What I like about the short film is how simple it is yet it makes you think. Setting aside the other versions or remakes that are out there, this film is about an older gentleman who is attempting to work or do a chore and he is interrupted by this young man. So looking at the man's reaction it is possible he is being a bully, but then again, could he be having fun as well? Men in this era showed much less emotion than they do today. Seeing how he grabbed the boy and drug him back to the scene, rather than beating him he simply sprayed him with the hose as the boy did to him as if to say "how do you like that". Knowing who the boy is could make a significant different too. A local criminal? Son? Nephew? We may never know....
