Why is it you only know how to make sad depressing videos? Is your view of reality just that dark? How about trying to make videos with joy and hope for their theme. Science fiction doesn't have to be dark and hopeless.
I mean lets be real here. He probably spent a TON of money on that simulation of his wife. A TON! And he only had a 12 month warranty. So clearly he was into his 11th month and wanted to get a brand new model right before the warranty ended. It's all very logical. What I am most concerned about is the security/ return process for the factory/company that sold him those units. Clearly something is lacking as they let one of their units escape and return to its previous location in a damaged state. Most unprofessional.
By comparison this movie is not unlike the automotive industry of today. Build crap that doesn't last and you have to buy another one. I'll bet this Android is totally dependent on those microchips from China.
I both wondered that too, but also, if he was "human" but rage murdered his wife? (because she insisted that one last time that the toilet seat stayed down?) and he downloaded her persona, to a memory stick as she was dying, and so she now she has a sense of free floating dread, but as the last hour of her life was erased, she can never know why? And he of course being a Narcissistic perfectionist with OCD traits about tidiness, and perfection and order, he is doomed to murder her over and over again, cursed like Sisyphus. If they had both been simulants as you suggested then that becomes really interesting, perhaps it was a post apocalyptic, feat. The last "normal" house on earth left standing , TV Show? That a broken down human population tuned into, religiously, for its soothing blandness, and nostalgia for a golden age of TV pap, and it had been running automatically for generations and people tuned into it religiously. But now it was glitching and looping. And the forest couple were just spares, whose parachute, capsule had blown off course. We need to activate Alfred Hitchcock 2.0 the Noir versions would be amazing and he (being a rather unpleasant character) specialised in torturous dread.
Very nicely done! This opens a pandora's box of questions from a legal, moral and humanitarian perspective regarding the killing/shutting down a humanoid being, especially one with our physical form and with emotions and memories, etc. That future is practically at our doorstep.
After the critical race theory, I started to wonder how long until the critical gender theory would come up, but you are already anticipating the critical AI theory. Dope.
Healthy people will never lose their lifesaving "Uncanny Valley Discernment". "Poor reality testing in general" people will strongly prefer counterfeit partners, as long as they are exaggerated and hyperreal, it will be incremental, due to habituation, those humans will eventually come to prize the hyper-exaggerated most strongly Just a tube. or a stick. A species of Gull hatchling responds to the red dot on the parents beak by pecking on the beak and then being reflexively fed. They would also peck just as enthusiastically on a red dot on a yellow stick. We're going to end up as 2 species, and one of them will be permanently tripping. They will have nothing and be happy.

