SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Steineded How sad is this?
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
fbcandy This short film is a bit thrilling and complicated. I could not understand what is going on in the story and most people would probably not be able to understand what the gift truly is the first time they watch it. However, after we figure it out, this short film's story becomes very clear. Also, though we do not understand what the gift truly is, we can not take our eyes off from the film because it makes us be drawn into it. The view of the world in this film is like a science fiction and there are some thrilling scenes. The scenes change at a dizzy speed and it ends very suddenly. I can not say what happens at the end, but I really want to see a continuation of this film. I recommend you to watch it a few times to figure out what the gift is and you will be satisfied by it.
Reb Mevon One thing that entertains me is the mysteries of this film; why is the mailman checked by means of the test on his tongue and what does the box contain? The mystery which remains a mystery made me think about this and that. The story unfolds leaving me behind, and it produces a kind of tension. Coupled with white snow backgrounds in which one won't see something living, the tension continues getting higher, and it glued my eyes to the screen. Other entertaining elements which take me to the other world is, for example, the combination of the present-day houses and the future-like technology seen in some places and scenes. The gap between them brings about unreality, and it seems to increase the mysteries. Although the gap is an effective element, it also seems unnatural; especially, the robot may look too high-technological. It is possible that the unnaturalness leads to funniness and breaks the serious mood on this film. However, I'm sure that the film is one which I can't take my eyes off of.
skcn1818 This movie is about a box which contains something. When people have it, something bad happens because of the box. When I heard the title, I thought that the movie would be a happy story but it was not. Because the story is different from my imagination, it takes a long time for me to understand the real meaning of the box. I think this movie becomes better if people see it many times. In particular, I am interested in the boy who looks at the box at the end. In this movie, there are many mysteries and people have to think about it by themselves. And so this movie is good.In addition, the camera-work surprised me. When I saw it, I felt as if I would be running with a robot. The camera moves along with the robot and patrol cars and so the film has realism. It makes the audience excited and thrilled.
k0038546 At a chilly place, a man is delivering a box. This might be a normal situation but there are some things which are unusual. A robot dog is walking around. Many men wearing full-faced mask are guarding the road. A robot man is serving a rich family. This situation is making this film tense. When the man arrives to a wealthy man's house, these two men starts to open the box and see what is inside it. Inside this box, "the Gift", is important in this film. After opening it, a scramble for this gift starts. Even a murder happens to get it. With several action scenes and realistic CGs, this film is full of stimulation. The way robots move is like a real creature. It would be quite difficult to understand the meaning of "the Gift", and since this movie isn't so long, about 5 minutes, I recommend you see this movie several times.
