Jolly Roger

Jolly Roger really left us with more questions than answers. There was so much presented to us that we didn't quite get the general goal of the story: We.were.confused.😞

DELICIOUS

-We were so excited to see Paul Gambit handle the cinematography because he already does such a good job with music videos that there was no need to worry. The actors and settings were properly framed and the lighting gave off a natural effect, especially during the night scenes

-We liked how diverse the storytelling was: the scenes juggled between the present (Brume's confrontation with the police officers) and the past (Brume's relationship with his wife). We got to know more about Brume and his entourage

BLAND

-The sound engineering was sadly bad, almost felt like there was a noise removal effect

-Jolly Roger had many components that were not explained: Why did the film begin with 3 definitions of the word 'roger' when it only addressed one? Why was there a character wearing a gas mask as opposed to a regular mask? Why was Brume's living room all covered up in plastic? How did the infertility issue deepen the screenplay? Most importantly, what was the point of Brume passing out in the beginning?

All of these details left us confused about what the screenwriter wanted to project through Jolly Roger...
