The Led Shoes

While I thought many of the visuals were interesting in this film, I did struggle with it. I felt the film to be very inconsistent and was very distracted by its absence, even in visual style. The biggest complaint I had with it was that how the film presented time was very disorienting. At first, with the women, we see her jumping out the window in linear time. Shortly thereafter, the film is reversed and we see what she was doing before she jumped out the window. However, after a few minutes of that, the film again reverses its time and appears to move forward, yet in an alternate timeline. The problem is that it just doesn't present an altered scenario of what might have happened, but rather takes events that we know to happen in the future and then progresses with those future events in a past time. While mildly interesting, I felt it was too confusing and didn't seem to serve the film any more than just not manipulating the time scheme. I thought the diving suit was an awesome element to add though. The love between this woman and the gigantic man just seemed overwhelming and I got a very Romeo and Juliet type feel from it. I also like the footage of the little girl playing with the chalk, but again, had trouble connecting it to the love story.
