The Lead Shoes

This film was jarring. There were intriguing lens effects throughout it that made me wonder how to recreate them. I also enjoyed watching the varying ways in which the artist presented space. The score helped me form an idea of what the concept behind the movie was. The song was hard to understand at times but certain words stuck with me, especially "mother." At times I could hear marching drums in the background which reminded me of war. To me this film was about a man going off to war, represented by the giant scuba guy, and then returning to his mother either dead or in really bad shape. The sequence where the black stuff is spreading on many people's feet I think could have represented the concept of how a lot of people were affected by this loss and what had caused it. The scuba guy was so large in the beginning maybe because he was leaving home as a hero, but his grandness diminished upon his tragic return.
