Independent Short Film: Last Day Dream
May 23rd, 2009
I found this Independent Short Film recently and I was pretty impressed.
I should say up front that there is one usage of a word which some might find objectionable.
Here are some bulletpoints as to why I like it so much:
- Largely without dialogue
- Exceedingly short (It was entered into a 42-second Film Festival)
- Shows glimpses of typical life experiences (similar to this short film)
- First Person Perspective
- Moving soundtrack, in terms of instruments and pace
- I’ve confirmed that the man saying the objectionable word is Pauly Shore
One last observation: The composure first shot is almost identical to the final shot, which, although dynamically different, completes the story with perfect closure.
And something perhaps philosophical to consider: Life looks remarkably different depending on where you are in it, whether you are in the swing being pushed, or if you are the one pushing.
