"The Door" Questions
The movie "The Door", directed by Juanita Wilson and produced by James Flynn, is a short film based around the historical event of Chernobyl. The movie focuses on one family in particular that is comprised of a mother, father, and daughter. The film starts out with the father breaking into their old abandoned apartment in order to steal a door. He encounters a close call and is almost caught by an authoritative figure taking the door from the deserted compound. He takes the door to his new dwelling place and continues to go through his day by day routine. He shortly figures out that his daughter has been affected by the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster. The motion picture ends when with the daughter dying and a group of individuals, including the family, carrying her body on the door. The overall mood of the film was primarily sad and depressing. There is very little dialogue which allows the viewers to interpret it more openly. The way the movie is shot makes it more sorrowful and bleak. The best scene in the short film was the beginning where the father is "stealing" the door from his own apartment. The film was alright but it wasn't exactly my style because it was too sad and depressing, other than that I thought it was well made and conveys a very clear sad emotion.
