Plot Analysis:
The plot of this short film highlights the views and thoughts of today’s youth.
There are five young people from different walks of life who express their
views on five different current, relevant topics. The five persons are: Payal
who is a fashion designer from Pune, Rahul a gay photographer, Shivani a 21
year old T.Y. B.Com student who has just ended a relationship and is now
pregnant, Martin a 29 year old free thinker and Peter a young man who is HIV +ve.
The topics they share their view about include: relationships, God, lifestyles,
family and regrets. The climax of the movie highlights the underlying need for
love in a passionate appeal from Peter to be loved and cared for.
Technical
Analysis: The camera work is quite good. Though the settings are repeated,
the different angles get you thinking that it might be a different place and
this keeps your interest piqued. The sound track is just right. It fills in at
the right times and matches the emotion of the scenes to perfection.
Sociological
Analysis: The problems highlighted are all youth issues. The method of
presentation is morally good. It gives the impression that no judgments are
being passed but the message is quite clear in the last line by Peter. The
shallowness and superficiality of the individual’s choices is also quite
evident in their choices and the reasons for these choices. There are varying
philosophies behind the various individual characters. Martin is a free
thinker. Payal believes in the maturity of the individual and common moral
standards.
Educational
Analysis: The film can be used to raise awareness among young
people of the pitfalls of the choices they make. It can be used to highlight
certain social issues, to form in the young healthy attitudes to life and to
make them realize the true source of happiness. Watching this film was an
enriching experience for me as it presented the essence of life as the need for
live, care and belonging.
