Honestly it’s something that happened to me a bit in my playthrough. Their passport just hovering under the deny stamp while I go through a struggle in my head trying to decide if their reasoning was good enough to get a citation. I can feel the pause the actor performed as I went through the exact situation in game. Masterful film
Thanks everyone for the 208 likes! (and still growing). Also i put this in a reply because I didn't want to be that one annoying guy who edits his own comment just to say that.
The main actor in this did a phenomenal job. So little facial expression but his eyes gave way to absolutely everything that he was feeling. Thats acting. Being able to belive that what I am watching is what it is. He felt pain, he felt internal conflict. And it showed.
5:25 i used to work at the passport expedition office and yes, this is accurate you have to make sure all the documents are alright with what the official archives say, sometimes someone else made a mistake and you can't do anything but deny them their passport until they fix their papers. Sometimes, and mostly old people, will beg you to make an exception for them and start telling you the story of their lives, they don't have much time and want to see their children abroad, they always wanted to travel and such, when they start to cry you wished you could do something but there is a reason why there was never an exception.
@@john-pd6ug some movies have actors act for that same ammount of time, while it's exaggerated to compare long films to short ones, he really is pretty goddam good
I played the game back in the day. This pretty much perfectly captures that experience. The despair, the feeling of not knowing if you did the right thing. I must say he did a much better job of getting people through than I ever did... Great work!
Both the photo and Elisa's locket swayed him. Very nice touch, he understood how it is to have a family to feed and the guilt of refusing Elisa still lingered so he let the woman through
So much attention to detail, but my favourite part is the stamps themselves. They are perfectly representative of a cold, mechanical bureaucracy that doesn't care about things like your family going without food or heat for another night. Props to the propmaster.
Especially Elisa’s part, even though she wanted to enter because of Sergiu, she can’t because she has no entry permit. What if she and Sergiu had planned something? Maybe that’s the reason why Sergiu persuaded the Inspector to let her through even though an entry permit is strictly required. Showing empathy because you’re human, but if you showed it to wrong people, you’ll no longer be a human anymore.
He shut down two innocent people, and by the time he got to the third he was feeling guilty and let them through. Ended up costing him, and multiple others, their life.
Btw if the guards were able to hit someone 5 yards away with a rifle or see someone walk up to them in the opposite direction of where they are supposed to go and say “for kolechan”(or how ever you spell there countries name) after the same attack has happened many times before a lot of the attacks could be avoided
I love this. It really captures the feel of the game, and the actors have done a fantastic job of portraying the nuances of the emotions they're going through without overacting. This is a masterpiece.
I imagined the whole scene like it was Her : Please I need to get across, I have a family... Him : * sigh * Okay go ahead Her : Thank You so much Him : Damn, she was so ni- BOOOM
Props to the actor for the Inspector. He's exactly what I imagined. An ever calm man, trying to do his job, not letting too many emotional issues effect him
This short film makes me nostalgic about the game. I also like the fact that the Inspector is not easily swayed by other's emotions. I also like that they portrayed some in-game NPCs. It's a shame they didn't show Ezic.
Who would win? A massive budgeted full length movie based on a popular mmo. Or A 10 minute short film based on a (sort of) underrated indie game about passports

Why can't all video game movies be like this? This is the most faithful live action adaption of a video game ever made, and it's only 10 minutes long. Saw this pop on Steam, but I wasn't sure about it. This video deserves of views and likes.
I didn't say this was a movie, I said it was a live action adaption in the form of a short film. Second, I said, "Why can't all video game movies be like this?" Means exactly that.
@@solarvortex5793 Yeah like wtf, everyone comments about stuff and most of the time they are talking about the video, other times they meme a lot. I can even comment spoilers: Batman and Superman die in Endgame.
everyone still is a human. but they also have rules to follow and mouths too feed. i like the idea that, behind this cold inspector in his uniform still is a man with own problems and feeling.
This is absolutely incredible. For a short film based off of an indie game, I did not expect the quality to be this good. Thank you for making this, it was a delight to watch^^ (P.S. Along with writing out the subtitles of course.)
That blast was so cool and scary jumpscared the shit out of me. Captured the atmosphere so well they should make this a 2 and a half hour film I would watch it 3 times in a row hahaha
I know a lot of video game movies have lazy writing and a lot of them are cash grabs *cough* Uwe Boll *cough* , but with good writing I think it would make a damn good movie
The concept is very self contained but that doesn't stop it from allowing incredible world building and character development. It's a good framework for a brilliant character and (in-world) politics driven movie.
This film is so beautifully done. The production value is incredible! The sound design especially really captivated me. The actors were all also absolutely fantastic! I adore this film.

