Today, I watched a very interesting film in my lecture class. A short film, directed by Sima Urale, was about a story of a Samoan family. The people in that family din't talk to each other much through the whole film.
We could sence what was going on through the whole film without understanding the lanuage they spoke and the words which were displayed in the film. The reason of that she didn't make the subtitle for the Samoan was she wanted to emphasise the communication between people. In the film, we didn't hear much of their conversation but every sound they have made. For example, the sound when the little boy was using the comb and the sound of opening a can of coke and even we could hear them swallowing things.
Another reason that I like this film is it actually can make me feel really sad and angry by just looking at their body language and the sound. Although they don't speak much, but we still can totally understand their emotions. I feel very sad for the children that their parents don't really taking care of them. I'm so pround of the eldest son. I can tell he loves his little sisters and brothers very much from his behavior. Actually, I think taking care of children are their parents responsibility. If you are not a conscientious parent than why do you give birth to your child?
