1. Who is the hero, and who is the villain? How do you know?
The intro to Snatch doesn't contain any heroes. However, we see 4 villains who are all in the same gang and steal the jewels. The audience are stunned by this as we see the main villain acting as a friend to the man who owns the jewels. We know that they are the villains once they produce guns and rob the place, even hitting people around the head with their guns.
2. Where's the story set? What does it say about the genre?
The story is set in an office block. However, we get the feeling that it may not be an ordinary office block from the vast amounts of diamonds found in the office. It contained very strong security, and we see the 4 villains only via security cameras to begin with, which could show that they are thieves and should be kept an eye on. It says alot about the genre in that most characters in the films are indeed unlawful and could easily be arrested for what they do, whether that be gang fights, hustles or robbery.
3. How many principle characters are there?
There are 5 principle characters. The 4 who are the villains and the man that owns/is manager of the office company. We see this as they follow the 4 villains and the 5th owner is key as he holds the key as to why they are there.
4. How is the story told? Chronologically? What is the effect?
The story is told chronologically as we see the 4 villains first and we see that they are going to a certain place. However, as they are in disguise we do not know if they are actually criminals or not and we are left with questions as to who they are and why they are there. But once they pull out the guns we instantly see that they are actually in disguise to pull off a robbery. The effect of that is shock to the viewers and grips them to the scene.
5. What questions are you left with?
We are left with the questions such as why they pulled off the con? Who they are? And why they even dressed up as jews?
