The life and death of a pumpkin

This short film is basic. It is supposed to be a horror film type production from the eyes of a pumpkin. It is done with a cleaver voice over that is from the perspective of a pumpkin. It starts off with him living peacefully with his family. This personifies him making it seem real and as if pumpkins can feel the same way humans do. The moral in this film is somewhat clear to begin with. However it is somewhat confusing. Personally I believe that the moral is about killing and unnecessary wastage of food however this could be wrong as people see things in different ways.  Or it could also be seen as ‘pumpkins have feelings to’ this is more of a comedic look on this film.  This also puts across the idea that all humans are evil for doing this. The knife scene is important for this. As knifes are used to show the pain this pumpkin is feeling.  This is also shown via a voice over to show the exact feelings of this pumpkin. The characters themselves aren’t characterised however you do learn a little about the two groups of characters. The pumpkin is narrating so he is meant to be the main character. Via the narrating you also learn what he is feeling and about his life in the timeframe of the film. However you learn nothing about his past or about him from anybody else. The humans are the same, they are just shown to be the evil characters as they torment the one individual as well as inflicting pain onto him. The scene with ripping out his insides is also important as this shows the humans inflicting pain. There is also no contrast shown of these two characters.
