I've been working on the script for the video on 'In case I make it', and when it came to the Willard section, I felt unprepared. I had read the Wikipedia summary of the movie, but to write the best analysis I could, I felt it beneficial to go back and watch it myself. The trailers all sold it as a disturbing horror film, but it really didn't seem that scary. Any close ups of the rats just look goofy and adorable, and even the moment where Ben is supposed to be angry just looks like the rat was sleepy.
I thought to myself, "if you took out all the scenes with other humans, Willard would probably be a sweet film about a man and his rats." So, that's what I did. There was some minor editing to do, in the way of rearranging scenes for a bit more logical flow, and doing some minor rescoring towards the end. If there's any goofs on my part, my apologies. It was just a silly little project I made to pass the time.
