1975 Film Post: Sent to Hell


   When three brothers go to the Vietnam war  Billy, Joe, and Frankie Jones who are coal miners have a lot of challenges to overcome.  Joe ends up being kidnapped and the brothers have to go search for him. While searching for Joe, Frankie and Billy are put up to some difficult tasks and fighting off the Vietcong. Frankie and Billy learn a lot about themselves and the importance of family during the hunt. 

Playing the brothers we have Christopher Walken, Harrison Ford, and Kurt Russel. Having these three actors bring unknown names  to the film and a younger more energetic cast which is always fun to watch.  Steven Spielberg would be the director because he has a vision to make great family movies due to his directing in The Sugarland Express and right after Jaws comes out it will be a movie a lot of people want to see. Paramount Pictures is the studio we will work with because of their history of giving financial freedom to the director and we want Speilberg to take his vision and run with it. 

Cinematography will be the main focus and why not choose Gordon Willis from the Godfather because he did such a good job with the darkness and gritty aspect during the Godfather. The 1970s film are darker toned of the film and the plot that is very relatable to the everyday American. Sent to Hell is going to be awesome!
