Homicide

Homicide is written and directed by David Mamet which was released in 1991. We were watching this in terms of its context, as we have previously studied and looked at form. The plot: a Jewish homicide detective investigates a murder scene - an elderly Jewish woman, owner of a candy store was gunned down, presumably for her fortune hidden beneath the basement. The detective is put to the test with his loyalty to the badge and also his new found Jewish consciousness.

I think the story seemed to take elements of a story dealing with issues of identity. conspiracy and duty.
