The idea behind this montage is showing stress when under pressure. In the first shot, we see a clean-faced person facing the window, casually throwing a peach in the air. We hear complaints and inquires asked of him overlayed. He seems ok with it all, and continues to casually throw the peach. The next shot is him holding firmly onto the peach, and what we hear is more stressing and worrying, such as him not completing a job that could get him fired. One voice indicates that he was gone for a while. The third shot is the person from the front. He has grown a beard, and face is in the dark. He is no longer throwing the peach or holding it, he’s about to eat it. The voices are worried and surprised, and suggesting the character is doing something they’re afraid of. As the teeth bite into the peach, we hear a explosion and sirens. Theres a voice asking if anyone noticed if he was depressed.
The peach is used as a metaphor of life. We are happy with our lives generally, accepting the challenges that come every day and most of the time not worried about the impact some challenges has on our lives. It’s just like throwing a peach in the air. You don’t care about anything else, you just focus on your task. It’s when you stop throwing the peach you start to realise what you’re doing, and what’s happening around. It’s when you’ve realised you’ve gone too far with something, you become aware of the state you’re in. Taking on too many challenges can leave someone mentally and physically drained. It’s times like this you have to make a stand, but doesn’t always turn out the better. In this instance, one can speculate that the main character was trying to prove a point, but got himself killed. Taking a ‘bite out of life’ as it were, showing you’re own teeth, and having a go back at those that challenge you.
How the audience will percieve this I am not sure. They are free to make their own judgements about this montage. There are no right or wrong conclusions to this montage.
