Who leaves wine at the end of a dark tunnel?

What are the layers of context/setting in this film?


Well, first off there is the obvious layer, which is the setting of the carnival/festival and the the ancient catacombs, and I think the whole thing takes place in Venice? As well in this layer, is the characters, with the one who wants revenge and the one who is getting what he deserves. Then there are the actions of each of the characters, what they warrant for what the get. Then there is the second layer which is the feeling, which is revenge, and darkness and deception. This helps take the mood to a whole new level of darkness, which is shown through the darkness of the setting and the themes. Then there is the final layer, which is, how is it created? Everything in the story is put there for a reason. For the majority, every part of this makes it dark. The characters, the setting, the theme, the mood, it all adds to the to the creation of the story.


How does the filmmaker convey evil or darkness? Is it through the plot, imagery, characters, setting? What expressions of darkness had the most impact on you and why?


Practically every part of hte story added to convey the darkness. The plot, the imaging, the characters, the setting, all of it was part of the grand master plan which made the story as dark as it was. The expression that had the most impact on me, we're the characters, and how cunning one of them was to plan the entire series of events out and make everything happen for a reason.

How can a character represent darkness? Who or what is evil in this film? From whose perspective or in what context?

A character can represent darkness, usually through evil, or simply being the antagonist in the story. The entire story itself was evil. Every bit of the story added together to create the whole dark atmosphere, but it was the characters who held the evil with them. They held it in the context of revenge, and insult to one another without much remorse.What factors contribute to the character's evil actions? What patterns in society or contexts help and/or hinder and/or change his behaviour?


What are the roots of this person's choices/evil/dark behaviour? What are the choices he/she makes or could have done differently?


How does this character/plot/setting symbolize the darkness in all of us? In humanity?
