title sequence analysis
Setting
For the first image the audience see of the title sequence we are given a retro themed cartoon
of a man being animated. To be moving fast through an airport, this sets the story to be around if not the beginning of the film maybe around an airport. The man is wearing a suit which connotes that the film is set in America in the mid 50's/60's. As all the men and women are smartly dressed in comparison to todays dress code of people boarding planes as people now tend to dress in a more 'relaxed' manor.
Theme
The theme of this film is shown to be a deceptive crime thriller, maybe involving Tom Hanks as the detective as this next screenshot displays the character of an undercover agent observing the character who has taken the identity. Of what seems to be a pilot mixing in with crowd, this creates the audience to think such things as... Who is he? Is he on the run from the law? Why is he being watched?
