Spilt water:
A story of a family trying to continue with normal life; a daughter and mother buy the deceased father a melon to put on his grave (it was his favourite fruit), this is shot closely making you feel like the third wheel of the family in retrospective you feel like you are following them; the melon is significant for this piece as the deceased fathers spirit walks past and says "mmm smells good"
from just watching this i thought about the melons significance of being able to bring the father back somewhat for a brief second and then kept thinking about the afterlife and how things connect;
so i personally think this piece is incredibly thought provocative and kept me on my toes.
the storyline also follows the mother being harsh to her child to begin with and then when the father appears, she apologises. this made me think of the message that: parents sometimes losing their way with there children and forgetting they have responsibillities to them but something major always happens then they realise the error of their ways and begin to spend more time with their kin.
another message i got from this was that of a question "perhaps the dead do watch over us?"
to say the least spilt water is a very captivating short.
