Whacked

*this review may contain spoilers*

I would like to talk about"Whacked!". The sirens of police cars, and some people are lying on the road. This is the first scene of the movie, from which it is difficult for me and you to understand what happened. A man works for a golf course gathering many many golf balls using a car. Some people playing golf pitch balls to him or his car. Then his face clouds over. I think he builds up stress little by little, by pitching people. Finally, when he is about to finish his work, a golf ball flies by him. I would be angry and pitch back the ball if I were in his place. But he do nothing, just leaves there with some balls. In the last scene, he arrives at a roof of a building, and then he starts to play golf. He swings at balls and balls fly away downtown. One ball hits a man and he falls down. After a time, there is the sirens of police cars, and some people lying on the road. I was surprised and interested in the movie, especially its idea. I hope he could manage to get away from police.

People fall down one after another on the street. They are not injured or ill. What is happening? Is this an accident? This strange situation makes us feel anxiety. In the next scene, there is a man who works hard in a golf link. He seems to be under great stress. We often suffer many kinds of stress in this society. However, he looks wrong. Though these two scenes are closely connected, we cannot realize it until we finish watching this movie. This kind of movie makes us excited, uneasy or impatient and want to know what happens next. In this movie, we feel anxiety in the first scene and in the next scene, we are left in confusion by the man. I really recommend this movie. Through watching this movie, we should think about how fearful the stressful society is!

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.

There is a man, who works in a golf course. His job is cleaning up the golf course. He seems to feel stress or is bored in his job. Meanwhile, in the town, people face danger. He plays golf to change his tired mind. However, it is just a beginning of accidents. Nobody knows that, even him.

He plays golf and seems very happy or refreshed, but in the town... He mistook to select a place for golf. He just want to work off daily stress, but his action causes terrible disasters. What an ironic result this is! His action is certainly going a little too far.. However, I can understand his mind. People in the town don't do any bad thing, but I think they are the stress that he felt. In other words, they are personifications of the stress that he felt. It's a funny short film when I watch in the third person. It's bad to accumulate stress, and when we refresh our mind, we should do in moderation.

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.
