It's rare to find a piece of film that makes you feel anything anymore, let alone one outside of an existing franchise. Great work. Can't believe it took me this long to find.
Agreed completely, it's one the last things from the old world that he'll never have again and he realizes this and all his hope is visibly drained out. It's so sad.
@Mark Hepworth Right? Imagine having such a bias that you think Portland is in ruins, when you wouldn't have known there WERE any riots unless you went to four blocks out of an entire city. Greetings from Portland.
@@cerebrophage7709 agreed...and continued BS about PDX riots is just fine IMO..as it discourages some of the influx of thirsty peeps from the parched southern regions.
Imagine being that guy. You think you're alone, then your scanner shows a nearby teammate. You rush there joyfully, but all you find is a helmet and a gun. The signal's coming right from it.
It reminds me of the mysterious Morse code telegraph signal in _On the Beach_ (1959). The sub goes 10,000 miles to track it down, and... aah, never mind; it's not important.
This is probably one of the best sci-fi short films out there together with some of Dust's work. I love the "show/don't tell" approach. Something Disney Star Wars/Marvel never understood...
Believe it or not.....I know exactly what that guy was feeling.......my wife....ex-wife took off 3 days before our 20th anniversary.....took my daughter with her and apparently turned her against me.....haven't heard from either in almost 4 years now. No idea if my baby girl is ok or not. Since then, due to crushed nerves in my back, my legs quit working a year ago......I've lost everything......I had just started my 19th year of running my own business when my legs quit........yeah.....I'm depressed AF.

I don't understand why ppl in films leave weapons behind, or worse, throw them away. That being said, this was magnificent and I'd love to see a prequel and sequel.
guy who works on machines here that is in fact a thing that happens it is usually powered by batteries or capacitors or something of the sort on equipment that you cannot or should not allow to power off usually so some one doesn't die but if repairs cannot be made or there is no immediate rectification of the problem it is best to attempt to halt the processes or transfer said subjects to hopefully mitigate risk of damage or death
I think it was just a preprogrammed thing, it ran out of power to keep him sleeping and switched to power to wake him up and the lights were factored in, probably as protocol. "Don't wake em up without the alarm"
The desolation of knowing, well and truly, that you are one of the last, if not the last, is utterly terrifying, and this conveyed that masterfully. No boogeymen or monsters, zombies or soldiers, but a man awoken to a riven world and ridden with sorrow, and utter loneliness.
The worst thing to be trapped with is isolation. A monster, animal or enemy human would probably kill you quickly, but isolation forces you stay alive with despair. Then you’re forced to choose between living with it or putting an end to it all.
The woman seems to be well supplied and well equipped, not out of ammo. Her uniform looks new (after 17 years of war!). She openly wears the political symbolic of her army on an enemy territory, which would be risky if she was not connected to her unit, while obtaining neutral clothing would be easy. This brings the conclusion that the enemy actually won the war. Also, there is not much of bodes lying around, except the teammate of the protagonst, who possibly left the shelter recently as well (he had the charged transmitter), but was killed. This suggests that the population had, at best, evacuated, and at worst, was enslaved/exterminated by the enemy forces, who wears the symbols resembling those of the Nazis. In such circumstances it is grossly unwise to trust that woman.
Great film, would love to see a sequel. nothing is scarier then the crushing realization that you are the last living thing on the planet, even zombies or mutants would provide some sort of comfort, some sort of outlet for your energy, but when you're alone......

The twist at the end that he really is the 'last man' but not the last person is really interesting, although I'm not sure if it would have been more impactful if he was just alone forever. In any case, that was amazing!
