Purpose of use	1. Sunset Boulevard :The screenshot is intended to represent a well known and significant scene in a well known and significant film. The scene is taken from the film's final moments and specifically addresses the characterization, direction and cinematography of the film. The scene is referred to in other sections of the article but it is placed in the section that discussed reaction to the film, as the scene has become a recognizable image for this film, to the point that it has been referenced by pop culture and named as one of the most memorable scenes in film history. ie this scene/image has grown in significance in a manner somewhat disproportionate to the film itself, and this scene is often regarded as an entity in its own right. The inclusion of such a key image from this film enhances the comprehensiveness of the article. 2.
