Deconstruction - Connection

This is a short published by The Guardian newspaper called 'Connection' about a Belarusian man who is lost in an airport and accidentally runs into actor Jude Law. The man however has no idea how Jude is and they have short conversations based on what Jude can understand throught the language barrier. Jude helps him to find his connecting plane until a bizzare inccodent occurs when both the guy's mothers ring at the same time. They then start mirroring eachother's movements. This shows that there is not a huge gap between them even though they are at different stages in life and do not know one another, they share the same core values. Next, both have their privacy invaded when the european man's home is searched and there are reporters camped outside Jude's new house. They share simillar problems despite being from opposite sides of Europe, suggesting that we all share common problems. Jude hands his new friend over to the boarder police and askes them to give him political asaylum. He is taken away before jude turns around and realises they have made a connection, but it is too late. I chose this film because it rounds all of the crazy things that can happen during travel, which is what my film is based on. It also reminds us that we are all connected, no matter what walk of life you are from. There are some things that I can take from this film that I would like to use in my film. Firstly, the use of transport. My film is based on the metro, and this film is set in an airport. The connection is the strange things that happen when you are out and about. I could pretend that someone is a celebrity on the metro, and get people to swamp them. This would create quite a scene on the metro but it would be worth it for the great footage! On the other hand, using the issue of asylum is defiantly something I want to avoid as I want to keep my film on the happy side of the fence, and asylum really isn't an issue I want to tackle.
