The Game- Suspense/Mystery

In the first two minutes, there is an old tape being played back of a party being thrown in the garden and backyard of a very wealthy mansion. It seems to focus on a boy who is next to his dad and shows the boy having fun on what appears to be his birthday party. The boy is very young but is dressed up in a suit and at one point holds a baby in his arms who seems to be his little brother. There are many people at this party and there are even a group of clowns who came to perform in front of the kids. The lighting during this sequence was very bright, and this could be to show that the event took place at a time of happiness and innocence. In the background, there is incidental music, which is a calming piano tune that helps set the mood. The budget for this film was 48 million dollars and the box office was 110 million. It has not won any awards but I think it deserves at least one.
