The films gave me some scary thoughts. I know we were all going to end up dead, whether if it’s under the ground or ashes in the ocean, it doesn’t matter much. However, what scares me was not the death being presented. It is the idea of seeing other people’s loved ones hanging onto life with tubes and machines. My grandma said if she was going to be like that and suffer, she might as well choose death. The film makes me appreciate the doctor and nurses even more. They face life and death every day that sometimes walking into an emergency room with an injured finger doesn’t seem like much of an issue anymore.
Other than the sad and emotional topic, I noticed how the camera has been shakey for the first few scenes and throughout. At times like these, the shakey camera actually adds to the entire film experience rather than taking away from it. The shaking of the camera promotes and increases the sense of nervousness in the audience. I had to stop and speed up the video when the doctor and family members talk about the patient because I couldn’t bear to watch. In addition to that, I noticed how personal close up of family members and doctors use the rule of thirds. Overall, the film is very hard to watch yet spoke the facts of life and death.
