Killer of Sheep
The movie entitled cause of death of Sheep by Charles Burnett in 1977 made a pregnant footprint in the movie world. Though it was a low-budgeted movie, it won the first prize at Berlin Festival in 1981. This movie is all about Stan and his family as they get by their life with financial and emotional problems. Stand works in a drubbinghouse to make his family live. It is a simple yet attackable story because it shows naturalism in the society. Many of us work hard but slight opportunities. The only thing that Stan felt happy is when he dances with his wife and chip in his daughters hands.There be only six characters and one significant setting in the story, which means that the movie is an in estimateent film. All the characters are connected with one another as they reveal their characterizations in the starting line of the story and donate their thoughts and perception of society as the movie ends. I can say that it is an advocacy film though it has no resolution in the e nd. As it shows the life of many population like Stan and his family, the music director depicts that present blank space of the society that needs to be taken cautiousness of. The movie shows that Stan is already numb with his life as a slaughter because he knows that he could not able to give his family a interrupt life. His wife is also a weak person who used to depend on Stan as the provider of the family, which made the movie more spectacular and realistic.As an audience, it is an eye-opener to the public of the situation and life of people during 1970s. It made me realize that people like Stan tried to be contented with their life as they anesthetized themselves from their situation to make their bodies work and think only for the betterment of their family even with no luxury and lesser necessities.Work CitedBurnett, Charles. Killer of Sheep. 1977.