Honest review. This short film is honestly awesome. There is no story, barely any background, no dialogue. You don't need that to make something engaging while also doing some amazing world building at the same time. You could feel the emotion from the moment he popped out of cryosleep. Confusion, sadness, desperation. It really makes you think about what you would do if /you/ were the last man. If the world you knew was suddenly gone. When it reaches the end you can see their eyes slowly show the realization that they may very well be the only two people left. They put down their arms (presumably) and the war that put them in that situation finally ends. Absolutely amazing. The camera work, the atmosphere, the soundtrack. The bit in the end where ALL sound is cut in order to make you reflect on what you just saw. Ten out of fucking ten would pay to see a movie like this if it were only a tad bit longer.
When your camera work, musical score, post production and acting are on point you dont need shoot outs and action and you dont even need dialogue to make an epic short film. well made
I thought that this movie was so beautiful. It is a short. I understand it can't go on forever. I think the choice to end it where it ends was excellent. I felt like the movie went from some sadness to a little bit of hope to miserable sorrow and then back to hope which was not just wishful thinking but based on some concrete possibilities. Thank you so much for creating this movie and generously sharing it on RUclips. I am pleased that I spent the time I did watching it.
I’ve never felt so lonely and hopeless before watching this video. This was so amazing, it deserves to be a movie. Heck, this even deserves to be a TV series!
this was one of the best short films I have ever watched, thank you so much for this incredible 20 minutes. this was truly amazing, it was visually stunning, the sound track was great, and it made me feel something. Thank you, I can't express how much I appreciate the work you put into this.
@@loucyphers_nightmare no its not. Also many retakes on stories can occur or similarities be found between stories. The making of this story is in memoriam. Gtfo of here if you don't like it.
This was Season Three Episode 1, "Two" of the Classic Twilight Zone TV show, first aired 9/16/1961. Stared Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. This was a really well done production. The scenery and costumes were on point and the build up of suspense (pacing) was right on the mark. Awesome.
I'm not lying to you... I spent 3 years trying to find it and now in 2024-5 it's almost ready... I found it... a gem... that was great for its time... thank you very much for that kind of childhood of good videos!
I think it was a damn good short film it puts the viewer in the characters situation and makes you wonder how it would feel beeing in his shoes. thank you.
This is truly sci-fi done right. Creates unanswered questions and briefly introduces you to entire worlds that can be both disorienting and inspiring. Make the trick to making movies great is to limit the runtime, since this short accomplishes more in 20 minutes than most Hollywood ventures do in 2+ hours.
that's what happens when indie comes in line. They don't have pressure from shitty producers that only target what they're estimating being "what masses wants".
5 years later, still watching this video over again for the 20th time keeping my fingers crossed for a part 2. Please in this day and age of shows that don't matter give us one that does.
It doesn't need a "part 2" It needs the continuation story you write for yourself in your own mind. This is how things used to work before the media studios convinced you to outsource your imagination to them - exclusively and entirely.
...the lucky bastard...for those eyes to be the only ones to ever share a gaze with...The perspective viewpoint, emotional journey, and complimentary soundtrack make this an intense watch and must see! Good job Gavin!!!
it is so rare to feel such emotions with a '' simple '' short film on the internet. What an absolute gem. this film is incredibly well made. i absolutely love it.
this must be a british movie, he can clearly see everything is destroyed around him but he still goes to a red phone and listens for a dial tone? keep it up lol
for as long as he lives... and as he is "The Last Man" that means hard work xD Ofcourse it depends of what exactly he is the last man. Is that city?, county?, state?, country?, continent?, World?, Galaxy? or Universe? LOL
The part where he lost the radios power and where he try’s to call anyone on the radio nearly made me cry that means this is very very well made great job. :]
even the moral concept, is beautiful, that life is more important that war. that even when there is nobody left, two people on enemy sides, should find peace amongst eachother. maybe that is what mr. director was trying to say. in honor of their father.
Well done. One of many standout moments is after he shot the flair. He looks down with no expectations of a reply, but in the reflection of his visor you see another flare...but he's still looking down ! Hurry.. look up...oh crap ...he's gonna miss it ! Then... he looks up and sees it. That was magnificent filmmaking to me. Could not have been done any better. Just one of the exceptional scenes in this well done short. Bravo !
