At the time of the first post on this film, I really didn't know what to talk about with this film. It was just extremely peculiar and very different, to say the least. After reading some of my peers' blogs about "The Big Empty," I gained a little bit of insight into the film. The movie is definitely on an abstract level. Other than its less than conventional topic, I'm not exactly sure why we watched the film. Was it for cinematic reasons? Anyhow, I wasn't overly impressed with it and I'm ready to leave this film in the past and move ahead. If you're in the mood to think, I would recommend watching it. It's defnitely a short film that you could ponder for days.
