Whacked

'Whacked!' is a comedy short film that was made in 1998. Some people suddenly fall down, but no one knows why many people fall down. In another scene, a man works in a golf driving center and his job is collecting balls in a cart that golf players hit. During his work, his cart is hit by golf balls while he drives and he feels stressed every day. After work he brings golf balls and goes up to the rooftop of a high building. This short film has a big mystery regarding why people suddenly fall down, so the audience wants to know why this incident happens. This short film creates interest for us. I think you can enjoy this short film because it is an easy story to understand. Therefore, if you watch 'Whacked!', you can be excited.

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.

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.

I could not know what kind of genre this movie is or the story. I thought it was a Science Fiction or horror movie because people died suddenly, but it is not. I cannot understand the story even now. It seemed SF movie, on the other hand it seemed golf movie. Generally, there are some stories in a movie. I can understand what kind of stories there are in each movie. I can enjoy some stories at the same time, but, in this story, it is not clear how many stories there are, in my opinion, so I could not enjoy enough. However, the movie that the story is not clear like this is interesting. What I want to say is when the story is not understandable, people can imagine the story freely. I think it is one of the ways to entertain audiences. In my thought, there are not many movies like this in Japan, but there are a lot of movie that we can understand the story very easily.

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!
