The film noir The Set-Up viewed in class has different elements than those we have already watched.  We see how society views people alone and in crowds. The protagonists in this film noir do not commit murder. In the set-up we see that a boxer of a little more than a quartered age, Stoker Thompson fights with a young boxer, Little Boy. Many of the fans attending the fight that night believed that Little Boy would win, even Stoker’s manager, Tiny. This is when Tiny sets Stoker up. In The Set-Up we view different ways to analyze and observe the film. We can see crowed genders, male and female cheering and roaring for each opponent. The audience yelling out “beat him, close the other eye” and “kill him,” illustrate how vicious fans can be. In the film we viewed in class, Stoker and Julie his wife have an argument before the fight because she fears that Stoker will end up getting hurt. In the movie, Julie claims that Stoker is not as strong as he used to be when he was younger. He does not want to believe her is confident that he can fight. An element viewed in the film is the silence of scenes. An example is when Julie is undecided about showing up to the fight between Stoker and Little Boy. She walks around train tracks and thinks over and over. As the train dashes right beneath her, we observe wind blowing her hair while she thinks. When she decides to not to go, she rips her ticket. She cannot stand watching Stoker get punched to become unconscious. Another example seen on the clip is when Stoker is getting ready and he sits there thinking if Julie will show up tonight or not
