This week I watched a short film called Skwerl. The film is a about a couple that has dinner together when the girlfriend character realizes her partner has forgotten her birthday. The best part about this short film is that it is not in real English. I think the intent of this short film was to demonstrate the way English speakers sound to those who speak English. Although the plot was crap, I think the concept is really cool and creative. In the begging of the film there are a few lovely close ups of the dinner being prepared. The lighting really helped create the illusion of a romantic dinner and the music faintly playing on the record in the background follows the intensity of the plot and helps viewers understand how to feel. I really liked the intent behind the short film and I think it cures a bit of wonder that ever English speaker has. I would totally recommend watching it.
