Micro-analysis of Brick

I am analysing the scene in which Brendan attempts to break into Tugg's car. The scene starts with focus on the car instead of on Brendan, this is also repeated later in the scene when Tugg finds Brendan attemptin to vandalise his car. This scen focuses on getting as much action in, whill at the same time using a mlittle camera shot as possible. There is no non-diegetic sound, and almost no sound for the majority of the scene. The intriguing shot in this is the continuous shot at the end of the scene. Which focuses on Tugg, instead of on Brendan. Odd considering that Brendan is our main character, this attention could signify that Tugg has quite a large part to play in the film. This scen overall is about going through what you have to, to get what you want. At the very end of the scene, Brendan vents his frustration by throwing a rock at the fleeing car. The character of Tugg is shown to be very domineering, until he gets into his car, because when he gets into the car, he flees from the scene, fighting as little as he has too. Overall a simplistic, minimalist scene, that shows a suprising amount about the film and it's characters.
