Short Film Blow Out

Two Men
1.  In 50 words or less tell what the film was about.
The film is about why you never stop two men running down the street.  It goes in to all of the different scenarios that run through a man's head about why they could be running, and you never stop them because you just never know.
2.  What was more important/memorable/significant?  The plot or the characters?  Why?
I think that the plot was more significant because we didn't really get to know the characters.  It was the message that was more important because it was told us about the type of life they lead and could have applied to anyone.
3.  What did you take away from the film?
I took away the understanding that some things aren't for us to judge, because we never really know why someone is doing what they're doing.  If you try to stop them, you could be making a mistake.

Tokyo Glow
1.  In 50 words or less tell what the film was about.
The film is about the fast pace life in Tokyo, but shows the light man from a crosswalk sign slowly walking through it all, wearing all white.  It ends with him seeing the light up girl from the ladies bathroom sign, he pauses, and it ends.
2.  What was more important/memorable/significant?  The plot or the characters?  Why?
I think that the plot is more important because the character (the crosswalk man) is mostly important because he shows the slower pace of how fast the world around it is going.  The message is mainly about how fast the world around us is moving.
3.  What did you take away from the film?
The world around us moves incredibly fast, and it's important to slow down and appreciate the beauty of everything around us.  It has a very dream-like feel because it shows the light-up man walking around the city.
