Where have I been all your life




This is the short film I showed to my class, I chose this film because I really enjoyed the dry sense of humour. It was put under the drama category so I made the assumption it was going to be a serious film, it was but it had elements of comedy and ended up to be nothing I expected it to be.
As the film opens we are introduced to the main character straight away we presume that he is disabled or his ability to do things alone is very small, the opening scene is shot in a car with him as the driver, his girlfriend seems to be the carer she is very patience with him and guides him to do thing, the lightening is natural and the background just a urban streets. As the story progresses we see that there is nothing wrong with the boy he is just sometimes incapable of doing things for himself and we soon catch on that his girlfriend is very similar, the film follows a story of a young man finding his dad after 23 years. The storyline is very serious but the characters reaction to him adds comedy for the audience, the films gives a twist that drags it away from the normal drama genre, at the end we discover that he has knocked on the wrong door and that man is not his father it’s the man at number 24. This is great ending to what was meant to be a predictable film.
