In reply to Sarah.

If you think about it, the lack of relationship with the father, and the lack of support, allowed the viewer the space to let her forgive her father’s killer. It also forced her to grow as a person, and realize she was able to get out from under the thumb of her father… to do it. Whatever it is. It’s the quintessential bildungsroman, that explodes past that, into a totally different eduction of life and survival! (I was sort of making fun of myself there… never mind.) But yeah, it was interesting to see the critical differences between the two.

Loved this movie, amazing world building and details. A difference I saw between the short film and the feature film was the father and his encouragement or lack of encouragement of his daughter’s creative tendencies. While short film dad was very supportive of her artwork, I preferred the dynamic of feature film dad who was more tough with her and seemed to drive home the idea that making money and surviving are most important. I liked that dynamic better since she still loved her father but probably had a “tough love” upbringing, helpful during the perils of the rest of the movie. She was portrayed as a confident, strong willed young woman who could handle herself and I loved her character. Hoping these filmmakers keep making movies! :)

No worries. It happens. I watched both of those. Great stuff. There are still people that believe those boys to be guilty which is pure insanity. And you know who calling for the death penalty. I’ve been bickering with folks about it on Facebook. I was still pretty young when both of these events happened so they were truly eye opening shows. Especially how they tried to stem the flow of the real info about Chernobyl. What boggled my mind was the ease of which people walked into that reactor area without proper covering to work knowing they would most certainly die for it and the firemen being sent there without the proper gear. Oh and none of the area hospitals having any iodine pills! I guess these are sort of spoilers but it’s history too.

Oh that? That was just me being a complete ignoramus. I added it… finally. Thanks for tipping me off to my cluelessness – yet again! hahaha. And if you want a tip on what I’m watching right now – Chernobyl is out of control. That and When They See Us. Two crazy crazy true life stories. But Prospect is a definite must watch if you haven’t seen it yet.

I can’t see a link for the short film.
