Linking Thrillers

Above, we have a map to show how different thrillers all inter-combine with each other. The movies I have chosen to use are: Casino Royale, Taken, Essex Boys, Batman, Spiderman, Law Abiding Citizen, Kill Bill, Layer Cake, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Double Indemnity, L.A. Confidential, The Third Man, L.A. Noire and finally China Town. All of these are well known thrillers within the industry, some more famous than others however aspects of each linked with another. The features that I have chosen to associate the films with are: Voice overs, violence, femme fatale and deceit.
Although rather complicated to look at, this map is in fact quite simple. For, in the top right hand corner we have a key, explaining what colour lines mean, for example: purple = violence. Then from this, every movie that is placed on the purple line will involve violence within its content. 
This is a very easy way to compare thrillers together, for we can see what qualities they have in common, what they may differ from, to form quite a detailed analysis of thrillers in general. For example: from looking at the map we can see that the red line crosses with a lot of movies, we then look at they key and see that this is representing deceit, and so we can conclude that most thrillers have a key aspect of deceit in them.
