Vegas city lights are the oasis of the Nevada desert. For miles there is nothing. The roads are pitch black and the only sign of existence are the headlights on the other side of the road. Then the lights appear and draw everyone in. The line between morality and immorality is blurred, and the desire overcomes everything. Ocean's 11 symbolizes the blatant desirability of those Vegas city lights, and everything from the actors' wardrobe to camera direction emphasizes it. In "Ocean's" Vegas, Sin City is exactly that- a fast paced, bright blur through the metaphor of desire. Ocean's 11, which was released in 2001, is basically a heist movie. Eleven people decide to rob three major casinos in Las Vegas on a fight night, where money comes rolling into
Danny isn't only after money, but his ex-wife as well. Through out the whole movie, very elegant and class wardrobes are picked out to represent the life style that these con-artist "desire" for. The desire basically for anything, but in the movies case, fine living, which money, definitely, can bring. Although this movie doesn't really seem to have a message as its main objective, the theme definitely seems to be desire. The Geometric shapes, the straight, sharp edges, can symbolize the type of lifestyle the Ocean's 11 desires. The black he wears can also represent his charcter, very calm and subtle and his speech is very slow paced, as if he were dead and very boring character. Hence the black suites all the time. Terry Benadict, is the owner of the casino that "Ocean's 11," is raiding. The color choice in wardrobe as well as lines and shapes in the movie can definitely bring out the point of desire the movie is trying to bring. Tess, Benadict's girlfriend as well as Danny Ocean's ex-wife is first presented in a bright red dress. Also noticed is that Rusty's wardrobe is always a much more lighter color than Danny's, representing that Rusty symbolizes Danny's conscience, his right hand man; representing more of a saintly character than Danny. Also the straight lines can imply fast pace of the movie and the Ocean's 11. He's always wearing black which helps with his "bad guy," character in the movie, although he's really not the bad guy.
