Review of Sundown

Sundown (I) (2021)
7/10
So many missed this perspective on the main character
26 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Most viewers apparently missed an important plot point. He was diagnosed with a tumor in his frontal lobe. Such tumors can cause changes to executive functioning, decision-making, personality, memory processing, emotion and impulse control, and understanding social situations and behaving appropriately. Viewers obviously know his 'pig hallucinations' are due to his brain cancer, but many don't make the connection to the actual behavior of the main character. Under this lens, the character isn't just someone that is dying and just says "screw it and everyone else" (which just makes him into a devolving sociopath). I hope those that missed this perspective can go back and see how he acts and reacts in the situations he is experiencing. Profound film experience.
