The 70s were a busy time for Giallo films in Italy, with well over a dozen being released a year. The competition was certainly stiff, so you would need to take a different approach in order to rise above the other films. The Bloodstain Butterfly chooses to skip on the blood and focus on the police procedural process in catching a criminal. It's an interesting concept that worked in The Bloodstained Butterfly's favour.

However, this wouldn't be a Giallo without a few more murders to spice things up and throw a wrench in the whodunit answer. The film manages to keep the murders a mystery all the way to the blood end. Although, it doesn't make things easier for the viewer to guess what is going go down. Writer XXX threw in several red herrings, cheating spouses and mysterious glances to keep the viewer on their toes. Fans of bloody Giallo, with brilliant colour and glorious set pieces like Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace might end up being disappointed with The Bloodstained Butterfly. It is light on the blood and murder, with only three nearly bloodless murders taken place. This may make a Giallo fan grumble, but it would be a disservice to flick if you skipped it due to the lack of red plasma plastering the

There is also an imprint of the supposed homicidal murderer on one of the walls and the cash register has just been rung up at $8.75. The police believe that person C is the murderer from the hand position of the utensils/hand positions, the relation among persons B, D, and E, and the identification of the Y and X footprints.

The “Butterfly’s Tongue” is a film directed by Jose Luis Cuerda that transports us to Spain during the Second Spanish Republic and draws a clear and authentic image of the years before the civil war and the transition to it. The main focuses of the film are education, the new generations, and the continual battle (first "civilized" and then violent) between two completely contrasting ideologies for trying to control these two fundamental social elements. Cuerda masterfully manages the scenic positioning of her characters in several of the scenes to demonstrate this ideological struggle. An undoubted demonstration of this is the arrangement where the little Moncho (Manuel Lozano) is in the midpoint, while Don Gregorio (Fernando Gomez) and the

In both stories the butterfly dies, this is a key similarity to the plot of the movie and the short story because this would immensely change the plot and the structure of the movie. The butterfly is the main cause of most conflict in the movie, if this were to be changed, this would completely contrast the movie from the short story. The setting of the movie is in 2055 which is the identical to the short story, this similarity helps retain the futuristic storyline of the short story. Eckles is portrayed as a very nervous character in both the movie and the short story.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a script which falls somewhere in the middle of the Classical Design Triangle. It presents moments of causality in a non-linear temporal arrangement. The single protagonist, Jean-Dominique Bauby, is passive due to his affliction yet struggling with both his inner conflict to resolve his life’s choices and the external conflict to regain some semblance of a normal existence. Plot points for this script were not as clearly defined as they are in a script which fully utilizes the Classical Hollywood narrative structure. Some categories of the beat sheet were difficult to realize and therefore my interpretation at some points may be purely subjective and coerced.
