Films made by novice directors or college students who do not receive production support will cost less to produce. However, it is said that those who dream of becoming a director through these independent films enter the cinema and put their own philosophy of cinema into their works. Even if many audiences do not see it, the meaning and value of independent films is very large.
I saw a movie on TV a few days ago. The title is Buried, which means 'buried'. I thought it would be a strange movie. With this in mind, this movie was truly a strange movie from start to finish. It can be said that it is a film that feels like an American version of an independent film.
A man named Paul Conroy is a truck driver driving a truck that moves materials to a construction site in Iraq. One day, while driving a truck, he was attacked by terrorists, and when he opened his eyes, he was buried alive in a wooden coffin measuring less than one square meter.
He only has a cell phone with half the battery and a Zippo lighter.
He doesn't know where he is buried, who has been attacked, and where he needs to report to survive.
Since the movie starts from the moment the main character opens his eyes after being buried alive, only one actor appears in a space of just one square meter throughout the running time of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. And the whole atmosphere is a very extreme situation where you have to solve an unimaginable ordeal in an unimaginable closed place.
There are no flashy sights, there is no detailed story development, and there are no various actors.
It's an unimaginable setting, but it's about kidnapping from a strange place we've seen on the news many times already. That is why, despite the simple story development, I am immersed in watching the movie.
And an unimaginable ending. An ending that leaves you dazed and unable to think about anything even after the movie is over. It's something that can't happen easily, but an ending that makes you think that it could happen in such a situation.
So it was a movie I never thought I would write a movie review for, but it was a movie that made me think and think endlessly without leaving my head for days after watching it.
It is a very realistic film about indiscriminate terrorism or hostage criminals demanding ransoms that have occurred in various parts of the world since several years ago. And it is a film that makes you think about how difficult it is to negotiate with criminals.
And I was really curious about how much it cost to make this movie. Would such a film be called a low-budget film or an independent film in America?
