill. Jame's dad is killed by Victor's and in anger, James kills Victor's dad with bone claws. But then it turns out that he was also his dad and the two boys are brothers. The opening credits start when the boys go on the run, with their mutant and healing powers, they fight through The American Civil War, WW1, WW2 and the Vietnam War.
This is a good opening sequence that ticks all the boxes by introducing the settings, the stars of the film (Hugh Jackman and Liev Schriber), the story, the genre, the main characters, makes you aware of the time period. It also sets the up the narrative, the mood and the style. It gets you interested in the film and most importantly tells you the name of the film.
