Chicken Papa · review
Chicken Papa is truly ingenious. In the beginning, a woman waits for an elevator to arrive to her floor. This represents how the people of our generation continue to wait for something convenient to help them even at the expense of others. When she gets into the elevator, the woman presses for floor nine. It is only one floor away from the maximum amount of floors this elevator can carry her. This is outrageously inconsiderate of her sense she doesn't say a word and acts as if it is normal for the elevator to do a human's bidding. The elevator doors are closing... but abnormitystrikes as Chicken Papa (a human sized chicken) walks into the elevator and politely says he gets off on floor ten. The woman presses the button, of course, but immediately looks away from Chicken Papa. She doesn't want to admit to her sins of pushing around technology. The scene also foreshadows a later part of this masterpiece.
Chicken Papa comments on the fact that she probably ate garlic chicken the other day. The woman immediately tries to act as if she never heard what he said by saying "pardon", but Chicken Papa knows she heard. She then apologizes quickly to him and looks back into the corner of the elevator as before. She is ashamed of herself, for she has been confronted by the very thing she thought was supposed to be doing as she would like. There is a moments silence...
Chicken Papa begins to cluck rapidly and the screen fades to white. This part is up for interpretation. The common belief is that the woman is imagining Chicken Papa and he is not even real. All Chicken Papa is is a figment of her imagination, the part of her brain that admits eating chickens without their permission is wrong, the side of her brain that admits making a elevator (which could easily kill her) do her bidding is wrong and shameful, and the side of her brain that wants to say she is sorry. At the end of the day, she went on with her disgusting life as a chicken abuser and elevator dictator.
