The Life Walk (2010)
This film is two films in one. The second half is well worth the wait.
This film is really two films in one and I especially enjoyed the second one. The first story is a delivery sequence that aims to capture the excitement and humor of a young couple giving birth for the first time. It is a bit long and the jazz score throughout the sequence creates a sense of anxiety that does not compliment the humorous, upbeat tone of the scenes. However, the actors performances are solid and the production value is good.
The real story is the second portion of the short. It is a very thought-provoking and moving tale about a father and son relationship. The nature of this relationship is a sharp contrast to the excitement of new birth. The filmmaker does an excellent job of quickly drawing viewers into the lives of these two very identifiable characters, and making us care. While this is a story about a father and son; moms, dads, sons and daughters will all identify themselves and relate to it. I really enjoyed this stroll through the walk of life, especially the surprising plot twist towards the end.
Keep the films coming, Deep Williams. You are an inspiration to us all.
