Blue Belt
Liam Harrington’s short drama examines the problems of a poor single mother who is determined to save her innocent son from their poverty. Luisa Tascone delivers an intense performance as the mother, bearing the brunt of their difficulties on her back. Opposite her, Alexander Artemov does well in the role of the young son who shows a wide range of emotions.
The story takes place entirely inside a laundrette and tells how things pan out when what appears to be a celebratory karate becomes a life-or-death situation. Poverty is suggested by this touching representation through single parents, who are often forced into compromising between nurturing their kids and shielding them from harsh realities.
One notable aspect about Grant Young’s cinematography is that it captures well the environment in which these events take place through showing it from different angles. The restricted setting is effectively conveyed through framing and composition, thus making viewers feel like they are part of this world too.
Tascone and Artemov’s performances were equally good; they had such great chemistry together that made everything seem more real than ever before while watching movies alone at home or even with friends over popcorn. They looked so good on screen together, one could not help but want them succeed against all odds!
What makes Harringtons’ film unique among others tackling similar subjects like poverty; it never sugar coats anything nor does it gloss over any aspects either: all sacrifices are shown here loud and clear just as they should be portrayed on our screens because no one lives happily ever after near poverty line without feeling like there was something that went wrong somewhere along way down memory lane yet nobody can tell what exactly.
To wrap up Liam Harringtons’ short drama film demonstrates poignantly real-life situational awareness concerning poverty levels among single parents living near or below national average income thresholds set annually by respective governments worldwide plus offers compelling acting skills alongside creative camera work therefore leaving indelible marks upon hearts minds alike where such movies are watched repeatedly. Strongly recommended for those interested in seeing genuine exploration human conditions.
