    "What's your plan?" "Well, I thought we'd go back, with one knife between the two of us, and overpower him and his buddy." "Um... can we bring more than one knife?" "F*k you, Jeff, I found the tunnel, I make the plan."

      lol. at first i thought,.. What did he hit the guy with? a swimming pool fun noodle? the guy turned around like it didn't even phase him. but then i remembered, they said he was a tweaker... So he was probably all spun out on meth and didn't even feel it. lol

  • @araastro5073
    @araastro5073 4 года назад +87

    It makes sense. Earlier he talked about how the police found the killer's body as well as one unidentified body. He was the unidentified body. They couldn't identify him, because he wasn't supposed to exist in that time period as an adult. He's from 20-30 years into their future, so ofcourse he wouldn't show up in any of their systems. Only his child self is meant to exist in that time. So, his child self continues to live his life, with the tragedy that his adult self accidentally set in motion, until he reaches the point in his life where he finds the tunnel and takes his friend through it, which leads to his death. It's a paradoxical loop. His desire to save his parents is what ended up getting them killed. By travelling to his past as an adult in an attempt to kill the murderer before the murderer kills his parents, he accidentally ends up giving the murderer a reason to go and kill them. It's a loop. Neither of them can escape from it, because by the time they realize they're in the loop the events that caused it have already happened. Btw this is not my comment it is somebody elses big brain but im just spreading it around so that it has a better chance of getting looked at as his was a reply

      Hey, I remember commenting this some years ago. Lol, this is a first for me. I did reply it to someone. I suppose I could go dig it up to prove it, but I don't particularly feel the need to prove that. I know I made this reply and that's enough for me.
      Anyway, thanks for the repost, man. First time I see someone reposting something I said to help it get attention. I suppose I should be flattered, but I was really just dissecting the movie for someone who didn't fully understand what happened.
      Since then, I've also come to understand the underlying message of the movie, which escaped me at the time of making that post. It's about letting go of your past and not letting a tragedy of your past define your future. Let it go and move on and you'll live a much happier and more fulfilled life. Clinging on to the past with this level of obsession means you don't really have a future of your own until you've learned to cope.
      I always liked this movie short. It's a great movie.

      @daveross7731 2 года назад

      Why couldn't they identify the brother? It doesn't say how badly the body is burned. Even with burned body to a crisp, some DNA should still be viable and there is also tooth impressions.
      Which could lead the police to believe it is the future brother of Jeff.

    • @daveross7731
      @daveross7731 2 года назад +1

      Also if they go back in time to kill the murderer of their parents, what happened the first time? The first loop or iteration when they were only kids but the future selfs were not there. The murderer wouldn't be there either. There has to be a first iteration to start with and then for the plot to even happen they would need to travel back in time and a reason to travel back in time which they wouldn't have there would be no future them to bring the murderer over.

    • @daveross7731
      @daveross7731 2 года назад

      You spreading it around sounds like, spreading around lies without realizing it. Just as the brothers don't realize they are part of the loop as the video clearly suggests.
      But there still has to be a 1st iteration where there are no future them in the past.

    I also think it shows that everything happens for a reason. I've learned to live my life looking at it this way and it has helped me through so much. Even when things happen, and not just bad things, but things we don't understand at the time, you come to learn at some point they will play a part somewhere in your life. You just need to open up your eyes and see it. There are signs and meanings everywhere, and if you don't dwell on anything, good bad or otherwise, you will start to see them and see the meanings behind them. Watching this reminds me of that.

      Not quite the same thing.
      This makes it clear the future selfs cause their parent's murder. So what happened in the first iteration? What caused the murderer to go there? Who was the unidentified burned body, if there was one? Why would there be fire at all? We don't see Jeff start the blaze. If he did set it, why doesn't Jeff just not set the blaze and drag his brother's body back so there is no unidentified body?

