Legend Film Review

The film is about the two Kray twins who were one of the most notorious gangsters in London in the 1960’s and the film is based upon their lives and how they ran London the way they did and the parts are played very well so it is very believable and it made the film very interesting, it wasn’t very thought-provoking but it made you realise how much power the Krays had during the 60’s and the climax took a while to be revealed but it was eventually even though it took a while and the setting was perfect for the story as it’s set in the 60’s in London so they recreated it very well.

The central goal of the film was to enlighten you on how powerful the Kray twins were and the film was also made to entertain and educate at the same time but it depicts the two twins very well throughout the film and it shows you how they scared people just by the sight of them that’s how powerful they were. The film made a very strong impression on me and it made me want to learn more about the two Kray twins and what they did and how they made their money and got all their power in the way they had it.

I really liked how the two twins were played even though they were played by the same actor (Tom Hardy) so he played both of the brother’s personalities very well as Reggie was the sane near normal brother and he also plays Ronnie the certified insane brother who is also a homosexual but he plays the part very well and he made them come to life and the personalities were made very complex even though they were also played as stereotypes, and there were certain archetypes that enhanced the film very well.

The director chose to depict there two lives very well and he portrayed them very well so he made it very interesting to watch and it made you want to know more about the two brothers and how vicious and how vindicative they could actually be as they used their power to their advantage in any way that they could and you can compare the film to others that the director has shot, and the story was very straightforward and there was certain tension during the film as the brothers were both very intimidating and there was a lot of conflict in the film as they ruled North London.

The music supported most of the scenes during the film very well as they made them very tense and it didn’t make any of the scenes distracting at all as the music works very well within every scene that they have used music in and all the music was queued in at the perfect time.

All the shots in the film were very unique as they used a lot of cloning tools to put the two twins in the film together at the same time as they were played by the same actor and it is not a very easy editing trick to do you have to get it perfect for it to look good without being able to see it and the lighting in every scene made most of them tense or captivating and the action throughout the film was shot very coherently with basically no editing misuse at all they were all very clean cut during every action scene and the camera movement made most of the scenes very captivating in certain ways and the framing in each scene worked very very well.

Every set felt lived in and made the story a lot more believable in every way because of the setting of every scene and the costumes were perfect in every part of the film as they showed the power and sophistication the brothers both had and the respect that they had and the money that they had as they were able to wear a different suit every day without a worry in the world and each environment was different but it made every scene captivating.

The special effects throughout the film were very well produced and you couldn’t see any editing errors and it was all very clean cut throughout the film and I cannot fault the editing at all and they integrated all the special effects very well within the story in every way because of how much was used and the unique effects were that they used a clone tool to get the twins in the same scene together every time.

The film flowed very well throughout every scene and the pace throughout the film made it flow perfectly and the film was very clearly organised in some scenes more than others and some scenes did drag the film down and I didn’t think certain scenes were necessary really but they made the film as they filled certain parts that needed to be filled.

The dialogue throughout the film was very good and in certain parts made the brothers sound very intimidating and the dialogue brought a lot of context to certain plots in the film and most of the conversations between certain people made the brothers look scary and intimidating and the dialogue perfectly matched the personality of the characters.
