The Big Shave Inspiration

I thought that 'The Big Shave' was an absolutely exhilarating short film and caused the utmost shock for me as it ended. It was very well created by Martin Scorsese in my opinion. The extreme close ups seemed to be intended to cause extreme unsettling feelings upon the viewer; it worked on me. It's the way the man was acting completely natural as he shaved. He then restarted for a second time and it made me think that he is obsessive and compulsive, and then all of a sudden he begins to cut himself.


The blood looked very realistic and the way it just kept dripping into the sink never ending was disturbing and made you wander what was going to happen when he finished, he simply finished and managed to maintain his calm nerve once again causing the audience to think, how?

It had a seemingly very confusing beginning, middle and end with no dialogue, but this included the true meaning of actions that speak louder than words.
