TRANSCRIPT

• Snatch is a film set in London. The film contains two plots: one dealing with a stolen diamond, the other a small-time boxing promoter named Turkish. The film features characters, including traveller Mickey O'Neil, ex-KGB agent Boris "the Blade" YurinovŠerbedžija, professional thief Frankie "Four-Fingers" and bounty hunter Bullet-Tooth Tony.

• Nature of Protagonist: In Snatch, there is no such clearly defined protagonist so to speak. Almost all the characters we consider to be good have some ties to the mafia and undertake not so legal businesses, with the exception of Mikey, who is a travelling gypsy.

• Nature of the Antagonist: There are a number of villains to choose from in the movie, from the two small time crooks Sol and Vinnie, right up to the big shark, Brick Top. Brick Top is the main antagonist, since all actions that the characters take eventually lead to him. He is a stereotypical villain.

• Shape of Dramatic Action: The drama in this film filter in through three main sources.

• The search for the diamond.• The risks taken by Tommy and Turkish.• The actions of Sol and Vinnie which entangles

them in the above two situations, with comedic results

• Catalytic Event: There seems to be only one catalytic event that spurs everyone into their spiral towards the climax. Brick Top. The two small crooks try to rob his betting station and find a large diamond. The man working for Doug enters the Betting station of Brick Top and loses the Diamond. Turkish has to rig a fight so that Brick Top wins. This is to pay back what he owes.

• Resolution: The resolution of this whole complex situation falls into the hands of the most unlikely character. The Gypsies. They suffer personal loss at the hands of Brick-Top and promptly seek vengeance.

• Narrative Style: The story has a narrator, named Turkish who describes all the events that happen in some detail. This implies that there has been a happy ending, for Turkish at least because he is able to narrate the story.
