Abstract

With digital money, e-wallets, and online platforms, gambling has become
increasingly accessible to teenagers, leading to conflicts like fights, theft,
and even murder, often driven by debt and verbal abuse. Film, as a visual
narrative medium, effectively highlights these issues. The author presents
a thriller short film about a gambler facing significant loss, directed in
Hitchcock’s suspenseful style, known for its psychological depth and
innovative cinematography. This film critiques the negative impacts of
gambling by combining narrative, symbolism, and visuals to deliver a
socially relevant message, emphasizing the dangers of gambling and its
profound consequences.
