Gluttony..
17 May 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I was watching a channel while on the computer and when I looked up I was instantly intrigued. I couldn't stop myself from laughing. Even though it was 11 min. I felt like you could get a feel for each of the characters and understand somewhat where they are coming from. I might be looking to far into it but I saw it as an interpretation of one of the 7 sins, "gluttony". Each characters personality reacted differently to the sin. For some it was a competition, for others even if they did not want to eat anymore they went with the flow because everyone else was. At the end when the table keeps falling I also got the feeling of another form of Dante's inferno and all of these characters had sinned by gluttony in their previous life and now must suffer this inferno for eternity. The devil could have been the guy in the close-up at the end who repeats next floor over and over. Overall a great short!! Cinematography and miss-en-scene A++!!!
