Goodbye Mr Bojangles.
Directed by Ximan
Gray- Virgin Media Shorts
I decided to use the
theory of Todorov as I felt that it fitted this short film pretty much
perfectly.
·
The Equilibrium-
This part of the film
is where the characters are introduced, we learn a little bit about them like
here were as the little boy says ‘Mum’ It shows that the two children in the
shot are most likely brother and sister, the brother is being older and
responsible for the little sister by talking, we learn that they are young because
of the way that they speak to each other.
·
The Disruption-
I
think that the disruption in this piece is the little argument they have over
the flush, the girl gets very upset and we realize how the characters have
developed, the boy being older seems much more able to control his emotions and
is much more grown up then the younger girl. This means that their usual happy
chatter is replaced with a very upset tone.
·
The Confrontation-
The
confrontation here is the part were the girl is upset and the boy comforts her
telling her that it Is all going to be okay, he is therefore sorting the
situation out and even though the hamster is dead he is showing that they need
to move on, this also shows his maturity.
·
The resolution-
The
resolution here is when the boy flushes the hamster down the toilet, he is
solving the problem but at the same time it is showing that the girl and boy
are moving on from the Mr Bojangles.
·
The New Equilibrium-
I feel that the last bit is the new
equilibrium, they show a short animation of the hamster floating in a bubble t to
heaven, this means that he is going to a better place and everyone is moving on
and happy.
