Whacked

***This review may contain spoilers*** It is very scary story. Ithink he was very tired. Maybe, he collects many stresses. Golf course is a institution for many rich people. His job, collecting ball is very scary operation. So, I think because he continues to work excessively, his heart was broken. In Japan, there are many incidents like this story. For example 10 years ago, in Akihabara, the man troubling in his job, kill 7 people. Also, there are many death which is known as "Karoshi". So, I think the government or the company should think about workers more. If there are recreations for workers I think he may not behave like that.

The first scene of this film is strange. There are many people on the street and they fall down suddenly. After that, the scene changes to the place where a man works at a driving range. There are a lot of golf balls and he begins to feel the stress of the work. Finally, the man goes to the rooftop of a building. He gives vent to his anger by hitting golf balls. Many people that walk on the street get hit by the ball. A mystery of the first scene becomes clear with the last scene.

The film has no dialogue. However, there are he shouts of people and sounds of hitting golf ball. In addition, the film is a blank and white film. I thought that the way of filming has a result to make a terrible story and makes me interested.

I feel that it is terrible to burn with the desire for revenge. Specially, there are many people who has stress of work in Japan. For example, it is said that there are a moral harassment and sexual harassment at their place of work. However, I noticed that the stress of work is felt by all the countries of the world, and I thought it is horrible to lead to murder.

In the beginning of the film, commuters and tourists on the streets in New York City suddenly fall down to the ground one after another. This opening is eye catching. I wondered what will happen next and why.

An interesting thing about this movie is that film makers gave the dull protagonist an element of horror. He does not intend to kill somebody but he does anyway for his own good. Moreover, because people do not pay much attention to such a dense person, nobody notice what causes this kind of supernatural. The feeling of terror is even more emphasized by the siren of ambulances echoing all over the city. First audiences hear simple siren noises, but when they hear them in the last of the film, there are two types of noises mixed; noises of siren and applause. By the contrast of beginning at the end, the director succeeds in messing viewers' mind; you would feel like laugh at the ridiculous cause of death as well as be horrified by the innocent murderer.

I watched this movie and I think that the theme of this film is stress society. We can grasp the hero in this movie has the anger and dissatisfaction to his environment by his expression. He receive attacks from people who see only backs figures that do not know who is it. Then he seems to be frighten by their attacks. However, he finally does like them indiscriminate and is delighted. Surely he is the weak in the society and he may feel joy by doing something as the strong. The most interesting point of this movie for me is that the first scene is connected to last scene. We never know the meaning the meaning at the beginning of the scene by first time but it is not until we watch the last scene that we understand it. It just like a solution of puzzle. This work is described his one day with dissatisfaction and worker struggled with such a stress everyday.

This is a movie with no dialogue, only an image and music, so we need to guess intension of a story from the images. This is the story of a man who work in a driving range and pick up golf balls. There is change of scene. In a town, many people is walking. Suddenly, one people collapses on the spot because something hits her, no people, something. This thing repeats and some people is knoked by something. At last, we understand what thing hit many people had. It is a golf ball. Why we understand it that a golf ball rolls across a road after people collapse. There is change of scene. A man who work in a driving range hit a golf ball from the roof top to the town! Finally we understand that people collapsed on the spot being hit by a ball hit by a man. I was surprised by a sincerity and this movie makes me nervous and interesting.
