This is a very powerful 10 minute clip based on male seductions. It is based in the 1900s where males did not have the privileges that the 21st century have. Internet was unavailable and digital devices were not yet made meaning seductive videos, such as porn were not yet created. We are introduced to the main character immediately as we are shown the child standing with a negative attitude in a football goal! The boy discovers a paper cut out of a well groomed female, wearing minimal clothing and loses concentration in the game. This is a very important part on the video as it tells us how the obsession for naked females came around.The director cuts this scene short with a black image and muffled voices in the background! This grabs the viewers attention as we are confused and interested as to wheather the narratives is going to change.We learn through out this short film that images of females in indecent poses, wearing revealing clothes are needed to seduce men. I think Walsh fully shows the theme of lust and greed as a twist is given towards the end of the clip!
The title of this mini movie came from a section in the narrative when the boy is surrounded by magazine cut outs hanging above him on trees!
Overall I think Bevan Walsh really captured the idea of sexual pleasures and how time period can affect relationships!
