RUNNER | Omeleto

Фильм және анимация

A woman goes for a jog and witnesses something she can't run away from.
RUNNER is used with permission from Clare Cooney. Learn more at clare-cooney.com.
Becca is out for a run one morning, but as she makes her way down one of the backstreets of her neighborhood, she sees a man and a woman having a fight. Then she sees something truly unsettling: the man shoves her hard enough to knock her out cold. Becca and the man make eye contact as he realizes what he's done, but before he can say or do anything to her, she runs away, scared for her own safety.
Time passes and she's lulled back into a sense of safety, trying to put the memory behind her. Until one evening, when she meets the man out one night at a bar -- and he insists on walking along the way with her at the end of the night.
Writer-director Clare Cooney -- who also plays the lead role of Becca -- has crafted a quiet, intelligent urban thriller that explores the issues of silence, intervention and why some cannot speak up even in the face of violence. With precise, intelligent performances and equally smart, complicated writing, the short is a study in power, threat and the subtle yet insidious ways these are asserted -- and how it chokes off a sense of agency from those subjected to it.
From the film's beautiful opening scene, the story captures how the simple experience of making one's way through the world, energetic and carefree on a beautiful day, can change with just a small, unsettling sense of threat. The camerawork and cinematography begin with a sense of optimism and radiance, capturing an independent, free modern woman in the fullness of her life.
But that sense of possibility begins to constrict once Becca stumbles upon the couple. While the argument between the man and woman is clearly volatile -- and their dynamic seemingly abusive -- the killing that results is accidental, and the man is upset, stunned and shocked. But when he spots Becca, the sense of threat he emanates is transferred to her, and alone and afraid for her safety, she runs away and later stays silent, traumatized by what she's seen and scared he might know where she lives. What works in these scenes is how quiet, powerful and yet ultimately underplayed they are, avoiding melodrama and haunting the rest of the film with a sense of fear and threat.
That sense of constant but latent potential violence informs Becca's actions and emotions throughout the film and play out in a subtle way. Trauma, guilt and fear gradually mold and constrict her world, and her own sense of efficacy within it, and the film itself gets darker in tone and visuals. The writing slowly lays out Becca's internal emotional journey, which proceeds in an unexpected way. There are beats of disconnection, and maybe even denial, and lulls where the anonymity of modern urban life seems to offer an illusion of safety.
But that illusion is shattered when the man pops up some weeks later at a local trivia night. Proximity means possible peril, and the film shifts into a highly effective thriller, skillfully building up to a tense and suspenseful climax and confrontation that is largely constructed through what remains unspoken but lurking constantly under the surface.
The man's final scene alone with Becca makes clear he is not afraid to wield power and assert control and dominance in the situation. In the end, he asks Becca, "Are we good?" It sounds like a question, but it feels like a threat. It's a quiet but explosive moment.
Many will likely see Becca's dilemma through a moral or ethical lens. Did she do the wrong thing in staying quiet? Why didn't she just speak up? But arguments of ethics often hinge on assumptions that everyone is an equally free and equal agent in their life. What works about RUNNER and its powerful ending is how it shows that this often isn't the case. Power and the threat of violence are often subtly wielded, but the silence and complicity it can coerce -- even in the interest of self-preservation -- are nevertheless deafening and deadening.

    You are both very intelligent and had excellent points! I have much thinking to do now. Was it truly an accident? We all have our moments of rage. Ok, not me anymore. I am 47 and a woman. Life has beat me down. But, if I were a man, my take away would be to be careful. I couldn't injure or kill my husband like that, but he could very easily kill me. After 29 years I would hope not. We are all beat down in our own way. I was a foster child who became a military wife and mother of two beautiful daughters. I am blessed in every way. Two years ago, our youngest daughter, eighteen at the time, tried to take her life. I just thank God she didn't succeed. My point is, life is fragile, much more than we think. One realizes it when it's too late sometimes. Be good to yourself. Jesus loves you! God blesses you in ways you can't comprehend❣❣❣ Thanks for reading this, momma Grace

Instead of calling 911 himself, he chased the only witness and then presumably covered everything up since he was never caught and then intimidated the witness months later. Not cool.

    As someone who has witnessed a murder I just want to say this: Sometimes you don’t want to contact the police because you don’t want to get involved.

    Teddy Roosevelt is mentioned for a reason (I mean, everything in a story is for a reason). He said that “in any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing...and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” She knew he was the youngest president (reasonably obscure knowledge), which means she probably knew he said this (less obscure), so the guilt would weigh extra-heavy on her.

    The way I understood this movie she did call the cops or whatever, that guy got locked up or something and he physically is in fact out of her life. The point of the movie is that she can't forget what happened, she can't forget the guy's face so she keeps bringing him with her wherever she goes. Scene in a bar and later when she meets him at the end of the movie are just two sequences showing us how the memory of him keeps chasing her. Truly powerful.

    We all might react differently when faced with this but the fact that she didn't call the police at any point makes me upset. That woman had a family. People that love her and you could be the one to give them some semblance of closure and you choose cowardice.

    Okay. This is a great reason to start taking up running again. I’m convinced. Because right now, I COULD NOT outrun that guy.

    Reading the comments here helps one understand how little people know about most of the things they're more than willing to opine upon. This film succeeds very well on the level of conversation starting, despite its failure to provide genuine resolution to the protagonist's moral conflict.

    One reason she didn't call the police may be that she feared her own safety. She knew it was an accident, but she didn't know the guy. He could go to jail for murder and one day come out. And she would have to live with the fear that he may come after her. So, she chose to live with the guilt of not doing anything.
