The film's initial scenes, bursting with lush colours and the beauty of nature, serves as a striking contrast to the subsequent transition into the greys and darkness of urbanisation. This dramatic shift not only highlights the beauty and tranquility of the natural world but also the bleakness and isolation inherent in our constructed environments.
The narrative is both relatable and moving, inviting viewers to sympathise deeply with the characters. For this reason I really enjoyed it as it’s simplicity didn’t limit it's ability to influence the audience and in the end it leaves you shocked but with an awakened sense. I think the characters could have had a bit more personality to really build that emotional connection as around the middle of the film I found I had to try to remain connected and keep my interest.
Despite its simplicity, the film's design is compelling. The minimalistic approach at the beginning enhances it's charm, allowing the narrative to gain depth and significance as it progresses. This evolving really helps me see more depth in the characters' journey and helps the film's central message. This evolution really builds to make the story more effective, making the mood shift in the room which is so much more noticeable as the story developed. You could feel the atmosphere change, making me feel like so many people held the film in the same regard as me.
I also really enjoyed how the music and visuals enhance the characters' humanity, making their experiences more touching and more effective. I found it impressive how the film conveys such depth without dialogue, using only visual and sound cues. It is a powerful film with multiple layers of interpretation, leaving a lasting impact on viewers.
