Dutch Marich portrays a realistic approach in his film using the found footage approach for disappearing characters in the movie. In ‘Desert Firewatch’, other members of the production team developed the plot and character composition further. The number of fans of this series increased significantly in the last 3 years, and many recommend this series as one of the best found footage styles to watch. This scary picture is again in the high desert where an array of pieces come together, and the third part which is the fire watch is the final puzzle to complete the image.
Marco Antonio Parra portrays Oscar Mendoza, a character who is trying to piece everything together in relation to Gary Hinge, Minerva Sound, and Ameliana Brasher, who were played by Eric Mencis, Solveig Helene, and Brooke Bradshaw respectively. His question was simple and to the point. What happened to Gary Hinge, his partners, and big-german? Parra also says, He can not explain the actions of Hinge and his partners, but does share that for some reason the Guess Hinge’s Grapevine was able to provide answers to some of the questions left off for him during the agitated escapade of the engagements. The flames are eating up the western parts of Nevada and the government officials are just watching. “Looks like this is the best opportunity to finally find out what had been hidden in the unexplored parts of Nevada,” Oscar thinks loudly. This is how Marich’s movies used to be, Oscar’s video diary leads us snugly to the continuation of the feature at hand. After completing the Vermont, Oscar starts transporting himself into new VR locations, some forward in time while others backward. In doing so, essentially combines the past and the future.
The most recent installment in the High Desert trilogy looks set to meet the expectations set by the previous films to the delight of the fans of the series. It’s quite remarkable how the film manages to astound those who are familiar with the particular genre as well as those who follow the pattern with the approach he employs in the film. This technique also allows the characterization to further evolve teetering on those elements that the audience is genuinely concerned with. That twist works wonders here, since at times when nothing happens, the viewers at this point in the movie may think they get it but the beauty of it all is that they will be wrong and will be shocked many times by what happens next. Np such moments are vividly captured in the wide angles which in these particular instances do not only aid the plot but these moving shots give the audience the intensity anticipated of Milana Marius.
With regard to horror films in general, I’d assert it’s fair to argue that Firewatch does not fully exploit scare tactics of the jump scare type. There are moments where you are more likely to get startled. But the chills are dramatic, standing out as more impressive, the hidden rail operator’s unsettling voiceover and the feeling one has while trying to go through an abandoned mineshaft. This is exactly why Firewatch should be termed as a good video game as it is not a one-trick pony but strives to engage its audience through new approaches to creating tension and delivering a different kind of horror experience that is more than one-dimensional. Any amateur horror film buff would expect context-less jump scares in movies like The Outwaters and dislike it for that reason. It is safe to say however that Firewatch is far more sure of itself relative to its counterpart Minerva, so that assumption is not completely unfounded. But, for those fans who have come this far in the series, it would be quite easy to understand how Marich has evolved in his application of the found footage horror genre.
One of the intriguing features of Firewatch has also to do with the way Marich has developed his protagonist Oscar. He is not a typical anime character that is but a ‘naive’ wanderer willing to insert himself into any activity or a non-entity in the anime who shows signs of ordeal after an event. On the other hand, however, Oscar’s biographies can be somewhat understood in the context of the tragic events, the psychiatric and sociotropic disorders, and substance abuse with he came to the High Desert region, perhaps rather purposefully. It was manifest from the onset that one of the functions that was tasked to him, the mystery of the phenomena in question, was not one of Oscar’s preoccupations. In life, he has wider purposes.
In a certain episode of the program, Oscar recounts his efforts in rekindling life in some aspects of his life such as the High Desert mysteries that left him frustrated and lack of confidence. This portion is a bit honest and may be viewed as brave but is really fascinating as it provides a reason why most people tend to be interested in things that are elusive in nature, particularly on Firewatch and the rest of Henrietta’s universe of Marich. It is yet another reality that there is so much allure in the enigma that stalks us even if such an experience would yield no pleasure or worth. It somehow reassures people that there is an aim for existence other than the monotony and noise that everybody has peppered within their short-lived adult existence. Parra’s performance becomes perfect because of this boyishness, sweetness, and the sheer joy of living comes in unity with all of these. A life that inspires to seek something new even if it’s through the reasons that there are those who think it’s worth the effort.
As with the previous two parts, the three of them continue to have the voice of Gal Roberts (Suziey Block) narrating the role of a roving reporter who is embedded with other frames that have Oscar’s footage as well as interviews with some of the new and old actors for the High Desert series. The use of non-professional actors weakens certain intended images that border on the use of found footage, which unfortunately this film together with the narrative of Firewatch, also contains. The return of Beverly Hinge (Tonya Williams Ogden) is also welcome and makes it possible for Marich to expand on how true crime fans tend to disguise their fandom in a way that disrupts those whose cases are still pending. Such events achieve the aim of connecting together both the main idea and the storyline in a mosaic of the films and even stimulate the viewer to seek out the earlier sequels once again. In truth, in one of the corners, there is such a clumping mix of pictures Shutter shooter took in a time interval of about a second Minerva, and so he swapped faces in order to go back to see the first time that particular scene that no one had set their eyes on was shot, again talking about Marich in the series he is a concentration guy.
It is quite evident that the desert isn’t the place that the fans of the genre would want, however, whether the creator is giving up on looking into the rest of High Desert is a question. The first which put herself on a hook which will require some problem-solving. Not to mention that the second which is called Urban and rather its singular interrupt as a story alongside Firewatch a stunning sequel for everyone who’s concerned that the ultimate task is to steer clear of the usual.
