Sick-Amour

This short little film was a balance of inspiring yet also stressful. It was stressful to learn all these issues that parking lots cause. Lack of water, heat from the asphalt, litter, lack of trees of the same species nearby, parasitic insects, soil imbalances, etc are all things I have never thought about. To me, trees are places where birds and animals sleep and live, but this film put more into perspective. For that I'm thankful. But, the stressful topic was harder to swallow when coupled with Joel tauber's nasally, urgent, high pitched voice. It honestly gave me so much anxiety and in such a short amount of time. I had to skip through at one point because it was too much to handle. I finished it because I wanted to know what happened with the tree and thankfully it had a happy ending. Otherwise it wiuld not have been worth it.
