Independent Short Film: Last Day Dream

December 29th, 2011

I found this Independent Short Film recently and I was pretty impressed. 
I should say up front that there is one usage of a word which some might find objectionable.

Here are some bulletpoints as to why I like it so much:

  • Largely without dialogue
  • Exceedingly short (It was entered into a 42-second Film Festival)
  • Shows glimpses of typical life experiences (similar to this short film)
  • First Person Perspective
  • Moving soundtrack, in terms of instruments and pace
  • I’ve confirmed that the man saying the objectionable word is Pauly Shore

One last observation:  The composure first shot is almost identical to the final shot, which, although dynamically different, completes the story with perfect closure. 

And something perhaps philosophical to consider:  Life looks remarkably different depending on where you are in it, whether you are in the swing being pushed, or if you are the one pushing.

    That WAS Pauly Shore. I rewound it and checked.

    There’s that obsolete word again… rewind :) Something I have been expecting for a while. Younger kids won’t know what it means.

    Yeah, I also confirmed it through other sources. As to rewind, I don’t know if it’s a common expression, but I know a digital video editor who uses the phrase “scrub through” to talk about rewinding and fast-forwarding. The times they are a-changin’.
