Summary:In this two minute opening of Get Carter, the director chose to reveal themain character and his train journey. He is in a smart black suit andrepresents the traditional representation of a man. The mysterious tabletsand liquid up his nose entices the audience via enigma. There was nodramatic actions or deaths. The titles give information about theproducers, actors and directors. The clip ends on Jack Carter waitingalone in a restaurant polishing a spoon, which made me curious and eagerto know who will be meeting him.
