With no word spoken, yet so much is communicated through the silence. Each action, symbol and facial expression reveals so much about what's happening or going to happen. The visuals brought through the tension and climax more than adequately.
However, without background knowledge of the various visuals used, the inability to link the two groups of characters conceptually and putting in place the context of what is actually happening, dampens the excitement and forebodiment of the fight that may happen.
Actions, symbols and visuals used:
- Arabic language symbolised mid eastern country.
- The star of David, symbolises the Jewish race.
- White muscular men dressed in plain black and white coupled with piercing and stares implies violence or gangsterism.
- Iron Cross, which is awarded during the two world wars by the German Army, implies the purity pursuit of Nazism in which the Jews were "purged".
- Music, a dead giveaway of culture background.
- Frantic-ness and awkward silence: what more need to be said?