HOLY HECK! The editing, the set design, the props, the costuming, the world building, the acting!!! How was this not a major blockbuster film?? How am I just now seeing this??
the orange box I was really sad when he cried thinking that no one was around. Left alone in isolation. No one to talk to and thinking you are the last man in the world, that really messed me up.
Definitely reminiscent of the old Twilight Zone episode "Two," which similarly had little to no dialogue, and starred only Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.
I realize I have seen this one before. It's an outstanding short, the locations and settings are stunning. Kudos for the music score, too. Kudos for all of it, actually.
Suddenly get recommended for such a great work really worth my time, mysterious opening, despair in the middle, yet a glimmer of hope and humane at the end. Truly amazing work from music, costume and story. Amazing set
It was nuclear war. If you listen closely to the radio signal a person says "The enemy has overwhelmed our defenses with biological and nuclear weapons"
This was terrific! The blasted-out cityscape is one of the best I've ever seen for a post-apocalyptic drama. Love how there is almost no dialogue. The story is conveyed through the actor's reactions to his environment. Also loved how the tech is reminiscent of the chunky-bulky tech of 70s and 80s sci-fi films. Great job!
It's truly amazing how great a movie can be without any dialog what so ever. The expressions tell more about the character and events then any talking would ever do. And the music is perfect for the scenes. Really great film. Do more like this.
@@USFREEDOMU God blew it up the first time because the dinosaurs kept killing eachother, but the humans killed literally everything so gods just pissing on the remnants
Fantastic production value. The city, the wardrobe, props, most of the effects, the acting, all incredible. Like... some of the best I've seen. I love the ending and all of the implications. It's sorta lucky the enemy was a woman, but it's also like... "what would they even fight for?" Which is why I assumed he lowered his gun. There were moments where the story sorta dragged, but it wasn't awful. I made it through to the end, which is more than I can say about my own projects. Brava. Subscribed.
@@gavinrothery8825 Signage in command post and before entrance are not U.S. standard. Weapon is 9mm bullpup, not standard U.S. issue. Breathing gear and armor is more NATO than U.S. Cars are right-hand drive. One poster on the wall is reminiscent of the U.K. Union Jack flag. Male has general facial features of U.K., plus photo with sig other and dog suggest U.K. Enemy uses iron cross insignia; many enemies could be under that banner. First thought is Germany. Poster on wall shows enemy with Eastern Block-style weapon. Enemy helmet looks like his helmet and has English script on it; not Russian. Enemy is using weapon very much like Dragunov or clone thereof. Film shot somewhere in U.K., in my opinion. Same idea for film as an episode of "The Twilight Zone" September 15, 1961, aka "Two" with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. Very well done small budget film.

Thank you so much for creating this movie and generously sharing it on RUclips. I am pleased that I spent the time I did watching it.
"So how much rain do you want?"
"Yes"
They just took a garden hose and held it over his head
At least he had water to drink. Hopefully the rain is clean enough to drink at this point in time after the apocalypse event.
Seattle anyone?
Batman Arkham Knight basically the rain never stops
Rain drink окей 🍷
They didn't have to spend much on props, it was filmed in Detroit before 10am, everyone was still sleeping.
Is Detroit really like that?
@@adityasamal3720 parts of it are.
@@bobayotte2940 so, do you live in Detroit?
@@adityasamal3720 no, but I've been there countless times.
Have you played Detroit become human?
imagine he comes up the sewer cover and comes into 2005 USA, everyone walking around normal. "Fuck."
I’ve never felt so lonely and hopeless before watching this video. This was so amazing, it deserves to be a movie. Heck, this even deserves to be a TV series!
this was one of the best short films I have ever watched, thank you so much for this incredible 20 minutes. this was truly amazing, it was visually stunning, the sound track was great, and it made me feel something. Thank you, I can't express how much I appreciate the work you put into this.
