My Favorite Movie (fo rizzle)

Because I really don’t have a favorite movie, I guess I’ll just write about one I like. ‘The Dark Knight’
And so begins my review of one scene of the movie, my favorite part, the opening scene.

The movie starts out with about 7 or 8 guys in funny clown masks robbing a bank. Each one is there for a reason, one to open the safe, one to turn off the security, but as each one completes his task he gets shot by the clown next to him. They were told to do this in order to ‘decrease the split’ so each clown gets more money. But by the end of the robbery with only 3 or so clowns left everyone suspects the other of being in charge of the final execution (killing the other clowns) leaving one clown with all the money. After a short standoff and arguing, one of the clowns says.
“I’m here to shoot the bus driver.”
“What bus driver-“ BOOM
That’s when the big yellow school bus comes crashing through the wall of the bank squashing two of the clowns, leaving the bus driver and one more. The bus-driving clown hops out, and helps the last clown load up the money into the van. When they finish the bus driver looks around.
“Hey! Where are all the other guys-“ BANG
The remaining clown has shot the bus driver and proceeds on the bus through the hole in the wall from which the bus entered. He drives right into a line of school buses in a line for a field trip, showing exactly how well the plan was laid out.

Indeed, quite the master plan.

The rest of the movie was very good but this opening scene was my favorite part.