    I'm afraid I don't quite understand your villain with the long blond hair. What was his motivation for killing them? Why is he seemingly not affected by punches and stabs? Why do your characters consistently hit him once and they pause in awe? Why is he all terminator one moment and then is all "Ughhh!!!", "I'll kill you!" the next? How does a downward swing of an axe create that kind of wound on a bicep?
    Really not meaning to be too harsh, those are just a few things that confused me about the short.

    • @ThePickledGamings
      @ThePickledGamings 6 лет назад +23

      I had to watch it again for the motivation but here's what I think it is:
      The son (protagonist) is Jeff Hunter Jr., so the villain with the long hair thought he was being attacked in the night by Jeff Jr. He reads his ID, and finds the name, then looks into the phone book to find where Jeff Hunter lived, and found Jeff Jr.'s dad. So the time travel WAS his motivation for murder.
      Can't explain his godlike immunites though.

      @jacobrobertdesio9265  6 лет назад +31

      You’re right on the plot.
      For the “invulnerability” you should look up the inhuman things people on meth and PCP can do. You can run on broken legs and lift heavy objects while tearing all the tendons from the bone and still keep going - it’s terrifying stuff

      Student Chao Ren they needed that in the plot to figure out why he went to their house (because they went to attack him as adults) if he just had his driver’s license, they wouldn’t realize it was their fault he found the parents - if you mean driver’s license of one of the boys as adults, that would have caused all sorts of confusion in the past when they were children - and also would have led him to another address (assuming jeff didn’t stay in the family home)

    Nicely done. Good acting, pretty good dialogue/script, well done story and good pacing. Production wise I especially liked how realistic the hits and whacks sounded. So many movies over emphasize the thuds and cracks and it sounds fake but here they sound real, so well done.
    Only criticisms are that it's a little bit hard to follow and a bit convoluted in the middle but I get that it's a complex story that has to be expressed in a very short time so it's understandable. The second criticism is the score/soundtrack which took me out of the action with the droning synths but I get it's a low budget production and John Williams probably wasn't available so that's also understandable. So, not dealbreaker criticisms at all.
    One of the better time travel shorts I've seen. Good stuff. :)

    I would like to see a true paradox film, one where, no matter what one does to change the past(tens, hundreds of different ways to try to change it), it always ends the same.
    Jacob Robert Desio wrote: "absolutely, there are an infinite variation of choices they could make *but because they keep making the same choices* and have become stuck in a time loop."
    So, really this movie is about insanity. Only insane people think that you can keep making the same choices and end up with a different outcome.

    • @jacobrobertdesio9265
      @jacobrobertdesio9265  7 лет назад

      AlabamaJRB, they have no idea that they have made those choices because they cannot see the future. To them it is always the first time making a decision. There are multiple kinds of paradoxes - mine is based off a predestination paradox which is a "real paradox" - I would recommended researching different paradoxes so you can see how they all are quite different. Also, that is not the definition of insanity. "Insanity" is a legal term that declares a persons mental state or you can take the more modern definition of "someone who is mentally ill" but the whole "insanity is making the same choices hoping for different results" is just something people say - that's not a real thing. Thanks for watching the movie and sharing your thoughts! Have a wonderful day

    That wasn’t hard to understand at all if u understand the concept of a paradox. They went back to save their parents which caused the killing of their parents that they didn’t realise was gonna happen when they decided to do it. When the kid says he saw himself, it was the future him coming back, so it already has happened. That’s when the future him realises it when he says to his mate I saw myself as a kid. It all made sense to me. As for how the killer found their parents, back before the internet u had to look things up in a manual or book. Compare to other paradox shorts this one was simple but got the point across, which is what every paradox shorts need to do. Good job guys!!!

      my problem with finding his dad in the phonebook is.... how did he know his name? he says "my dad is jeff hunter SENIOR" ok.... well, the killer would only know your name as Jeff, nothing else. in a big enough city or town where there's an entire section of town "no one talks about" means the killer wouldn't know who jeff is, especially if jeff (the son) is an adult, not a child, so, i mean, none of that makes any sense. the killer wouldn't have been able to find where they live in a random phonebook just based off the fact that the one character shouted Jeff's name.