It's literally a remake of a " Twilight Zone" episode that stared Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery, lazy film making
@@loucyphers_nightmare no its not. Also many retakes on stories can occur or similarities be found between stories. The making of this story is in memoriam. Gtfo of here if you don't like it.
@@averagelifeenjoyer : Sorry that you got so upset at what I posted, but I was factually correct
This was Season Three Episode 1, "Two" of the Classic Twilight Zone TV show, first aired 9/16/1961. Stared Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. This was a really well done production. The scenery and costumes were on point and the build up of suspense (pacing) was right on the mark. Awesome.
and of course Elizabeth Montgomery in a short skirt didn't hurt anything....
@@oldegrunt Not one bit. Not at all.
While watching this short, I too remembered something similar with charless bronson. Both were well done
I'm not lying to you... I spent 3 years trying to find it and now in 2024-5 it's almost ready... I found it... a gem... that was great for its time... thank you very much for that kind of childhood of good videos!
I can just imagine the dude here going, "War, war never changes."
It makes me think about that soooo much
Nice.
During the Great War many perished some took refuge in underground vaults your family was one of them
It's very fallout-ish
Ay, fallout reference
So he finds a woman, she brings him back to her camp of only women, then it's death by snoo snoo, nice.
SNOO SNOO
better than death by gumby
still a better love story than twilight
haha, like Castle Anthrax in Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
ohh nice snoo snoo
I think it was a damn good short film it puts the viewer in the characters situation and makes you wonder how it would feel beeing in his shoes. thank you.
Jelliz i don't like beinig in his shoes i won't fit
This is truly sci-fi done right. Creates unanswered questions and briefly introduces you to entire worlds that can be both disorienting and inspiring. Make the trick to making movies great is to limit the runtime, since this short accomplishes more in 20 minutes than most Hollywood ventures do in 2+ hours.
this looks better than Most movies today
dam thats so ture
you mean ghostbusters trash from this year? yes i agree. but ghost busters from 1983, you are wrong.
Right.
that's what happens when indie comes in line. They don't have pressure from shitty producers that only target what they're estimating being "what masses wants".
This is the plot of a Twilight Zone episode from 60 years ago
bruh how much money did it cost to nuke a city to make this movie
At least $4
@@4qtips sounds about right
so from your perception several planets would have destroid in making of avengers infinity war movie..
Just been filmed in Syria. Then added a grayish filter. :(
@@allen5652 well... yeah. That's what happened I thought?
5 years later, still watching this video over again for the 20th time keeping my fingers crossed for a part 2. Please in this day and age of shows that don't matter give us one that does.
Watch the movie "The Rover".
It doesn't need a "part 2"
It needs the continuation story you write for yourself in your own mind.
This is how things used to work before the media studios convinced you to outsource your imagination to them - exclusively and entirely.
...the lucky bastard...for those eyes to be the only ones to ever share a gaze with...The perspective viewpoint, emotional journey, and complimentary soundtrack make this an intense watch and must see! Good job Gavin!!!
we need the second part. "The first child"
🤣
"the last sex"
I AGREE 😂😁
Hahahaha

You could get a ticket.
Good to know that he still obeys traffic laws
it is so rare to feel such emotions with a '' simple '' short film on the internet. What an absolute gem. this film is incredibly well made. i absolutely love it.
Hey, remember when you said you’d never touch me unless I was the last man on the planet?
... *zip*...
lol no😌
No... she said "if", not "unless".
Very good lol
@@robertlewis1875 Oof
LoL yes 🙊💔🙉 🥺🙈
When the "sole survivor" took off his helmet and mask I kinda felt free as well. And just overall, the acting is amazing.
this must be a british movie, he can clearly see everything is destroyed around him but he still goes to a red phone and listens for a dial tone? keep it up lol
jaco kruger he thought that the war recently happened. He woke up from cryosleep having no way to know that the war happened long ago.
what,s the name of the movie
he's clinging on to anything he has
jaco kruger if ive saw a nokia id try
I bet that if this happens to you... you wouldnt be able to stop watching your smartphone waiting for signal..............
