Creative writing post 2: Specificity

     One scene that I really liked was one of the last scenes of Act of Valor. In the scene a man throws a grenade off a balcony in attempt to kill Navy Seals. To let his teammates survive and continue the mission one of the men, Roark, jumps on the grenade! The really sad part, aside from the fact that he died, is that his wife was about to have a baby, their first. I like what the director does in the scene by slowing everything down and having a slow heart beat in the background. The movie was based off of a true story and used real life Navy Seals so that fact intensifies the sadness factor by a lot knowing that it actually happened.
