Rather than thinking about their health, money is the only thing they can think about. As they go further and further on to find the treasure they start to break up as a group and everything starts going wrong. The group gets smaller as one of the characters decides to head back and the other three are continuously arguing about the treasure. This shows to the audience the effect of which greed has on some people and what lengths they will got to for money.
Key Micro-Features:
A key micro feature in the film Numb is performance, especially for the brother and sister duo in the film. Since the audience first sees the two characters they seem suspicious or people who would be up to no good. However as the film goes on the audience finds out they mis interpret the characters and they turn out to be very similar to the husband and wife duo. going further on in the film the characters become more alike as their greed for the treasure increases. As the idea of finding the treasure starts to fade the brother and sister duo start to become more like the people we first see. They start to lose the audiences trust and become more violent. The performance is important because the audience is made to question who has the right intentions in the film and who they should be rooting for. The performance is also important as it helps the audience decide who their sympathy should go to.
Another key micro-feature in this film is mise-en-scene, specifically location. The location is important because it adds to the danger and suspense within the film. The four characters are in the middle of no where in deadly weather. Usually snow isn't seen as dangerous in films, but in Numb they show what could truly to happen to people who under estimate the weather. The location makes a seemingly easy task more difficult.
