black hole---human greed

The short film "Black Hole" is a short film made by Canadian Philip Sansom and Olly Williams, who shot music videos and commercials. The short film tells the story of an empty office building where almost everyone has finished get off work and enjoyed their own joy. At night, only the exhausted clerk, Charlie, was still standing in front of the copier, printing materials hard. Perhaps coffee was the only thing that cheered him up a little in this exhausting moment of near-collapse. Suddenly, a strange thing happened without warning. A sheet of A4 paper came out without any of the required materials, just a solid black ball printed on it. Charlie didn't care and put the piece of waste paper aside. When he put the coffee, the quilt fell into the black hole of the A4 paper. The strange black hole caught Charlie's attention. He tried to hang the paper on the vending machine. As a result, he successfully reached into the black hole and got the drink inside. This is, an evil thought flashed through his mind, thinking of a huge advanced safe, and finally, in the process of theft, his greed was exposed.
The film mainly uses close-up shots and close-up shots. At 24 seconds, close-up shots are used, which is to express the inner portrayal of the protagonist's discovery of secrets; it shows the greed of human nature in turn. The movement of the camera mainly pushes the camera. One of the scenes is to take the chocolate from the black hole. The male protagonist greedily looks for the next target. This is, he keeps his eyes on the door. The audience felt a strong temptation. At the same time, using the male protagonist's subjective perspective to look at the door made people feel the constant desire in his heart. At the end of the final short film, the camera was fixed on a door, and three cuts were used at the end. Cutting the shot to show the temptation of the door is not only a call to push the shot before, but also the director's examination of human desires.
The whole film is only 3 minutes short. Although it is a very small thing, it can not help but make us think deeply because of the small things, and the theme presented to us is very three-dimensional. After watching this film, you will feel that, in fact, all people are the same, and in society, objectively speaking, there is no inherent corruption and corruption. But it is not shy to say that in an environment and system that lacks constraints and supervision, any one of us can become a new corrupt bureaucrat. Anyone can become that little clerk who is planted in a black hole due to greed expansion. Given the current status of our country, it can almost be considered that way.
