      @edbailey7533 5 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      @@Thomas-lh4hf I'm sorry you didn't like it, but you might be missing a point about the story. The lead character has been through the events as we see them unfold, many, many times. He's long past having any emotions about the things going on around him. All he wants to do is to save his brother, and he's devoted all this effort toward that one goal. It's his brother he's emotional about, and we see that only at the end, when he realizes the painful truth of the situation.
      Now, the lead actor may or may not have done the best possible job of portraying that character, but a key part of the story is that he's so fixated on his mission that he hasn't got *time* for emotions.

      No, that is not the last moment. That is the 381st attempt. The guy who memorized 400 lines of code just to make a 6 grade kid happy can't let go of his brother, even if they only spoke twice in 4 years. He won't give up, he spent 380 days not giving up.
      This time they are going to talk after the phone gets wet and well into the afternoon. Maybe, just maybe, this is the exit. If not, tomorrow it's the 382's day.

    Superbly amazing. He watched his brother die nearly 400 times over. His brother in the end said that "firemen don't run away from fires". All he wanted was to soend time with his brother. He finally let go and acceoted his brothers fate and allowed them to have this final bonding and human connection. That way, when the time comes he could say goodbye properly, and let his brother go out and save people with the remainder of the life he has left. His brother would not die in vain running away from danger but instead run full-tilt straight into the flames and rip other people, strangers out from it's grip. Everybody dies eventually, is it not noble to do so bravely and to make your last action something which helps your fellow humans?

    Loosely similar to "The Butterfly Effect" with Ashton Kutcher. The protagonist kept using his time-traveling ability to try to avert a negative outcome. But no matter what he did, the outcome was always negative. Only in the end when he gave up on his goals and gave up on trying to create a positive outcome for himself, did the outcome actually become positive.

    This is truly awesome. I love short films where character is placed over special effects or even the core premise. I think at its heart, this story is about how love is communicated, and how trying to keep somebody around doesn't mean anything if the relationship isn't there. Seeing all the pains that he went through to keep his brother alive was really moving, and gave a heartbreaking clarity to the sterile and emotionless nature of the first half of the short film. 10/10, flipping excellent

      lol "physics enthusiast", there is a reason this is called sci-fi, hate to tell you time travel will never be possible. it is impossible. Einstein couldn't solve his own equation for it, and nobody since then has either. The equation for time travel, theoretically speaking, is easier to solve than other equations that are much more difficult that have already been solved. so if time travel was a thing, it would already be possible and many, many people would be able to do it.

    It's amazing how many commenters want to either add something to it or take something away from it. It was a nice take on a concept many of us have seen, which does not invalidate it at all. Not being a multimillion dollar production, it can have a couple glitches-far more expensive films do. They did a great job, and did not waste the viewer's time with extra BS.
