The Big Picture (2000) watch online HD

"The Big Picture" is a very rare short film. I was watching TV and suddenly this film came on. I thought that it deserves a chance even though it was a short film and I have never heard about the film nor the directors before. Then when the film started and the main characters future was revealed more and more I was totally captivated by it. I had not seen anything like it, of course the style is not what is unique but how the plot plays out. And then came the end. What an amazing way to end this film. It is the ending that makes the whole film and even though it is a short film you still get attached to the character and moved by her future. After the film was over, the end raised a lot of questions in my mind, but I found myself loving the film, the end and life itself.

Consumed by her career, Wendy never imagined going out with Jack. She never imagined spending any time with him at all, but she's about to witness events that will change her mind. She's about to experience her life played out before her very eyes. I Found This Film In The "Special Features" Section Of The "Daybreakers" DVD (It Is There). I Was At First Thinking This Was An Extra Content Part Of Daybreakers But When The Film Ended I Found Out That It Was Not Even Close. The Main Concept Of The Plot Is Seeing Your Entire Life Flash Before Your Eyes. The Actors Do A Good Job At Making Believable Characters. The Music Score Sounds Like It Was Done By Clint Mansell Which Is A Compliment.

The Spierig Brothers Are The First Aussie Directors To Impress Me Since Joel Anderson & He Was The First Since...Well Ever. As You See Wendy's Life Being Watched By Her You All Of A Sudden Care For Her But The Speirig Brothers Used Writing Talent That You Don't Notice It Until She Dies Then When It Happens You Can't Not Notice It.

The Only Bad Thing About The Movie Is That In Most Of The Late Stages Of Wendy's Life (Particularly In The Clips Where Her Kids Are Teenagers) She Doesn't Age...Thats A Thought. All In All A Movie That - Even Though You Might Not Notice It (Well I Didn't) - Will Captivate You...If You Can Find A Copy Of It.

This movie was one of the extras on the Blu ray disc of Daybreakers. Usually most short films that are by the same directors/producers are pretty dire. But this one kept me watching and was just as interesting as the main feature. At first you think that Wendy's neighbour is a bit "unhinged" or, if you have just watched Daybreakers, is a vampire. However as this little gem unfolds you are drawn into a nice little story.

Then ending is almost comical and I guessed what would happen just as the nice piano and strings played.

Great little movie.

I'm a big fan of musical scores, and this little film has a gorgeous piano soundtrack composed by Cliff Bradley. I was able to find the tracks on Bradley's web page, and they hold up to listening without the movie. He's collaborated on other Spierig Brother's projects as well, such as their truly scatter-brained 'Undead' effort.(What The Hell!?) I think Bradley's a gifted composer, and I look forward to more from him. Any idea where we can view or buy 'The Big Picture'? It had a very brief run on HBO before the age of DVR's, haven't seen it since, not even on You-Tube. I'd even buy the cursed 'Undead'(YUK!)if they tacked on 'Big Picture' as an extra. I've e-mailed SpierigFilms, to no avail.