This isn't a new idea, it wasn't even a new idea when SF started becoming popular in the 50s,its a take on an ancient Greek tale , l think from the time of Ovid,just can't remember the title!
This was poignant, loving and dark all at once a cross between Valerie 23 from the outer limits, The Stepford Wives and Black Mirror.... Well done, ladies and gentlemen well done. The dust selection staff absolutely nailed this one in my opinion
Scene opens: Man enters bathroom. Toilet lid raised. Pooping sounds heard. Close-up of toilet as it flushes. Lights go out. Credits roll. "That was a great film!!! Nice camera angles. Keep up the good work!!"
@@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens some men don't mind flat especially if those men are looking for an exact replica of their soulmate. But anyway. As for *psychological* upgrades ... yeah, I think you twigged it. First one was done to be a little more aggressive (probably because he was still younger then), second one a little more homey.
Very good short film science fiction. I really enjoyed this one. The opening is a real attention getter - with a beautiful house amidst a gloomy background and then a drone delivering a bottle of wine. The rest of the video is nice and the-end has a crazy, moral, dark twist. I need more sci-fi film like this.
I may have liked this short more if DUST hadn’t spoiled it with the thumbnail like they so often do. But I watched it. I liked it. And now I’ve commented on it. So why would DUST ever change their practices if viewers like myself continue to fully engage with their channel? I feel for the creators of this short who weren’t given a fair chance at impressing their viewers because of a clickbait thumbnail that spoils the plot twist.
You're neglecting video description too totally gives things away, even more so: "An accidental encounter with an uninvited guest disrupts Alice's life. As her husband Tom's hidden secret gradually surfaces, Alice finds herself one of the bio-mechanical substitutes of his deceased wife." Not sure if that's Dust's or directors' choosing, but that's bigger; I opened many tabs so barely glanced at thumbnail, so didn't notice. Then I read the description, and like you, sort of "well that spoils entire storyline most likely but I'll watch anyway". Mixed feelings about film (hated mostly predictable ending; before that, reasonably good) but I'd imagine choice of Video Summary is in Directors' hands?If so, ask them why they want to give away plot.If it's Dust, then double spoiler actions by Dust, not cool.
Here's a tip. If you are going to be murdered, by gunshot, put your hand up to the gun so the bullet that kills you goes through you hand. This way there's no doubt you were murdered. This makes it more likely your murderer will face justice. I saw that in a old movie. Probably.
I wonder if it's visible to the people behind it? And are they trying to make us forget that phones have cameras? If your ccd is transparent, wouldn't the light (ie image) go right through it?
@@bernds6587 but the pod was in her dream…which makes this even more chilling because what are our dreams but a way for our brains to make sense of our world. If she was dreaming than that makes her all the more human to me.
Outstanding. But am I the only one here willing to treat a android THAT real as though it IS real? I could never have shot her as he did. That was cruel and speaks volumes of what kind of person he is. he didn't deserve her.
Yes but hitting the remote off button like shutting off your TV or manually turning off the switch would not give you the emotional connection to feel for her...
Plot twist. What happens if two android companies each have seperate contracts with each spouse and neither knows it, one dies and gets replaced then the other dies and is also replaced, then you have 2 replicants who don't know they are not the original.... Blockbuster movie
No matter sophisticated we become in external wealth it's never enough to make is truly happy. True happiness can only come from a joy that is spiritual, from bring one with our creator.
🟦...."Missteps in Execution?.... Criticism without details is worse than useless,... Saying things that allude to something being wrong without saying exactly WHAT it is makes that statement so nebulous as to be worse than if you hadn't commented it all.
If this was my situation , I would have stayed with her letting her know the truth . If that was actually her mind in there , It would have made more sense to live with the truth than trying to cover it . Great movie altogether , looking forward to more.
well-acted. taking the ending as symbolic as shooting her is admittedly more dramatic than a memory wipe. the silliest part is: why would he even care whether she knows? If it really mattered that much, why wouldn't they just instruct her not to tell him? I mean, It would be a more realistic marriage if they kept at least *one* important secret from each other, no?
Great film. The trope of the replacement android loved one - that doesn’t know - has had a mixed history in SF. But Oblivio did it well. Probably because the former wife was set against the new one and the excellent ending of the husband killing them both. But I think more importantly because female actor was outstanding. The two ‘wives’ were so different, but still bound to the man. A nice touch. I am not sure where the pod in the forest fits in, - future spares? (but why out in the forest and not in a lab?) but hey, not everything must make sense. Great work though.
@@raggedbreath if you read the comments before you watch the film. You get spoilers. The comments are supposed to be about the film….. I always avoid reading the comments first…. Bit different if we were talking about a film in cinemas or yet to be released.
I hope to get my own android wife as well in my lifetime. Imagine an obedient wife that doesn't display jealousy, greed, hate, but most important of all, she will never back talk me....never. The perfect wife.
@@bernds6587 I think they did with the entry pad in the beginning saying she was a unauthorized entry. At least this is where I first noticed something was up...
It made perfect sense. He paid for a replicant of his dead wife and the program glitched with his first purchase. The second model functioned perfectly until the first model showed up, damaged the second model and made it self aware. Now he has one malfunctioning model that is dangerous and a 2nd model that will now behave outside of the parameters that he paid for; since the customer isn't satisfied I see a refund and a new model in his future.
First of all, you had me at the alcohol-drone-delivery service. Secondly, we all know that all android returns should be wiped clean before the return is put into service, duh... If not the returned android will obviously be acting on memory residue that hasn't been over written by zeroes. By the same token, never buy a refurbished android for this very reason, not making that mistake again!
Great short, ugly man. I'm going to stew about his dark and narcissistic soul for several hours now. Thanks, dust! But, really, that is a terrific accomplishment to get such an emotional and intellectual reaction from me in such a short time. It's been a wonderful cinematic experience!
@@timmooney7528 l'm of the school that the download is but a counterfeit, not a continuation of the consciousness of the original. A CD of my voice is not part of me, but would fool someone in the next room. The original consciousness is, a one time only artifact, which is so complexly embedded in the body consciousness. A copy in a different vessel would be anything but old wine in new jars! But the carrot of immortality is being dangled before billions hmmm. Still no Jetsons flying cars yet. The more immediate issue is that intelligent/ creative people would be copied, and in a way that their employers didn't just own their output, they owned their cognitive means of production, they would lose their copyright on their very selves, and a right to that unique style and the right to earn a living. Data is the new oil and we're being data fleeced on social media etc the next step, could be, cut out the middle man, own the essence of a person. The portable version without the messy flesh suit.
@@Bytheirfruitsshall Either way I feel it is disrespuctful to the legacy of his wife to create a replica or copy without her consent. Doesn't knowing you can replace or copy a person after they pass make their life less precious? For example, would you not take time to spend with your family if you create those lost moments with a replica?
Usually, when I watch a film in which someone sees him-/ herself in a dream, I am done with it! I mean: just try to have a look at your own hands, next time you dream ... Fortunately, the ending still had an element of surprise in it.
Reminds me of the poorly distributed 2018 movie "Extinction", where I thought it was another alien invasion movie, but it turned out to be us taking back our homes and land that the A.I.s who surpassed us had taken away from us. Another interesting twist.
Maybe you makers should use giant credits so that they remain legible even when DUST shrinks your screen in the closing seconds. Otherwise why bother with credits?
Would of been better if the dude was also a robot. A drone fell on Henry and Amazon uploaded his mind into a robot after he died to continue his prime orders.
I wonder how many Alices are wandering in the woods? ))) The one hiding her face under the hood was probably lost during delivery and returned to sender) Well done! Besides, I always like to watch at all those transparent smartphones, AR, androids... Makes me feel more at home.
in my opinion, if he told her at the beginning that her conscience had been moved into a machine to permit her continue to live, probably everything would have gone well
Pretty violent for love. Decommissioning a machine would have been far more proper? Answers the question about how we don't want to let go of those we love because we hold them so dearly. This had a pretty violent ending though. Very creative. The 21st century possibilities?

