The short film named "Whacked! Starts from citizens getting whacked by a mysterious force and falling down in New York City. Siren echo in the city, and the panic spreads all around. At the same time, we see a suburban golf range. The main character, a guy who gathers golf ball as his job at the golf range, is pestered by customers hitting his small truck with golf balls on purpose. This harassment gives him stress and, and he decides to strike back.
This short film has two features: no dialogue and it is in black-and-white. Thanks to no dialogue, I was able to concentrate on visual information in the film. The monochrome also helps me to understand that the film was classical. These features strongly impressed me as a classic film.
In my opinion, this story expresses disparity in wealth. The guy collecting the golf balls desires revenge on not only mean customers but also rich people and society. The relationship between mean customer and a guy is the metaphor of rich and poor people. Hence, the last scene of this film expresses that revenge by the poor people can be real.
