Wasp (2003)
My thoughts;
This film was intense... I am feeling sad, very disappointed at the same time. These four children are living in a home where the only thing to eat is sugar, and that is because the only other thing to eat is moldy bread. They are very messy, dirty children, just looking at them in the beginning I am feeling disgust, and pity. But unfortunately this is the case in some households in the world, and it is unfortunate. This woman desperate for a social life? Now that doesn't seem fair to me, these kids are groaning and whining for some food, and this Zoe is spending the only money, the change she has, on beers in a pub. Leaving these kids outside, in a bar parking lot. They are left so she can talk to this ex-boyfriend, I am more disgusted at the characters at this point. But this film was amazing, the drama, and the reality of the characters in this film, the children everything was extremely realistic, and well played. Not too much music throughout the film, but that wasn't really noticeable now because I was so intrigued with the drama of the film. This was a great film.
Gasman (1997)
My thoughts;
I too was surprised by Ramsay's "thorough understanding" of a child's mind and feelings. Gasman was a good description of a Little girls relationship with her father. Her rivalry with another little girl, who looks quite similar, and is of the same relative age; the two in a sort of competition for the fathers lap. Not being able to 'share' her father she begins to pull her rivals hair. In this film the railroad is a symbol of the fathers long toiling life, his being torn between his two families/lives. I am sort of wondering, what the two sons, they kind of just walk and are in the sides of the shots, not really characters but props, but I cannot quite figure out what they are doing/ what purpose they are sharing.
