fruitvale staion

The opening to fruitvale station is esentailly the ending of the movie which is quite and entruiging techniqe used by the director,this also imforms the audience that the film was based of real life ivents all together this sets the tone for the audience before they even delve into the film. fruitvale station essentailly tells the story of the last day in a mans life but in order for the director to help the audience connect with the charecter alot of aspects fleshed out and some things just didnt take place like the scene with the dog

one theme that was heavily inorperated into the movie was single mothers as both ocsars mum and his girlfriends mums fathers were not shown in the movie and at the end of the movie when oscar dies he makes his girlfriend a single mother.

Another aspect which runs through the film is Oscars past catching up with him, the audience does not know Oscar prior to the day in which the film's set however his past actions have a big effect on how his day goes and have an even larger affect on him getting killed, in the start of the film Oscars girlfriends references him cheating and we eventually see a flashback of Oscar in jail his jail time comes back to hurt him when a rival spots him on the train causing the comotion which gets him eventually killed
