Film Review - Breath

This is experimental film is only about 10 minutes long, and there was no lines in the film. This is an unusual way of making film. But I think in this way, the audience can have more their imaginations for the film, and different people will have different ideas after they have watched this film. As the director only give us image and music, in some scenes, in order to understand what’s happening, we need to image the lines by ourself. Thus, it’s a different film for different people. For me, this is a film about a man’s feeling after he lost job. At the beginning of the film, the man walked quickly out of a busy subway, with a tension music and clock sound, I think he was rushing to his office. In one of the scene, the image was continually  swiping between a boy is playing violin and the man is playing violin. I think director want to use this scene to show us that, the man felt stress from the company and the society, so he want to be a child again, and peacefully play violin, without any stress from this society. But, he need to back to the reality anyway, he need to go to work. Another interesting scene is when he was in the office, he found his colleague is a chicken head people, and his boss is a pig head people. I think the director want to lampoon his colleague and boss through a very visional way. Then the man got fired, he felt lost, but after he became convinced, he felt relief. After all, I think this is a film showing the inside feeling of the people are living in the busy city.
