SCAREDYCAT- Reflection

Andy Blublagh’s “Scaredycat” is an in depth short film that's about how bad obsession and fear can be when one has gone through a post traumatic situation. He was brutally mugged by five males. This short film is depiction of how one instance in life can change your entire world.

Andy realizes that he can't be afraid of everything and that he would eventually have to leave his home. Then he is able to come up with some "coping mechanisms." This included crossing the street if he felt the need to if her in counter a "black person." He realizes that the way he has decided to cope is not even realistic, as there were several men of different ethnicity, but yet he seem to focus on the "black men." He was able to come back to reality and understand how he was dealing with this traumatic event, was truly him taking a racist approach to the situation.

Andy eventually gets up enough courage to face his attackers and ask the "Why?" He was able to get their point of view on the situation. He really wanted to put his self in the shoes of the attackers. He came to the knowledge and understanding that the attackers, had violence presence in the early childhoods.

Ultimately, Andy was able to get through this traumatic event and his attackers were sentence up to 14 years. While he understands that the amount of time they received may seem long, he reverts back to how he felt the night of the attack to keep his mind from repeating the same fears he had at the beginning of the attack.
