A little confusing but harmless
Rodrigo_Amaro25 January 2023
This entry here by the great director Peter Weir made ages before "Witness" and "Dead Poets Society" was part of a series of short films named "Adults Learning", and he made five of those films. I'm not exactly sure if this was a documentary, a re-enatcment or some fiction going on. It's very confusing in finding a meaning to it or some higher purpose where audiences can truly invest in what's being presented. Here, three men involved with the agriculture industry share their views on a new product to use in the fields to fight insect invasion. One is confident about the new process while the second and oldest of the group is very skeptic and argues about what he thinks might be the sollution; and the third guy is more concerned with a kid crashing his bike on a nearby table or his wife serving food to them and interrupting their meeting. There's some humor in the way the dialogue is performed along with their facial expressions but to decode what they're saying and finding who's right and who's wrong it's a little difficult.

No harm done, it's a quite manageable with if given a more developed time, or some practical examples of what those guys are trying to accomplish, then we'd have a better movie.
