Thriller answers

Thriller answers

Yes the script is an almost exact match to the sequence
Minor
In some ways and in others no it shows how weak Jerry is and how quick and smart Carl is to always have an answer for what Jerry has to say against Carl which makes him very apologetic

Jerry – Weak, petty, worthless, scared, apologetic, uptight, confined, stutter

Carl – tough, quick, intimidating, serious, relaxed

Grimsgruid – Tough guy, muscle of the two, scary, serious, silent, relaxed


Jerry at first can be taken as a protagonist but later on in the script he goes to an antagonist because he want his wife to be kidnapped. Carl and Grimsgruid are antagonists as they are helping jerry with his plot.

By the way they talk, act, dress and the way they approach jerry in the beginning but jerry in the beginning would be an protagonist until they go in to the script.

Thriller is a type of genre in which can climax to a gory or a horrific scene and can also be left in suspense to leave the audiences on the edge. In thrillers you can always tell who is going to die and who the survivors, a typical hero is usually in a form of a hard man like a police officer, friend, family, boyfriend and much more. "These types of films are known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension. Thriller and suspense films are virtually synonymous (An example of synonyms is the words car and automobile. Similarly, if we talk about a long time or an extended time, long and extended become synonyms. In the figurative sense, two words are often said to be synonymous if they have the same connotation) and interchangeable categorizations, with similar characteristics and features. Thrillers are often hybrids - there are suspense-thrillers, action- or adventure- thrillers, sci-fi thrillers (such as Alien (1979), crimecaper thrillers (such as The French Connection (1971), western-thrillers (such as High Noon (1952), film-noir thrillers (such as Double Indemnity (1944), even romantic comedy-thrillers (such as Safety Last (1923).
