Plastic Bag

     After watching the short film Plastic Bag, I was inspired. The film made me really think. I think the director did a good job in making the plastic bag take on human characteristics. The life of the plastic bag can easily be related to a person who is lost in the world with no direction in search of it's purpose. I took two very important messages from the film. The first, the most important, was to recycle. I feel if the bag was properly disposed then it would not had to make that long, lonely journey across the world. Secondly, finding purpose out of life is very important. 

     In my opinion, I felt the director used the life of a plastic bag to signify a person who is lost in the world trying to find purpose. The colorfulness of each scene clearly represented the world and all the wonderful things it has to offer. The plastic bag, lost in that world, takes notice. The bag begins to embody the world, after being disposed of, rolled over, and left unnoticed. Nothing could stop it on the search for it's purpose, even after trials, tribulations, heartbreak, and loneliness. With great use of space, natural lightening, and natural scenery the director conveyed the message of searching for purpose in the world very well.
