The big shave was made in 1967 and was directed and written by Martin Scorsese and is a six minute short film. It shows a man shaving away hair which looks all so normal until he begins to shave away his skin. The message behind this short film is almost like a metaphor, as it's based around the concept of the United States in the Vietnam War. The unites States destroyed another country for no reason and caused harm. This idea is shown through the bloody bathroom and the man repeatedly shaving despite him knowing he is causing harm. This reflects what America done, suggesting they don't have to do get involved but they chose to do so needlessly.
