Lord of War Opening Sequence

LORD OF WAR: The Life of a Bullet. Watch more top selected videos about: Entertainment, Bridget Moynahan

This opening sequence is taken from the film Lord of War which is about a man who sells and supplies guns and ammunition to people mainly in Africa. The opening is shot as a first person perspective but in fact it is taken from a bulletes perspective during it process of being manufactured and this opening is commonly know as "the life of a bullet". The music in this sequence is a non-diagetic sound as it shows hundreds of bullets being manufactured and then put into guns and fired which is a serious issue and appears to be quite gruesome in the end of the sequence whereas the song is quite upbeat and peaceful. Yet if you focus on the lyrics they tell a story about a man with a gun and it involves kids in which matches exactly to this opening so the sound of the music seems to be non-diagetic whereas the lyrics match the situation in the sequence.
