Mustache

This was probably my favorite movie we've watched so far. At least for me it did a terrific job conveying a really bleak mood. Although certain parts had some theaterish acting, the emotions were communicated to me very well. I felt a lot of tension, anxiety, and sympathy for both the mustache man and the salt wife. The search for "something more" was way more apparent in this movie than in the Man in the Grey Flannel Suit film. It seemed to portray the theme of the flannel man book more accurately than the flannel man film did. I felt sorry for the characters and the concrete drowning was especially gruesome. The character seemed to be arcing towards a positive ending, and then everything goes wrong. I like that because it avoids the common tendency of throwing the events of the entire story out for a clean, all-loose-ends-tied ending. I hardly recognized the mustache man when he was shown without a mustache.
