Some films and directorial styles are known for their direct and clear warnings of a reality that not everyone is aware of.
A short film review about HALLELUJAH
A Short
Film Review
About
Hallelujah
WITTY CHARACTERS WHO ARE
LIVING THEIR OWN HELL
▪ But sometimes the films go further. They can
reveal real (and not necessarily realistic)
problems. The short film Hallelujah is an
example: the story, which lasts less than 15
minutes, is told from the point of view of witty
characters who are living their own hell. But what
happens next? Is there really anything in it?
Boy decides to commit
suicide and fails
▪ In Hallelujah, we see two brothers relaxing in their backyard in Compton,
California. The girl is playing. The boy in the strange clothes mumbles
about books and existential matters. They are, to say the least,
impressed. But then the boy decides to commit suicide and fails. We
then learn that the boy has a strange interest in suicide and death.
When the boy and girl try to leave the house, they are chased by two
men. They discover the reason for the boy's strange thoughts. And if you

Terrible and messy as a gang
▪ Victor Gabriel wrote and directed
"Hallelujah" for one purpose. To try to
understand the consequences of
something as terrible and messy as a
gang. In the society he grew up in,
violence is not accepted as normal. This
is an attempt to comment on the cynical
normalization of such a tragedy. And his
commentary is raw and full of the
strange hope that flourishes in the
strangest, most human of places, where
families are born out of tragedy.
Creativity in the film's key scenes
▪ It's impossible not to be reminded of John
Singleton's style of scene construction and
Spike Lee's creativity in the film's key scenes.
Constantly filming characters being created
and played out is a smart move given the
short film format. Tragedies happen when you
least expect them (and to the people you least
expect). Facts become causes and then
objects, hallelujah.
Film about unconditional love
▪ As you read above, Hallelujah is not a terrible
short film. Yes, it is tragic. But that's not a sad
word. It's a poignant film about unconditional
love and, strange as it may seem, the
predictability of crime in the circles where it
still reigns.And if you want to watch it online
you may watch it at 9kmovies 2022. For
some, it has become a way of life.
Coupled with impressive cinematography
▪ Perhaps too much has already been said, but
the humorous elements of the film remind the
viewer that this is not a simple, repetitive
message. The film's voiceover makes it seem
like a comedy, but I assure you it is not. The
lead roles of Bruce Lymon, Richard Nevels,
Stephen Leroy Thomas and Mariah Farms are
enough to make the film memorable. All of
this, coupled with impressive cinematography,
makes the short film Hallelujah the perfect
embodiment of an idea that has yet to be fully
expressed: love grows like weed in the most
unnatural and unacceptable places.
