    Scary but Profound

    I think a main theme of this short movie is revenge. This movie describes what revenge really is so clearly. There are many meanings and many kinds of things when people think about revenge, but actually, revenge is doing something to give someone bad effects which is the same as bad effects someone gave me. I could realize that again from this movie. When I saw the first scene of this movie, I couldn't understand what's happening, but at the end of this movie I knew there are bad effects which a man, he is a main character, is giving people. The mans revenge is scary but it's beyond my expectation, so I think this movie is interesting and so profound. There's no dialog and main character is only the man. However, viewers can understand what a revenge is, the reason the man wants to revenge, and above all, situation that he drunk with ecstasy for success with his revenge.

    Good

    In the beginning of this movie, a lot of people fall down and many ambulances resound with sirens. The audience don't know why it happens. It is a good way to attract the attention of the audience. This movie was made in by black and white, but we can understand the situation which is an emergency. Then the scene changes suddenly. The face of a man slides on full screen. I was surprised at it. It is an impressive scene. The audience can see only his face first, so we don't know what happens. They know that he is uncomfortable. They know what happens gradually. At the end of the movie, unexpected result happens. This movie attracts viewers' attention until the end. The way of making movie is so great. If the audience stops watching the movie, they can't understand the beginning of it and the relationship between the beginning and the end.

    Amazing

    People fall down one after another on the street. They are not injured or ill, so they are just walking or taking a picture. When I watch the scene for the first time, I am surprised and I feel anxiety. Why people fall down? In the next scene, there is a man who works hard in a golf course. He gathers golf balls driving a car. He is stressed out by his job. He wants to take revenge on society. He goes to a building and goes up the rooftop of the building after he finishes his job. He takes revenge on society in a surprising way there. I can understand the reason why people fall down on the street when I watch the last scene.

    Everyone feels stresses every day. However, I think we should not take revenge on society like him. If you are stressed, you should reduce stress in a good way, for example, eating your favorite foods, singing songs you like, or taking exercise.

    Feel refreshed!

    This short film is made in 1997. The genre of this film is "revenge movie". At the begging of the story, many pedestrians suddenly fall down, and ambulances drive. This film's major character is a man, who works at a golf club. He looks exhausted and frustrated because of his work. In order to relieve his stress, he takes a surprising action.

    I was surprised to know why pedestrians fall down on the streets. Viewers are not able to understand why they fall down on the street. However, after watching the film, you can figure out the reason. In my opinion, this film was elaborated because in the scene of pedestrians falling down, you can recognize some golf bowls on the streets, which is the hint to understand this movie. Of course, it should be difficult to find a little golf bowl on the streets, but after watching it, you will be able to recognize them. That is why you can enjoy this film twice. In addition to this, I love the story. Because of a variety of reasons, such as relationships, crowded cities, depressing news, people should feel frustrated. However, when you watch this film, you can feel like relieving some stress, so I do want those who feel irritated to watch the film.

    Fearful but comical.

    This short film was made in 1998 and is a black and white film. At first this film makes viewers ask, "What is going on?" It starts with the mystery of people suddenly dropping to the ground in the middle of New York City. Then the story focuses on a man, who looks tired, depressed and irritated. He works at a golf club and it seems like his stress comes from where he works. Each time a ball hits his golf cart, the more irritation builds up inside him. As the story goes on the more questions come up. What does this man have to do with the strange thing going on in the city? The film overall is silent and has a tense atmosphere, however it ends with a very surprising result. It's only a five-minute film, but at the end it reveals the truth to the mystery of collapsing bodies!
