BEARis cool but I don’t get the meaning of shooting this short film. It seems like a piece that can be used as an advertisement. As a short story, I would wonder the character arc of the main character and why this short film can touch the audience rather than that the audience just feel cool.
As for Blindspotting, I won’t watch this film if it’s not a class task because this kind of film is far from my life. Therefore, I really appreciate the opportunity to let me watch something new to me. Using of the hippop music is special and it’s also the director’s style which can be seen in his short films. I can feel the disatisfaction in this film. Many cruel facts are told through hippop and they’re not showed to the audience. Because of this, I don’t know as a person with different cultural background and different race, I can’t see exactly the dilema faced by many black people and I don’t know whether I should regard the story of the main character as a case by case situation or a group situation. I do feel many people from the community of the film would feel connected since the film is making voice for them and helps to shout out their dissatisfation. I believe every community needs such an exit and it’s interesting to see that film can take this role.
There are several important and impressive scenes in the film. One is that the little child gets the gun. Also, the setting of the story is creative. One character has 72 hours to be released. A white guy lives a life more like a black guy.
