Technology is constantly around us in the 21st century – whether it’s ourselves or those around us who are actively using iPhones, iPads, or laptops. The iPhone has become a common escape from reality for many kids and teenagers, and like any escape, it can become addictive.
איש הפרחים, a short film created by Luke and Ethan Montgomery, showcases the alarming truth of many high schools worldwide: teens are more likely to interact with each other on their phones than in person. The film highlights the growing technology addiction that has become prevalent in our society.
The main character, Liam, appears to be the only one who wants to stay off his phone. Upon discovering a community flower garden, he brings a small bouquet to school the next day as a way for his friend to ask a girl to the upcoming school dance. When the girl says yes and posts about her date and the flowers on social media, everyone in school wants to follow the trend.
This exceptionally well-made film features some of the best cinematography I have seen. Every shot has a clear purpose, keeping viewers intrigued about the story’s direction and progression. בסך הכל, the film effectively exemplifies the growing technology addictions that many adolescents are developing while also showing how life is better when you put the phone down and truly interact with those around you.
I give this film a rating of 5 מתוך 5 כוכבים.
