'Slap' - Nick Rowland (2015)

Poster


Film Title: 'Slap'
Director: Nick Rowland 
Genre: Coming of age
Year: 2015
Length: 25 minutes

My expectation: 
I believed that the film would focus on a person being bullied by a group of people. 

However, it was far more complex than that. It followed the story of a boy who wanted to be something that society wouldn't let him be. This touched me as I felt that I began to understand the internal struggle this man was facing, and the damage society has done him.


What I liked: 
I liked that the film tacked an issue that many cannot relate or understand. I felt that I because educated as I watched the film as I began to understand his struggle. 


What I didn't like: 
I didn't like the abrupt ending as it ended on a solemn note which could be seen as demoralising for someone watching in the same situation. However, it did highlight the need for change and the importance for acceptance. 


Anything I may use?: 
I want to take an issue that needs to be more widely understood.
