Rubber is a French film is by Quentin Dupieux and is by far the strangest movie I have ever seen. The elements of screenplay structure in the opening act were utilised effectively. In fact they were in my opinion move obvious than myself and viewers are used to. This is because straight away in the opening scene the viewers know the location and time of the story. This was done by a variety of shots; including extreme long shots, long shots and medium close up camera. The films "no reason" concept is first shown suddenly by the sheriff before the viewers are even able to encounter the main protagonist, which is a car tyre. Even though the tyre “Robert” is not a human being, the director has used personification in giving him human-like characteristics. This can be distinguished as we are shown Robert's journey as he travels from the junkyard, which is his “place of birth”. Something that also helps with understanding Robert’s desire is the soundtrack. It is so effective in fact that we can visualise how lonely he is. This opening scene was adequate in utilising the basic film structures for the rest of the film. Not only were the essentials of main characters, time and place were introduced but the meaning, sympathy and potential to develop a strong blog throughout the movie was also prepared.
