Another film i watched today, this film really hit home with me, and I'll explain why at the end.
basic blurb - A Japanese man wakes up to find he has lost his memory of the past few days, so he rigs his camera to automatically take pictures throughout his day. 4 days later he reviews his pictures to find that everyday is exactly the same and he is living a completely repetitive life.
This film was very effective in the way it used it's shots. sticking mainly to wide shots to show the emptiness of the rooms around the main character. all the walls were bare and plain white, there was such a lack of identity within the character and spaces that he was a part of. there was no music and very little sound used in this film apart from a voice over, which exaggerates the lack of excitement in this mans life.
When his photos are developed, and he discovers what he does during the day. the question is posed, did he really lose his memory or was it simply that his days are exactly the same so he doesn't think he can remember, but actually he can?
the reason this film "hit home" for me, was because one of my biggest worries is that I'll end up having a life like this, no excitement, no creativity, no anything. could you imagine that?