A sad lover story in a sci-fi setting. You must have done it right because I teared up a little at the end.
This is why responsible owners don't let corrupted AI robots roam freely in their backyard.

Always want to have the latest upgrades
Excuse me sir, we'd like to talk to you about your android's extended warranty...
@@banjoclown5363 Hello....this is a message from ANDROID WARRANTY SERVICE calling about.......

All the while, he’s oblivious to his own replicant status (there were two figures in the memory transfer capsule in her dream)

To be fair many of the videos here already existed before DUST.

Well done. A different take on the theme pioneered long ago by " The Stepford Wives".

That's all I need. A personal com device that's invisible

I love dusting theses days!
I hope technology never gets this far.
It will

I've seen this theme many times. It's never the husband that gets replaced only the wife... maybe because wives would just move on
It's because robots don't get paid much.
Women prefer things they can manipulate and mentally play with, toasters with dildos are boring.

Talk about dystopian. There wasn't a character in this that wasn't majorly screwed in the mental department, man or machine.

He should have first checked the warranty about returns of factory defective products.

Reminds me of the poorly distributed 2018 movie "Extinction", where I thought it was another alien invasion movie, but it turned out to be us taking back our homes and land that the A.I.s who surpassed us had taken away from us. Another interesting twist.
The one on Netflix?
This is a sci-fi version of empty marriages...
DAMN!
Awesome as always!
If it was me... "You mean I got a new robot body? Cool!"
Well that was interesting !!!!
I love these short movie type videos.
Keep up the good work. . . .
Great job !!!
Great twist ending!
Wakes up with perfect makeup… I need to find a woman like that, mine wakes up looking like the clown from “It”
How convenient is it to use transparent phones like in the movie? I think it's totally useless
Great way to lose your phone
Was beautifully shot...
Well, the first one certainly was a good shot form that distance with a pistol. Not sure if i would call it beautiful though..... :-)
Maybe you makers should use giant credits so that they remain legible even when DUST shrinks your screen in the closing seconds. Otherwise why bother with credits?
They are perfectly readable on my screen as they are now.
usually they are also in the video description.
“I’m sure she won’t be back.”
Wow - Didn't see that coming, at the end. By that point, my imagination was concocting a different ending. Thank you for sharing your work :)
Would of been better if the dude was also a robot. A drone fell on Henry and Amazon uploaded his mind into a robot after he died to continue his prime orders.
I wonder how many Alices are wandering in the woods? ))) The one hiding her face under the hood was probably lost during delivery and returned to sender) Well done! Besides, I always like to watch at all those transparent smartphones, AR, androids... Makes me feel more at home.
in my opinion, if he told her at the beginning that her conscience had been moved into a machine to permit her continue to live, probably everything would have gone well
Lol, never does

Ignorance is not bliss .
It means L I F E !
visual reality of the hindering of thyself by not being able to let go
That was beautiful tho... ❤️❤️
I am not even going to ask for a full length version this
At the end he have nothing.................. So sad!
Тостер узнал, что он тостер, только после того, как в него воткнули ножик? Офигительная история. Но снято всё красиво, тут без вопросов.
Impressive and not derivative. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty violent for love.
Decommissioning a machine
would have been far more proper?
Answers the question about
how we don't want to let go
of those we love because
we hold them so dearly.
This had a pretty violent ending though.
Very creative.
The 21st century possibilities?
