Who Will Care?

A beggar, turned to become a drawing artist....

due to a pencil, due to a humilation, due to a girl....

"Who Will Care" is a short drama produced by my classmates few months ago.

Generally it receive postive comments from lecturers and students after screening.

One thing I wana clarify here....
~ I just write my review based on my personal opinion~
don't shoot me!!!

For me, the story is simple and normal.

If I'm not mistaken, the idea was came from Derique Gan and Andy Yong, who I don't expect them to write such an ordinary story.

I thought they can write a creative and freaking story.

But the result turn out to be good.

A harsh word to describe them is ~ they are not ambitious~

But a good way to decribe them is~ they are not greedy~

Other groups production seems to be "greedy"

They try to inject too much of things inside their story.

And it turned confusing or irritating.

Which is why, I say "Who Will Care?" is the best short drama among us.

No doubt!!!

She said, "Scram, can't even hold a pencil properly, you are destined to live like a dog!"

This line is so important to the story.

Because of her insult, he change!!!

The story fitted the 20minutes feature time just fine and well.

Not draggy, not overcooked.

Mr.Lim said the criss cross between the narrator and dialogue allows the viewers to have a change of mood from time to time.

I agree with him.

But one more thing that Mr.Lim didnt mentioned, is....

~the music~

The music is so beautiful, it melt your heart.

It keep on switching your mood, and playing around with your emotion.

And I admit, I nearly cried when I first watched this video during visited their editing.

Mr.Lim said the the film is clean. Shots, color, brightness is managed and controlled well.

But personally, I think it would be better if there is more varies of camera shots, angle and movement.

Ofcourse, as I mentioned earlier~ they are not greedy~ which is the good thing.

I underestimated their so called "normal" camera shots, which turn out to become "clean" camera shots.

Fishball boy, stationary shop Ma'am, the gangster (who is me), the drawing artist....

All of these small characters appeared in the right time.

It suit the mood, it suit the narration, and it suit the plot.

Miss Lim said there is Jack Neo taste in "Who Will Care?"

I say there are some Stephon Chow's humour inside.

Perhaps the story is simple, but how many chances do you have to see a movie that tell a story from beggar's life and point of view???

I can't recalled any movie.

Why Stephen Chow?

Some of the dialogue and camera shot looks alike.

Why I like "Who Will Care?"

because the message is good, and the story is very inspiring!!!
