Todorov for 'Obsessed'


Influential film clips and trailers for my short film

One film which is similar to mine is 'Buffalo '66' 1998 Directed by Vincent Gallo


This is a clip from the film 'Buffalo '66' as I couldn't find a trailer for the film on YouTube. I have used this film as an example for a film which is similar to mine because the protagonist which the film follows is an anti-hero who kidnaps a teenage girl after being released from prison.

Another film which has inspired my film is 'Fight Club' 1999 Directed by David Fincher



This trailer for 'Fight Club' shows how the protagonist and his alter ego Tyler Durden are anti hero's. Tyler Durden is a leader of a terrorist organization and the film shows how causing havoc and breaking from society conventions is better than conforming.


These two films are similar to mine in the sense that the protagonists like mine, 'Mickey', are anti-heroes and are not 'good guys' which are traditionally the protagonists within films.