Que pedazo de corto tan espectacular. Sería muy bueno ver un detrás de cámaras, ojalá una segunda parte también. Magnífico. ESTO ES CINE, ¡carajo!
He searched and searched and finally hit the jackpot. He's getting laid.
for as long as he lives... and as he is "The Last Man" that means hard work xD Ofcourse it depends of what exactly he is the last man. Is that city?, county?, state?, country?, continent?, World?, Galaxy? or Universe? LOL
Except it’s a German girl, so that means lots of BDSM and dildos up his bum.
@@akujirule8441 hes the last MAN but not the last HUMAN PERSON
@@KevJBry how do u know its German
@@SignificantPressure100 Multiple iron crosses and the German imperial flag in the posters about the "enemy".
It's 2022... why is RUclips only recommending this for me now?!? Very nicely done, Gavin!
Cheers!
The part where he lost the radios power and where he try’s to call anyone on the radio nearly made me cry that means this is very very well made great job. :]
Absolutely one of the best short film I have seen in ages. I just wish I found this sooner.
Truely a masterpiece,
maybe even for many years to come.
even the moral concept, is beautiful, that life is more important that war.
that even when there is nobody left, two people on enemy sides, should find peace amongst eachother.
maybe that is what mr. director was trying to say.
in honor of their father.
Santiago Sucre maybe even 17yrs 02mth 22day 16hrs 22min
I like that the title is both accurate and misleading. He is indeed the last MAN, just not the last Human.
Ya because the rest of humanity is gay or non binary so he is the last man
or identify as a meat Popsicle lol @@Chew1ee
Well done. One of many standout moments is after he shot the flair. He looks down with no expectations of a reply, but in the reflection of his visor you see another flare...but he's still looking down ! Hurry.. look up...oh crap ...he's gonna miss it ! Then... he looks up and sees it. That was magnificent filmmaking to me. Could not have been done any better. Just one of the exceptional scenes in this well done short. Bravo !
I do not know why, but I got brought almost to tears at the scene of him shaving. It is just so sad, so lonely.
Anybody getting recommendations of apocalyptic/ post apocalyptic short films since the outbreak. It's like RUclips is trying to prepare us for this.
Don't smoke weed during lockdown.. 👍
true
No, it's not like youtube is trying to prepare viewers for this. Get a grip.
I agree with you.
exactly bro
THIS WAS MADE IN 2015?!?!?!?!?
JEESUS CHRIST, AND THIS THING IS BETTER THAN 99.9% OF MOVIES!!!!!
Whos jesus
AH GET OUTTA ERE!!!!!! No
@@mixsuspect9770 Rely, you don't know?
What about that 1%
Dang, 2015? This is very cool!
The poster with the B-2's in the air really hit me. It brings the viewer to the realization that war is not a problem of the past.
I know people who were in a coma for a month and this guy who was frozen for 17 years just starts running.
that flare scene gave me the biggest goose bumps ive had in a while, jesus
HOLY HECK! The editing, the set design, the props, the costuming, the world building, the acting!!! How was this not a major blockbuster film?? How am I just now seeing this??
What's the point of being enemies when there is nothing to fight for..
XC_RaCeR 016 exactly but desperation can have a huge mental and physical effect on your body
Especially if you were told those people were enemies
the orange box well if there is no one to boss you around you are free to do whatever you want...
the orange box
I was really sad when he cried thinking that no one was around. Left alone in isolation. No one to talk to and thinking you are the last man in the world, that really messed me up.
XC_RaCeR 016 maybe he thinks that they are trying to kill him or maybe he thinks she caused this
The music hits you like a train when his radio dies
It was his only form of possible communication
Definitely reminiscent of the old Twilight Zone episode "Two," which similarly had little to no dialogue, and starred only Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.
I was about to say the same thing
Pretty good take on the original idea though.
I remember that episode on metv
If you had be stuck w Elizabeth Montgomery, would it be so bad.
