Poor young man! He had just found a friend only to lose him to his companions’ brutal actions. Quite poignant. I loved the young man’s happy dance when he believed he’d captured his first prisoner.
No words for: 'too young to be a warrior', 'I captured an enemy with a slice of melon and I am a warrior now!', 'be silent or we may die', 'you saved my life', 'you're killing an innocent!', 'I didn't kill the enemy', 'I will never forget'. Kudos for a tragedy told in silence.
This is well done. I like the primitive world you have here,i personally think the swords were a bit to over the top fantasy, still a great short movie with good music, story telling and great camera angles. good job!
Seems like a rather technologically primitive people to be carrying swords as fancy as the one at 1:19. "Shut up. It's just a story. If you can't just watch and enjoy it, go away." Fine. Just sayin'.
I really like the tale. As a boy you yearn for the chance to prove yourself to be one of the big kids. But you may find that the initiation is more burden than it's worth.
ssppeellll who says they are primitive, look at the Aztec and Myan civilization they were above us just about with reading the stars and seasons and building pyramids. Making a mold for shields and swords was done by many what some called primitive
It was good. My wife hates to watch a movie with me for this reason. These people were primitive, however they were wearing finished leather with brass fittings and I saw at least one brass shield that had to have been poured in a mold. Where did these come from. I liked the film and the concept. If you could do another in a little greater detail and indicate their tribe may have found those items it would cover all bases. I'm sorry, loose ends just bother me.
+rickd248 I had the same reaction... what is a stone age culture doing with bronze implements? Plus those swords looked like they might be iron. The chains too, and were they just for show? The guy' took them off his legs with no trouble.
An excellent production and screenplay. Too many of these comments indicate a naked and glaring cultural bias and ignorance that got in the way of them enjoying the film. How sick is that? It's a neurosis. The kind that fuels racism, sexism and all the other 'ISM Schisms' that pervade Western cultures. The film is set in a environment that is very HOT so of course they would not be wearing much clothes. That has nothing to do with technology. The terms stone age, bronze age, and iron age are three classic divisions of history based on the chief material used for tools and weapons at different stages in the history of 'man'. These ages were first used as classifications for dating artifacts found in *Europe* . They are not referred to quite as often as they used to be because, as it turned out, dates varied drastically for the uses of these metals around the world and even among the various parts of Europe more than was first thought. Some civilizations skipped a period: Sub-Saharan Africa went straight from stone to iron skipping Bronze Age altogether. All of the precious metals are present in Asia and, just as in Africa, the use of alloys started earlier than Europe. Along with mining for gemstones. So the intricate wood carvings which match perfectly with the delicate work on those leather girdles, the dyes used for body art and tattoos, the jewelry AND the swords are *not* far fetched by any means. Try accepting this gift, of hard work and dedication invested in this film, as it is and keep the presuppositions to yourself. So that those who have not seen it don't have their experience ruined due to the ignorance others.

Very sophisticated short, puts to shame many main stream films. Deserves an award from some one. Well done to all involved.
Done exceedingly well, not easily & point well taken. Deserved "kudos" to all involved...
I thought it was terrific. Should be required viewing in all US secondary schools. Thanks!
I like how you managed to convey what you needed to without words.
ssppeellll Yeah,I feel the same way
Maybe they were telepathic , every thought of that ?
Well done! All the best to you!
I'm the first commenter here, i watched it twice already. Keep making good movies like this. So, natural and so cool. Keep up the unique work.

"Shut up. It's just a story. If you can't just watch and enjoy it, go away."
Fine. Just sayin'.
ssppeellll ,I was actually thinking the same as you (the first part of what you' ve said)
Unlike you I think it's alwas cool to think, tought.
ssppeellll and it looked really plastic! I mean for all the nice make up they should have just made sticks with some carved stones on the end
Yup the prop department dropped the ball with that one.

Well made.
