Cool short film about a preschool aged boy's experiences of disconnect.
Film was very good at evoking emotion. Very easy to relate to the boy and share his feelings. This was done effectively through editing, sound and the content shown. I particularly liked the repetitive montages that would play out between episodes, often reusing the same images/clips throughout the film. I would like to learn more about the possible symbology associated with certain images and themes within the short, definitely could use a second or third viewing.
On some level, film is representative of the culture and society in the world it originates. Why is this so? We, by nature, are a product of the world we inhibit.
I agree that the repetition of certain images added to the film-- particularly the scene of the back of the mother's car as she leaves every day. I believe it may have been the same shot, and it seems to reinforce Cyrus' feeling of having to watch the other children eat their afternoon snacks "over and over" again.
