In addition to the famous Ocean’s series, compacted with enthrilling schemes, adrenaline pumping danger and mind blowing escapades, the new 2018 American heist film Ocean’s 8 is a woman empowering flick combining fashion and action to create a truly enjoyable characters. With Sandra Bullock starring as the intelligent, devious, resilient and awe-inspiring Debbie Ocean this new release chronicles the significant revenge of an enraged women who was maligned by an insensitive, callous man and all it took was 5 years, 8 months and 12 days to devise a full proof plan. Alongside 7 equally self-assured and inspiring accomplices including Debbie’s partner in crime Lou Miller, intricate jeweller Amita, street con artist Constance, bored suburban housewife Tammy, ingenious hacker Nine Ball and fashion designer Rose, this recruitment of specialists are the perfect crew for the biggest heist of the Century. Their target, a $150 million Cartier necklace perched upon the prestige neck of Daphne Kluger, played by none other than Anne Hathaway who not only steals the show but runs away with it in 5 inch stilettos and a hot pink dress!!

Ocean’s 8 is a plausible twist upon the original Ocean’s series showcasing the equality between genders, as Sandra Bullock takes the position of George Clooney in a sophisticatedly magnetic, yet colloquially inspiring manner. My favourite scene features the salient protagonists positioned elegantly and powerfully upon the steps approaching the MET gala, with the skillful director implementing a full shot to successfully capture the poise appearance of the characters. Furthermore, it is evident that the low camera angle provides the women with paramount authority over both the audience and other characters who failed to discover the creative and tactful plans of the all female crew. This has an effect of evoking sympathy among respondents as they are obligated to be mesmerised and have a level of respect for the powerful characteristics which the composer has proudly displayed throughout the movie. To enhance the aura that is presented, my only suggestion would be to accentuate the lighting as to have a glow on effect upon the characters, resulting in acclaimed complexions which emphasise femininity.
