Lara was devastated after her father’s disappearance which led me to believe that she is strong willed by how her character is performed throughout the movie script. In addition to Lara’s missing father figure, she is left with reminiscent memories and later has a dream of her father who hints to her where to find the key to “the triangle of light.” In the morning Lara finds an object that resembles a clock and since she isn’t too familiar with clocks she takes it to be reviewed by Mr. Wilson who is played by Leslie Philips. Lara gives some background information about the clock referring back to “the triangle of light” but Wilson disregards her claim and he later reveals her name to the illuminati member Manfred Powell regarding the clock hoping Manfred can obtain this clock device. Lara carries on trying to figure out what the device is used for when she gets a letter from her father detailing the usage of the clock and its importance to retrieving the two halves of the “triangle of light.” The triangle of light is emphasized as a powerful object that has the capacity of mass destruction and also has the ability to travel through time and space. Moreover, the characters find themselves in Cambodia fighting over the pieces of the triangle that her father requested her to destroy due to its destructive potential. Lara is

The movie is set within a short space of time (almost real time) in which we see Four of the Six active members of a jewelry heist gone wrong dealing with the repercussions of their crimes. Amongst them is Mr. Orange, or, Undercover Cop Freddy Newendyke, as he’s revealed to be toward the end of the movie. He is the Undercover Cop, The Rat that everyone is talking about. Orange single handedly destroys their operation and essentially Joe Cabot’s criminals-for-hire business seeing as he died by gunshot in the end. However the operation costed Orange his life, or presumably so. That’s something I’ll get to later.

“You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” What pill would you take? The film, The Matrix, mirrors Plato’s allegory. They revolve around the concept of imprisonment of the mind. In other words, a slave, when a person’s mind is taken from reality. To further my explanation, they are controlled to believe that they are free. Although, they are not free, because they are living a life that’s not real.

The storyline of Tomb Raider (2013) contributes to Lara Croft’s depiction as a dynamic, believable character. Previously, Croft bravely dived into unknown locations and ruins unflinchingly; the same cannot be said about her portrayal in 2013. Croft is unwillingly tossed into the dangerous environment of the island of Yamatai and must fight for her survival without the opportunity to doubt her instincts. The plot opens with a shipwreck onto an uncharted island, with Lara and her acquaintances immediately exposed to the savagery of its natives. It is the spontaneous struggle between staying alive by any means and maintaining old morals that does not play a part in the old Tomb Raider series, yet plays a crucial role in the growth of Lara within her latest installment.
