Great Film!

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2016)

I thought this film was VERY well directed and a particular moment at the end of the film shocked me in a good way! Throughout the whole film the protagonist had been close to death, and on the very last scene a close up is used to show his teary eyes as he see's his dead wife. The camera then stays on his face and a long duration is used which in my opinion kept my attention. The very last seconds before the film ends the actor looks straight at the camera, an extremely unconventional thing to do which is why I was so surprised by this occurring, however this worked so well I believe as the tears in the actors eyes along with the close up and directly addressing the audience made me feel slightly uncomfortable as I had been allowed to become attached to the character throughout the film, and now with him directly addressing me, it made me feel as if I needed to help the character in a sense as for me this was a very effective way to end this film as it kept me talking about it even after it had finished, as it was also a cliff hanger, so we don't know whether he died or survived. I would definitely recommend it to others, as the technique and camera angles used in the film have inspired and influenced me, which I may be able to use in my own short film.