      It makes sense. Earlier he talked about how the police found the killer's body as well as one unidentified body. He was the unidentified body. They couldn't identify him, because he wasn't supposed to exist in that time period as an adult. He's from 20-30 years into their future, so ofcourse he wouldn't show up in any of their systems. Only his child self is meant to exist in that time. So, his child self continues to live his life, with the tragedy that his adult self accidentally set in motion, until he reaches the point in his life where he finds the tunnel and takes his friend through it, which leads to his death. It's a paradoxical loop. His desire to save his parents is what ended up getting them killed. By travelling to his past as an adult in an attempt to kill the murderer before the murderer kills his parents, he accidentally ends up giving the murderer a reason to go and kill them. It's a loop. Neither of them can escape from it, because by the time they realize they're in the loop the events that caused it have already happened.

    I read the comments to see what others had to say before I said what I have to say. This was very good The only discrepancy in the whole plan with the young men was they didn't take enough Weaponry with them to confront the drug addict and what were they planning on doing? just holding him for the night Etc. But that is the reality of people who are not aggressors they don't think ahead when they're trying to do something like this they don't really have a plan and they get themselves into very serious trouble. I knew it was going to be something really strange I was just surprised he had them go over to the Killer's house instead of that they were too late by the time they got to the house to stop him but the other ones that saved the boys so you really couldn't change history all you did was save the boys and that the body that was in there was his friend. It's also a very good tale about not living in the past not holding on to your anger over a terrible loss and believe me I've been there in something like this. Bad horrible things happen to good people it's not God doing it it's not your fault just sometimes things happen. I'm hoping that maybe he makes another film sewing this man trying to go back and change things so that even his friend doesn't end up dying in the future. Most important part he learned was you don't look the killer Know Who You Are then the killer doesn't choose you as a victim. Felt the first of cinematography was beautiful the outdoor scenes were just simply gorgeous the murders of the mothers was definitely sadistic enough and thank you for not the excessive blood and gore that it could have been. The voice-over narration was great although hard to hear in the beginning and not quite sure what that was but other than that it was it helped carry the story along. really hope you do well in this line of work because it appears that you have talent and if given a chance could do so much more I know it's extremely competitive especially in this day in age or 10 grand can literally make a really good film so good luck because this was a very good thesis film and I really love time travel films and they're one of the hottest genres around and books Etc so you can't go wrong but I'm sure you'll get into other things also

      The house scenes (everyone on set referred to those shots as "The Murder House") were originally written and choreographed in a two story house and the mother got dragged down the staircase. A couple days before the shoot we lost that location (the property owner decided two days before they only wanted us there five hours and we ended up shooting for thirteen hours so it would have been impossible). Last minute we had to rewrite the scene for the one story house we shot in and the scene suffered because if it. As for the sound I completely agree - the sound is the weakest part of the film in my opinion.

    Watched this and 'Frankie' by Mike Pappa today and both are excellent short films. Possibly the best I have seen ever. Well certainly on the subject of time manipulation for sure.

    These dudes take the Gilligans Island approach to problem solving. Lets try to find guy in drug infested neighborhood that we know nothing about where we could be killed by a host of people instead of something more logical.

      "Gilligans Island approach to problem solving" - perfect fit for this movie plot. I was scanning the comments to see if anyone felt like I did, and you nailed it.

    The thing with time travelling to whenever you want, there's no real hurry. If you fluff it up, you can go again., if you're still alive & able.

    Time travel cannot change anything for it has already happened
    We had already been back in time when the event happened so its always guaranteed
    While we may of caused something that already happened in time travel, we can never change what has already happened
    Alot of time travel clips or shows ignore this but I love that this one did not
