Three Women

Three Women is a short film about women in pain, struggling to make sense of their lives. It is a series of stories reduced to their emotional essence. This is a fictional piece but one that is also true. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/three-women

This film was about three different women talking about their struggle to make sense of their life. These women have bad things happen to them, like being left behind, but they still go on. They were going to do things, like get married, but they don't. They just keep living, having days pass by but not doing anything.

This film by Eric Maierson is made of fictional stories but are true to him. The strong imagery and soft but powerful words make the film seem like a depressing reality about time and life. There is no music, jut the interviews of the women, i think they do this so nothing distracts you from the words the women are saying. This shows that the film maker really wants you to listen carefully to the interviews. The interviews itself are very depressing, slow, and quiet. They quiet they are the more I want to listen, I think the film maker really wanted that. The imagery is still shots, each picture conveying what the women are saying and the feeling over all. Each picture is different but you can feel the same mood in every, loneliness and depression, you start to feel what the women are feeling. This film sends a message about letting life pass by and not doing any changes. The depressing feel made me want to get out and have fun today. I'm sure it will make you look at your own mortality and get you to do big things in your life, instead of letting days just pass by.

  1. I think she got a good understanding of what the movie was trying to show. She did good at analyzing the way the film maker shot certain scenes. overall I think she sounded professional and I enjoyed reading her interpretation on the film.
