Haiku film review: Less IS less


A new game played by three friends on the road north…

Basho: A Man for All Seasons...
Lilacs on the river,
Thomas blocks Henry’s divorce,
Prison to gallows.

Sora: The Mission...
Waterfalls and jungle,
Settlers enslave Indians,
Cultural fallout.

Disciple: Avatar...
Spaceships raid forest,
Blue natives ride giant birds,
Burnt trees but victory.

If there were to be rules for writing film reviews in haiku, we could expect: (1) setting the scene, (2) reporting the event, (3) describing the outcome. Or in haiku form…

Film reveals location,
A conflict is followed by
A resolution.

In traditional haiku the location is a peaceful scene, the event is physical action, change occurs.

An old pond.
A frog jumps.
Sound of water.

Sites that do…
Movie reviews…
Through haiku…


An experiment
But in some cases, less IS less.
More might be better.

Watch the difference between number of WORDS and number of SYLLABLES. Example of 5-7-5 SYLLABLES for Devil Wears Prada:

"Girl joins fashion mag,
Boss a scary she-devil,
Girl learns skills gets strong."

5 syllables in line 1, 7 syllables in line 2, 5 syllables in line 3.)
