The Submarine Review . . .

The submarine
It's a dark coming-of-age comedy about a lovelorn teenage boy in 1980s Swansea, a Fifteen-year-old Oliver Tate has two big ambitions: to save his parents' marriage which is carefully plotted intervention and to lose his virginity before his next birthday. he is worried that his mom is having an affair with New Age weirdo Graham, Oliver monitors his parents' sex life by charting the dimmer switch in their bedroom. He also forges suggestive love letters from his mom to dad.
Meanwhile, Oliver attempts to woo his classmate, Jordana, a self-professed pyromaniac who supervises his journal writing - especially the bits about her. When necessary, she orders him to cross things out. Based on Joe Dethroner’s acclaimed novel, Submarine is a captivating coming-of-age story with an offbeat edge.

The genre of this film is drama and i think the character, Oliver is seen as a weird guy when playing his role in the movie.

analyse of once upon a time in the west . . .

The film features long, slow scenes in which there is very little dialogue and little happens, broken by brief and sudden violence. There is lots of sounds whic sound kind of annoying.


The tone of the film is consistent with the arid semi-desert in which the story unfolds, and imbues it with a feeling of realism that contrasts with the elaborately choreographed gunplay.


the sounds throughout the movie are loud and disturbing, however the images used show different types of shot that is presented for example; close-up shot & long shot.
However the film was successful and was the most prosperity in the western films that was made.
