When I think of a film I like to imagine it in shapes that way I can visualize the piece of work as a singular entity. The shape is very specific because it influences what it stands for. Ship of Theseus was spherical, rounded and solid. The extraordinary thing is so were the individual stories, all fit snugly beside each other to form a consciousness which was thematically and singularly present. The three protagonist in their respective scenarios displayed real and path driven lives which they orchestrated with conviction and belief of it being true to their own nature. They practiced that truth honestly after all they had lived a considerable portion of their lives perfecting that lifestyle. Then the tragedy of loss struck. What happens when the things that make us who we are fall away? What does one do when current existence does not fit in the comfort of his or her longer existence? The silence of introspection were the pauses through which the film is woven. The filmmaker gave the ability to each character to stop briefly for a moment of reflection. To observe their existence and the role they play in their meticulously crafted lives eventually to accept and understand the disruption and use it as a stepping stone to evolve into people who are meaningful post change. The spheres of their lives were dented and each acknowledged that disturbance and was able to perceive the all new dimension that it brought to their lives. It was the filmmaker’s authenticity and honesty with his subject that leaped out. His reflective insight found its way into the film, making it a wholesome and complete experience giving closure to each character and successfully finding the singular point upon which the viewer can meditate. Encourage cinema which gives more than it takes.
