Funny Games
1)How does the film break from expectations (genre/narrative/character)?
The bad guys live and don't get arrested. Nothing bad happens to them and they continue their weird games. The good people all die instead of surviving the reason for their death is completely pointless. The bad people actually talk to the camera which is not something which normally happens in these type of films.
What is he trying to make the audience think about the violence?
He is trying to make the audience think the violence is over-dramatised as you cannot see it and there are over the top sound effects. The leaves the audience creating the violence in their head rather than seeing it on the film.
Do you think it is intentional shock?
Yes it is intentional to scare the viewer and throw them out of their comfort zone.
