English Practice Paragraph

 In English we are currently studying the film "Mad Max: Fury Road" directed by George Miller. This is a practice paragraph on the redemption scene I wrote:

In the redemption scene mainly focused on Furiosa and Max, you see the motherly type of persona Furiosa projects in the scene. This can be effectively shown through the two-shot shots with both Furiosa and Max but also the dialogue used between the two. For instance, Max suddenly wakes up from a horrific flashback and is ready to retaliate. However, the angle then shifts to Furiosa with a close-up shot of her simply saying “It's okay, sleep”. Then proceeds to finish her sentence with “get some sleep” which transitions into the two-shot of both characters. With these aspects being used together it shows her warmth and affection of wanting him to get some rest and relax for their journey ahead. This can be seen by when George Miller used the two-shot precisely as the dialogue stated “get some sleep” ended. Which he has done to emphasize the idea of Furiosa being portrayed as this motherly character. The effect of this scene shows the audience and viewers the character progression of Furiosa. For example at the start of the movie she was seen as this cold, heartless and honourable lady introduced by Immortan Joe. To now this caring, affectionate and brave individual helping the wives escape to find the green place to call home. The combination of the two aspects of both the two-shot shot and dialogue was to not only help develop the scene but to develop the characters as a whole. Where the mission itself wasn't the main focus but the growth of the characters throughout the movie. This can link to the reality of our world, communities and individuals because we all learn or grow from the people we put ourselves around.
