I recently watched the movie Snatch (Directed by Guy Ritchie) . The movie contains two main plots that intertwine. The first focuses on a very valuable 86 carat diamond. It is stolen by Frankie 'Four-Fingers' (Benicio del Toro) and brought to London, (originally to be brought to a group of Jewish money launderers led by by Abraham "Cousin Avi" Denovitz) where the diamoned falls into the hands of local thieves and underworld figures, all of whom scramble to claim the diamond for themselves. The other plotline revolves around an unlicensed boxing promoter named Turkish (Jason Statham) who finds himself in debt to a psychotic local crime boss, Brick Top (Alan Ford), known for feeding those who fall out of his favour to his prized pigs. After his boxer Gorgeous George is beaten up by an Irish gyspy Mickey (Brad Pitt) over a trailer. Turkish and his partner Tommy decide to hire Mickey. As events twist and turn, the two situations blend into one with a chain reaction of events carrying on for each and every character.
The cinematic effects of the movie are astounding, implementing dramatic musical effects which connect the current lighting, creating a wonderful work of art that anyone can enjoy. The movie is narrated by Jason Statham, which is a good thing because of the several plot lines that are eventually tied together at the end.
It really helps the audience grasp the situation of the current scene. There are several moments where High- Key lighting really adds to the darkness of the plot. Coupled with songs which are amazing compliments to the cinematic effects, the movie really has a dark and corrupt feeling to it. The movie is hilariously finished up, leaving the audience satisfied immensely.

The multiple plot lines that come together near the end of the film truly contribute to the overall enjoyment of this film. The film as a whole was very well organized by using simple, but effective techniques.
Steve's comment was so vague that it looked like it had an invisibility cloak on it. but yeah look up Angel by Massive Attack hunter, that song is a perfect example of using the music to add to the cinematic effect in the movie. It shows up in the scene with Brad Pitt's character standing outside the burning trailer being all pissy. That song makes the scene so much more dramatic and intense for some reason.
