The big shave is one of my favourite pieces of short film, its directed by Scorsese, this is a simple but incredible short film which shows Scorseses personal style of being brutal and violent.
the big shave is a story about a man simply having a shave in the bathroom in a very clinical environment; but taking the shaving too far, to the point that hes cutting his flesh and bleeding everywhere.
this is an underline hint at vietnam, at the pointless-ness and stupidity of the war and the ridiculous massacres they have inflicted on countless people in vietnam.
the shots are as clinical as the environment and show how precise the man knew he was shaving, precisely wanting to bleed and inflict pain on himself.

the sucess of this short film is world renowned as many ameture film makers have found themselves imitating the big shave and posting their different renditions of it on youtube for world wide exibit.