@@EriksGarbage at 6:24 you can see the husband's name matches, Isaac Robinsky. It would be exceedingly rare that he takes on her family name, although in this case it was likely falsified either way.
I work as a security guard at an amusement park. A child hands me a ticket. Sometimes the child looks at me with frightened eyes. I check the ticket and the child. If there's something wrong with the ticket, I tell the child. "You're the wrong height. It's not tall enough. You can't go through this gate." At that moment, this song plays in my head. When I see a security guard and parent taking away a child who is crying, "I want to ride," my heart aches. But with time, I'll be able to stamp that child's ticket. I'll wait at this gate for decades until then. Until one day that child passes through this gate with a smile on his face... I love this job. Hooray for papers please!
The casting is extraordinary. I never thought of what the inspector would look like until I saw this film and thought " that's him. that's EXACTLY what he looks like". Brilliant. Amazing job.
I love that guy. You damn near know for a fact that his last passport is a fake too, but it's faked perfectly. "Just get in, you old coot. Well played."
@@maxwellfraleigh4533 omg how could you deny Jorji's last attempt xD He was the much needed relief from agonizing over other sob stories and decisions in the game.
I think this is like an inspector before the one you play as in the game, and so the ezic doesn’t seek assistance from an inspector who isn’t new, and is more loyal
Purple Guy, No all the events that happened, like Elisa and the man and the wife were events that happened in the game, so this IS the one that we play as in the game, not before
The name of the main actor is Igor Savochkin. And I still didn't know he was dead. Unfortunately, I do not know his other roles in films, but even here I can understand that this is a good actor. Upon learning that he was gone, I immediately opened this film and watched it to remember it again. Rest in peace, Igor Savochkin.
Well it’s just because it was made by russians Also I think appropriate language is not necessarily russian it can be german as well because game was inspired by Checkpoint Charly
The passports, documents, handwriting, signs, and everything else is in English. They're speaking English. The official language of the glorious state of Arstotzka is...English. We know that for certain, though not really why, heh. It just so happens that the film is in Russian because it was produced by a Russian crew with Russian actors, requiring the audience imagine they're speaking English. Picture 'The Hunt for Red October' or any American film with a foreign setting, and it's the same, just reversed. ;)
@@MarkSynthesis dude if something is dubbed/produced in English that doesn’t mean it’s the official language of the story. Like imagine if the developers intended to make the game in Russian setting would they write everything in that language? I don’t think so as most of the players simply won’t understand. It works only in the movies because it’s possible to make subs but in game everything is already in text not in speech However names of the people sound slavic and names of the cities sound similar to ones in real socialist countries so if the language of the story actually exist and it’s not arztotzkian or something it most likely won’t be English as those names are not normal in it
@@evdokiasovetova5956 I figured it was based on checkpoint charly you know a few days ago I was listening to the the podcast called cold war conversations and the guy who dose it has people who worked,lived or served during the cold war and one episode he had an american border guard who served in check point charly up to the point of the falling of the wall it's amazing the story's these people have to tell
Man this is amazing actor, Scene, filter, props, and lighting 1000/10 sure you're not sponsored by them? I'm somehow into movie making beside my main tech passion
Make money as much as possible without getting caught, thats the way to play. You're working for pretty much the Soviet Union anyway. Besides, why are you working if not for the family?
@@Commodore22345 morality vs humanity. one would help strangers because it is a part of human nature to what end or for what reason is hardly understood, morality is generally a guiding star for "what is right" for individuals and as such there is no true "right" answer. like ideas, different individuals have differing morals
Hahahaha that's always gets me But all jokes aside, as someone who handles people's loan and have to deal with a bunch of IDs, you'll be surprise how many people that have the same name, different spelling, or even worse, different initials
I'm Belorussian (I have a Russian name and I speak Russian as well) and our names are always spelt differently in English. In my passport my surname is spelt with "Y" and in other documents it is spelt with "I". It just always happens to us (sorry 4 possible grammar mistakes)
I first saw this many years ago, I remember being very impressed. TH-cam has just recommended this to me again, and I must say, it's still as good as I remembered
A few days ago, the actor who played the inspector died. His name was Igor Savochkin. Rest in peace Inspector. You will be allowed into paradise without showing your documents. Glory to Arstotzka!
The actor who played the inspector (Igor Savochkin) passed away today. :( Thank you very much for giving me such a high-quality and elaborated image that I wanted to believe in when watching the movie. You are perfectly accustomed to the role! We will remember you!
Dude if I was rich, I'd spend so much money turning games into movies. This is epic! Also shame on him for not letting Elisa through after he said he would!
@@ramppappiaThe inspector's salary is shit and in the long run the reprimands are annoying but with Elisa it's an exception, the day after letting her spend with Sergiu, she leaves 100 credits at our house :)

