Movie Analysis (Still Wylde | A Short Film about The Ups and Downs of Pregnancy)

 




Written and Directed by Ingrid Hass


STORY AND THEME

The film made me feel emotional seeing how life was tough for Gertie Wylde and her boyfriend Sam and the challenges they faced relating to pregnancy. I was engaged at the beginning of the movie when Gertie Wylde requested for five different pregnancy test kits at the supermarket. I will summarize the story as the challenging Pregnancy situation in the life of two young couples. The central message of the story talks about the complexity of life in challenging moments and how people deal with challenges around pregnancy and love life. In the movie, I experience and unexpected surprise when Gertie Wylde bought alcohol at the supermarket. I asked myself why she will drink alcohol even when facing such a challenge.




CHARACTER AND PERFORMANCE

The characters were very developed and played their roles very well in terms of how they expressed their emotions towards the situation. Both Gertie Wylde and Sam stood out positively for me and they both had compelling relationship that grabs attention and interest.






CINEMATOGRAPHY

The cinematography was on point. The use of close-up shots to show the characters expressions stood out for me while the effective use of lighting and framing made the film very lively to watch and communicated very well.



SOUND AND MUSIC

The strong soundtrack at the beginning of the song set the pace  of the film and evokes interest. The soundtrack used in the second scene shows how emotional Gartie Wylde was concerning her pregnancy. The sound effects used were relating to the dialogue in the film. I was not much impressed with the film score used for the film. I feel a better soundtrack would have been better.







OVERALL IMPACT

My expectation was not really met because I was thinking at the end of the movie I will see Gartie Wylde and Sam carrying their own child but that didn't happen. The weakness of the film was about the film score, I find it not to be the best for the film. The film evoked sad emotion at the scene where Gartie Wylde was crying bitterly in the washroom. I will recommend this film to any young lady or gentleman going through tough times in life particularly and also couples facing challenges in pregnancy or childbirth.








STORY BREAKDOWN

Protagonist & His/ her Goal: The Protagonist was Gartie Wylde and her goal was to become pregnant and give birth.

Antagonist & His/her Goal: The Antagonist is the pregnancy challenge Gartie Wylde was facing.

Between Laughter and Loss: A Review of Still Wylde”

Image
  Watching Still Wylde was honestly a mix of emotions. It made me laugh in parts, but it also hit pretty hard emotionally. It felt really real and personal, like something that could actually happen to anyone, which made it easy to connect with. Right from the beginning, the film got my attention. The characters and their dialogue felt natural and honest, so I was immediately pulled into their world. It didn’t take long at all to get into it. If I were to summarize it without giving too much away, I’d say it’s about a couple dealing with an unexpected situation that challenges their relationship. The whole story takes place inside a car, but somehow it still feels full and emotionally deep. I think the main message of the film is that life doesn’t always go the way we expect, especially when it comes to things like love and loss. And sometimes, people deal with those things in messy, complicated ways, and that’s okay. There was definitely a twist I didn’t see coming. It added a...

THE PUNISHER: DIRTY LAUNDRY [BOOTLEG UNIVERSE]

Image
Directed by Phil Joanou Written by Chad St. John Produced by Adi Shankar   STORY AND THEME It felt like a slap across the face with a brick of tension, grit, and shock justice. Right from the beginning, I had this feeling of impending doom that something violent and terrible was going to erupt at any moment—and when it did, it was somehow satisfying. I experienced a weird mix of unease and exhilaration. It starts with a tired guy just doing his laundry in a hard, downturned neighborhood. No thumping music, no strobe light flashes, just the drab hum of ordinary existence laid over shots of vicious street violence. That tension unsettled me but in a good way. It disturbed without going too far. Then the emotional gut punch watching innocent people especially a little boy get harassed and demeaned in broad daylight. I was angry and helpless initially, because the guy everyone is familiar with as Frank Castle just stands around and does nothing, like he doesn't care. I remember think...

Light My Fire

" Light My Fire": A Smoldering Masterpiece of Restrained Fury and Tender Truth DIRECTOR: BOBB BARITO  In the often noisy landscape of short films, Bobb Barito’s "Light My Fire" arrives like a controlled burn, quiet, intense, and leaving an indelible mark long after its brief runtime. This isn't just a story told; it's a raw nerve exposed, a profound exploration of paternal rage, fragile love, and the monumental courage required for true compassion. We meet Miles on a Fourth of July simmering with more than Southern heat. News of his daughter's hurt ignites a primal fury within him. Barito masterfully steers the narrative away from predictable vengeance, instead plunging us into the suffocating internal landscape of a man whose protective instinct has curdled into dangerous anger. The film’s brilliance lies in its central, gut-wrenching question: Is this blaze of rage truly protecting his daughter, or is it consuming the very love he seeks to defend? Ba...
