BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
earthenvssl What a fantastic short! I would not have picked up on Dr. Awkward being a palindrome without the help of other reviewers, so I wanted to add some thoughts to the theme as well. Did anybody notice that the shoulder bag strap that the human/rat wears is labeled with the infinity sign? That's when it occurred to me that the character isn't being referred to box 181, it's a call to return the character to the same struggle, over and over again, for infinity - the infinity sign is in between two parallel lines on the box key. Same DVD, same run, same message, and this snatch of time starts over again.What I enjoy about the theme is that the cycle continues only as long as the character lets it continue.There's some really interesting post-modern theology in this short: humanity's view of God, of time, of the "important" things in life.
asylumwear Big spoiler (for those still reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series), but this flick was a glimpse into the mind of Roland. While a little confusing at first (I would have probably watched the movie a third time and wondered if there was anything else), I happened to spot the tip and then the sudden realization stole over me: the rose. For those who haven't even looked at the DT series, but enjoyed this short film, take a moment and discover one of the most interesting Stephen King novels I've ever read. And now that the series is finished, this movie was a nice way to bring some additional closure to the tale by helping another gunslinger on his path to the tower.
gypsyspell72 A simple commentary on the life of a typical person in today's world, those who are running through life and not getting anywhere. Most people simply exist in this world, they do not live their lives to the fullest. His life is directed by something as simple and ridiculous as cartoon characters, symbolic of how simple and ridiculous the things that direct most peoples lives today. The homeless man is symbolic of where that gets you in life, which is old, broken down. The new pair of shoes symbolic of material possessions but what does it really mean when your life is over? The rose seller is of course representative of stopping to enjoy the life you are living.
TheFenderBender I won't pretend to be at all well-versed in short films, but David Slade's Do Geese See God? gets its point across well enough. Here, a man seeks salvation from mysterious instructions giving him arbitrary tasks. In the end, he realizes the foolishness in never stopping to smell the roses, shown here as him never, well, stopping to smell the roses.One could probably interpret it a few different ways, of course. As I described the tasks the man must go through as "arbitrary", I began to wonder whether the director might have intended a subtle jab at religion. The meaning, of course, would not change should this be the case: enjoy the pleasures of life before you waste it looking for something more. Who knows?Though the bit about the roses is a little heavy-handed, everything else is here. Take the 10 minutes out of your life to check it out, its worth the watch, and if it seems repetitive at times... I suppose that is just the point. 8/10, perhaps.