李威志 Hello, I have no passport, but my dad is dying in Arstotzka, so you have to let me in or I will not be by his side when he dies. Also, I have two pistols and a bomb, but that’s besides the point.
Sadly Igor Savochkin actor who plays the inspector passed away at 2021 but we will remember him for being part of this short film. 😔

Why can't all video game movies be like this? This is the most faithful live action adaption of a video game ever made, and it's only 10 minutes long. Saw this pop on Steam, but I wasn't sure about it. This video deserves of views and likes.
DarthCruciare87 Well first off this is not a movie. Secondly, it's harder to get a good director to take something like video games seriously.
I didn't say this was a movie, I said it was a live action adaption in the form of a short film. Second, I said, "Why can't all video game movies be like this?" Means exactly that.
and has

Because the game has a realistic premise it actually works as a movie aswell as a game not all games can easily be turned into movies
Damn, this movie is actually so close to the game in terms of climate. I wouldn’t actually mind seeing over 1 hour of an adaptation of the whole game.
Wont mind? I want a full 2:30 hour movie
Yeah it's done in an amazing way

@Pink Gradient Man Who goes through comments while watching a video? Unless it's music
Were not allowed to talk about the video in the comments? Tf
@Pink Gradient Man TBH, if you go to a forum discussing endgame and got spoiled it's your fault. Same situation here.
@@solarvortex5793 Yeah like wtf, everyone comments about stuff and most of the time they are talking about the video, other times they meme a lot. I can even comment spoilers: Batman and Superman die in Endgame.
@Pink Gradient Man That's their own fault.
I love how passionate this project was. I watched it years ago and it still holds up as just amazing.
Its not easy to get torn apart from the inside, you can just see how much he wants to help.
That's so right. It's really hard to not be a softy and let people in, but I guess that's the job of an inspector; be tough.
everyone still is a human. but they also have rules to follow and mouths too feed. i like the idea that, behind this cold inspector in his uniform still is a man with own problems and feeling.
Thing is, he knows he is f'ed if he doesnt follow orders since he has his family
In this movie when he decides to be nice, its an atack but ok
Ah man, he’s definitely gonna get a citation for that

He is missing being bald
is potato man a reference from jacksepticeye?
@@datboifatboi1620 yep
Yes
This is absolutely incredible. For a short film based off of an indie game, I did not expect the quality to be this good.
Thank you for making this, it was a delight to watch^^
(P.S. Along with writing out the subtitles of course.)
Half of the country budget is spent on red ink
It is supposedly an URSS republic so it could be true...
Red ink is supposedly the cheapest.
Or was that red dye only?
@@TheNativeEngine I see what u did there
the other half on green ink
That blast was so cool and scary jumpscared the shit out of me. Captured the atmosphere so well they should make this a 2 and a half hour film I would watch it 3 times in a row hahaha
No kidding! I watched this about a year ago, knew it was coming and *still* jumped! They did a great job.
@@songsayswhat Yeah this short film was very well made
I jumped too
My heart dead ass like migyt have exploded when that happend jump scared me so hard
i thought he was going to be vince lestrade lol
I would watch an entire movie of this based on the game. It would be a perfect historical fictional drama!
I know a lot of video game movies have lazy writing and a lot of them are cash grabs *cough* Uwe Boll *cough* , but with good writing I think it would make a damn good movie
The concept is very self contained but that doesn't stop it from allowing incredible world building and character development.
It's a good framework for a brilliant character and (in-world) politics driven movie.
YESSS! I was thinking the whole time "i wish it was a full movie!"
Little potato man in the flesh he was in this short film I believe
@@kungflupenguin1067 God bless Jorji, that's all I'll say