I like the twilight zone version better ...
HA! My thoughts exactly! A great episode!
Bro, it's just a prank! The camera was right there bro!
*Vector loading noises*
This film is a masterpiece, don't know how to explain it better.
Zero to no dialogue and it still kept me on my toes. Loved it
I realize I have seen this one before. It's an outstanding short, the locations and settings are stunning. Kudos for the music score, too. Kudos for all of it, actually.
Hey that's awesome you filmed in my hometown! I mean, look at all that rain!
I am very impressed with the CGI. It seems very realistic. Excellent work Mr. Rothery!
If he's the last man,then who's filming him?
😂
Hahaha thats a good one 😂
*Harvard want to know your location*
Thank you sir, you win the internet today sadsfasd
Drones.....? 😂
Suddenly get recommended for such a great work really worth my time, mysterious opening, despair in the middle, yet a glimmer of hope and humane at the end. Truly amazing work from music, costume and story. Amazing set
Fallout 5......looks.......amazing.
More like Metro 2035))))
But they made the same mistake like in Fallout 76 .. no npc's
Lupun Stop trying the obvious!
tOmka, i want this game)
it's a dlc for fallout 76 you dummy
A Chaos Insurgency soldier meeting a former SCP personel in a post apocalyptic world consumed by an unknown SCP.
@Live Fast yes
which one is the chaos?
I thought that was a Iron cross for a sec
No.
It was nuclear war. If you listen closely to the radio signal a person says "The enemy has overwhelmed our defenses with biological and nuclear weapons"
This was terrific! The blasted-out cityscape is one of the best I've ever seen for a post-apocalyptic drama. Love how there is almost no dialogue. The story is conveyed through the actor's reactions to his environment. Also loved how the tech is reminiscent of the chunky-bulky tech of 70s and 80s sci-fi films. Great job!
This was better than any movie I have seen recently, and I mean full length, mega budget movies.
This was so good that it felt like I was watching an actual movie. I really want a part 2 to this. This is some amazing stuff.
Mans really be shaving during the apocalypse
If you want your mask to fit properly than yea you would.
@Kristian Jerkovic what was the name of the movie?
Gas masks dont work with facial hair...
A gas mask wont seal with a beard
Mans really be shaving his bald ass egg head during the apocalypse
It's truly amazing how great a movie can be without any dialog what so ever. The expressions tell more about the character and events then any talking would ever do. And the music is perfect for the scenes. Really great film. Do more like this.
Love the suspense, thrill, atmosphere and cinematic effects of this short movie. Well done!

Broooooo, this has extreme Alien, Blade Runner, Matrix vibes all in one. True talent my friend. Pure artistic vision!!!
Finish the mission, you're all that remains.
So suicide? Idk which mission sorry
Better Dead than RED. lol
Ah call of duty....nice one.
Fantastic production value. The city, the wardrobe, props, most of the effects, the acting, all incredible. Like... some of the best I've seen. I love the ending and all of the implications. It's sorta lucky the enemy was a woman, but it's also like... "what would they even fight for?" Which is why I assumed he lowered his gun. There were moments where the story sorta dragged, but it wasn't awful. I made it through to the end, which is more than I can say about my own projects. Brava. Subscribed.
Thank you!

Breathing gear and armor is more NATO than U.S.
Cars are right-hand drive.
One poster on the wall is reminiscent of the U.K. Union Jack flag.
Male has general facial features of U.K., plus photo with sig other and dog suggest U.K.
Enemy uses iron cross insignia; many enemies could be under that banner. First thought is Germany.
Poster on wall shows enemy with Eastern Block-style weapon.
Enemy helmet looks like his helmet and has English script on it; not Russian.
Enemy is using weapon very much like Dragunov or clone thereof.
Film shot somewhere in U.K., in my opinion.
Same idea for film as an episode of "The Twilight Zone" September 15, 1961, aka "Two"
with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.
Very well done small budget film.
