Versus


Captain America The Winter Soldier (2014 Anthony Russo & Joe Russo)
Second instalment in the Captain America franchise starring Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie and Scarlett Johansson. The discovery of the Captains child friend Bucky still being alive causes Captain America and Black Widow to flee from S.H.I.E.L.D who have now been discovered to be Hydra. After Nick Fury's supposed death Black Widow and Captain America find help from Cap's running partner and fight back before Hydra has a missile targeting all of the worlds citizens.


I shall compare Match Point with The Winter Soldier because of the way that both movies use Scarlett Johansson's appearance as the driving force for her character. Also because both of these films are very different genres and the money that they have behind them is vastly different amounts.


Lost in Translation (2003 Sofia Coppola)
A film Directed by Sofia Coppola starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson where to lost people connect while in Tokyo. Lost in Translation because of the way Coppola portrays Johansson's character and how although she is sexualised it's not her main character arc.
