Personal Statement:
Look Both Ways is a meaningful movie. It creates animated fatalism in live action. It is an excellent Australian prodution. It creates meanings about death and life. Also, it is showing relationship of families. There is good interaction with the audience. The animated fatalism is like another film “Frida” using paintings to present to fatalism. Also, the film is not sexy action in the film, but still can tell the audience about the relationship between characters. It is different from Hollywood movies. It makes the audience think and enjoyable.
It is about family problems and reality. This film reveals what is actually going on in peoples lives and how they come to terms with it.
The film has a very strong and clear idea about the scene in which Meryl and Nick give in to each other at last, even though film schools do not offer classes in how to ones your husband in bed with another woman (New York Times 2006).
