Observation #17

The Monster

The cat shrieks back, it’s fur raised and fangs snarling fiercely. The duck flaps its wings and cranes itself above the bird, so high it becomes a monstrous image. The cat zig-zags around the duck in an effort to get away from it, but cannot get past the flapping, quacking monstrosity before it. The cat feels cornered. It keeps hissing and shrieking at the duck, but it won’t relent. So the cat does instead. It scurries away, scaling a fence one thought too high for a cat to mount. And the duck flaps, victoriously quacking into the air.

THE FILM

About the dynamic between two people, two rivals about to clash. One is your typical bulky, jock type who is starting this fight in order to defend his honour. The other is your typical skinny geek. Everyone would automatically assume that the jock would win. But the geek is surprisingly vicious, and more than holds his own. Will he grant the jock mercy? About averting current perceptions and archetypal stereotypes.
