One type of characters which link to our movie is a innocent victim who normally is a woman who has try and sort the problem out in which there decisions that the character face are either death or prison. Movies like The Da Vinci Code and Breaking Bad will use this situation because they show the protagonist who has done nothing wrong who needs to sort the situation out. In this case our protagonist is placed a bag of cocaine in her handbag and its up to her to clear her innocence. More famously, The Da Vinci Code links to our movie because it shows Robert Langdon (The protagonist of the movie) accused for a murder he did not commit and as the story carries on its up to clear his name and stop the murderer getting away with the crime. In our movie it shows a innocent woman which has a bag of cocaine placed in her handbag and yet she is the innocent person.
The Companion
A lot of crime dramas use a trustworthy companion in their movies because the protagonist are able to confide into him and trust them that they will keep the information the protagonist says secret. However, some companions can be two-faced and may make the audience wonder who's side the companion is on until the finale of the movie when the character finally decides which side he's on. One example of this character is Severus Snape from the Harry Potter films because in the Harry Potter films we find out that Severus Snape was once a favoured companion by Lord Voldemort but also was a companion of Albus Dumbledore and throughout the movies we see where Snape's loyalties lie until the end of the series and in the end we find out that he really was on Dumbledore's side. This links to our film because in the film our companion at first decides that she's on our protagonists side and in the end we see her join the villain and deceive the protagonist.
The Villain
A lot of crime dramas use a double cross villain in the movie. This is because at first they come across as a nice person towards the protagonist and then plant the crime by doing something like putting a knife in their bag which is covered in blood. As a result of this they turn the crime onto the protagonist and therefore the protagonist has a massive chase to clear their name and stop the villain
get away with the crime. This links to our movie as he gets to bump into her and pretends to be her friend. However, in order to get away with the crime he distracts the protagonists by having a conversation with the protagonist and then plants the bag of cocaine in the handbag. As a result of this he feels that he has got away with this crime and feels he has succeeded in his evil plan. Movies like The 39 Steps use these characters as Professor Jordan turns the murder of Anabella Schmidt onto Richard Hannay to make sure he gets arrested and stop him exposing the secret of The 39 Steps.
