Film Review #11

This week I watched a short film called The Desk. The film is about a socially rejected teenage boy that meets a new girl that he befriends. In the beginning of the film, the boy is lonely and when he goes to one of his classes, he writes "hi" on his desk. The next day when he goes to that class, he realizes that someone has responded to his greeting by writing another "hi" on the desk. Throughout the film, the boy is shown with a pep in his step as he and the other person writing on the desk become closer friends. There is then a minor plot twist in the film that I'm compelled to leave as a mystery. Overall I think the film was very intersting. There were a lot of really nice POV shots that helped convey the character's emotions and also allowed the viewers to follow what was happening in the story.  I think the film had a very indie flair to it. I really enjoyed the film and I would totally reccomend others watch it.