I work as a security guard at an amusement park.
A child hands me a ticket.
Sometimes the child looks at me with frightened eyes.
I check the ticket and the child.
If there's something wrong with the ticket, I tell the child.
"You're the wrong height. It's not tall enough. You can't go through this gate."
At that moment, this song plays in my head.
When I see a security guard and parent taking away a child who is crying, "I want to ride," my heart aches.
But with time, I'll be able to stamp that child's ticket.
I'll wait at this gate for decades until then.
Until one day that child passes through this gate with a smile on his face...
I love this job.
Hooray for papers please!
Love the fact that they included Jorji Costava, even with just only his name. Goes to show what a character he has left an impression on.
He's actually presented in the film at 6:14
Hehe Jorji :)

The casting is extraordinary. I never thought of what the inspector would look like until I saw this film and thought " that's him. that's EXACTLY what he looks like". Brilliant. Amazing job.

JadePrincess I searched my heart and found the officious bureaucrat within
its crazy how well made this is. this was truely the beginning of huge quality short film on youtube
Everythings great, except for the lack of the ezic order
But damn, they should make like, an actual 90 minute movie based off of this game
I think this is like an inspector before the one you play as in the game, and so the ezic doesn’t seek assistance from an inspector who isn’t new, and is more loyal
Purple Guy, No all the events that happened, like Elisa and the man and the wife were events that happened in the game, so this IS the one that we play as in the game, not before
Krystian Laubach. To that I say “hell yes!!”
Thats will be a real movies
Do you have 90 minutes?
This is the most evil play through of an inspector. He even detained Jorji.
Nah. Most evil would be detaining everyone because the guard bribed you.

The name of the main actor is Igor Savochkin. And I still didn't know he was dead. Unfortunately, I do not know his other roles in films, but even here I can understand that this is a good actor. Upon learning that he was gone, I immediately opened this film and watched it to remember it again. Rest in peace, Igor Savochkin.

I actually wasn't expecting this to be in an appropriate language. I was just ready for russian accent english.
Well it’s just because it was made by russians
Also I think appropriate language is not necessarily russian it can be german as well because game was inspired by Checkpoint Charly
The passports, documents, handwriting, signs, and everything else is in English. They're speaking English. The official language of the glorious state of Arstotzka is...English. We know that for certain, though not really why, heh.
It just so happens that the film is in Russian because it was produced by a Russian crew with Russian actors, requiring the audience imagine they're speaking English. Picture 'The Hunt for Red October' or any American film with a foreign setting, and it's the same, just reversed. ;)
@@MarkSynthesis dude if something is dubbed/produced in English that doesn’t mean it’s the official language of the story. Like imagine if the developers intended to make the game in Russian setting would they write everything in that language? I don’t think so as most of the players simply won’t understand. It works only in the movies because it’s possible to make subs but in game everything is already in text not in speech
However names of the people sound slavic and names of the cities sound similar to ones in real socialist countries so if the language of the story actually exist and it’s not arztotzkian or something it most likely won’t be English as those names are not normal in it
@@evdokiasovetova5956 I figured it was based on checkpoint charly you know a few days ago I was listening to the the podcast called cold war conversations and the guy who dose it has people who worked,lived or served during the cold war and one episode he had an american border guard who served in check point charly up to the point of the falling of the wall it's amazing the story's these people have to tell
Thankful they added English captions too. They nailed everything...
