Traffic

Traffic is a film hich uses multiple color filters to distinguish the multiple storylines which link to form the plot of the movie. In a way similar to Vantage Point, Traffic contains multiple characters in multiple separate storylines converging into one. The yellow filter is used in the scenes in Mexico and add to the desert-like feel. There is a blue filter used in the scenes surrounding Michael Douglas' family. The film also has a grainy texture, which adds to the overall feel of the movie.

Traffic has a star studded cast, many of which only make cameos. It has a well-developed storyline, and it comes together very well. While the film was slightly long, it was not a boring as other films of its length.
