Don’t Blink

This is a short film that asks the audience to interpret the film however they please. There is no definite answer, only what is said and seen in the short. Gilbert himself says that it’s a short scene in something huge that only we as an audience can create in our minds. Since this week we talked about audiences and how they view things differently, this is a task that seemed relevant. What did you think happened in the film? My interpretation is that the protagonist has been involved with some alien gang that was introduced to him through the diner waiter. After losing all him money the aliens take his liver and he wakes up angry at the world. He then goes to the diner waiter and shoots him in rage, but soon afterwards dies because he has no lover. It may sound outrageous but like we discussed, it is whatever the audience perceives the text as that is true.
