| Summary: | 碩士 === 世新大學 === 廣播電視電影學研究所(含碩專班) === 101 === My short film “nochoice” is based on a true story about my friend. In December 2007, a woman who went into a hardware store, picked up a knife on the shelf and stabbed herself in the heart directly. She died on the spot without last words but left only her friends and family in astonishment. I keep thinking about the reason for her to choose this extreme way to die and how her family and friends would face it.
Based on a true event, as an author who continuously focuses on the “suicide” subject, I try to deconstruct the psychological state of her last day without the intent to explore the truth but through the long follow takes and real-time movie experiences. While using both digital and film images, and with the title cards that deliver the “suicide note” context, I reconstruct a time and space that could intersects the life and death. Simultaneously, to carry out a romantic but misplaced communication between Yin-Yang.
Is “suicide” can be chosen? Or is it a force to choose? I hope to show that even the industry and technology are well developed that we used to concern people by using Internet but most of the time, we need a real hug and real talk rather than a network message. The main subject of my short film “nochoice” is about people’s anxiety of existence. And for those orphans of suicide, how they face the non-existence of the dead, heal over and bid farewell to them.
