Comprehensive analysis

John Reese - Person of interest 
John Reese is a character in the TV drama ‘person of interest’ a former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier and CIA field officer, who is presumed dead. Little is known about Reese's background, and his name is one of several aliases he uses. He lost his lover, Jessica, prior to meeting Finch, which appears to have marked him deeply. Reese demonstrates skill in the use of a range of weapons, hand-to-hand combat, and surveillance tactics. He knows very little about Finch and is often rebuffed when he attempts to learn more about him.

John can be seen as a middle class actor, this is because he works for Finch who is in the government and controls all the cameras in the state. Another spectacle that adds to his middle class look is the clothing he wears to work, Mr Reese is always dressed in suits, and overall his appearance looks very professional. For his work he usually takes down criminals by himself because he is a very skilled worker. He always talks very calm and he’s never nervous which can add effect to the fact he is so skilled in what he does. Reese also speaks with clear standard pronunciation which can be shown in this clip
 

This next clip I have can show Johns fighting ability, this adds to his representation of being a very skilled fighter. In the face the character looks neat and smart also. in the first clips he is fighting a big bald man, john uses strength, skill and speed to make him unconsious.


we arent shown any of his background, for example where he lives and his family, only his work within the force, this is because he has been living when people think he is actually dead. Therefore we cant examine his quality of life.



Jr Ewing - Dallas
Jr Ewing is an extremely rich man, he is a middle class worker and owns an oil field. the owning of the oil field can shows the audience that he has alot of money. Ambitious and anxious to prove himself by following in his father's footsteps, he is determined to start drilling for oil at Southford. Also we are shown clips of jr Ewings house, he has a huge house with a swimming pool, this can show ther audience he spends alot of money and has a high income. This video has a variet of clips of him, they can show us his 'cowboy' accent. We are shown that the character always dresses smart, he wears different kinds of suits, this can indicate his importance and also his wealth because wealthy men usually dress in suits.

  

Jr Ewing also seems to be a humorous character at times two, a funny quote he has said is 'she will be better than the slut I'm looking at now' John Ross can also be seen as a stuck up character, this is because he knows he has a lot of money and he speaks to other characters harshly because he see's himself as higher up than them.



This photo of J.R Ewing can show us a lot about his character, he is pointing at his huge house behind him and he has a big smile on his face. This could suggest he is very proud of his wealth and isn't afraid to show it either. 

we know the character is middle aged because he still works however, we are unsure on his background, he is following in his fathers footsteps, this can tell the audience that his father was also a rich man so he would had have wealth throughout his whole childhood.
