    This is the best short film I have ever seen. 8 mins through 8 decades of life, through 8 different emotions. Absolutely brilliant! I've watched this so many times and it's still so perfect and real.

    I been to 130 countries and lost the woman I loved, and I was sitting in a jail cell a few weeks ago, I watched this for the first time now, and I feel like I also saw my own life in this video in my own way, really made me think. Amazing video and very touching, also very true about the parties and girls when your young and then you get more loneliness.

    Im from Chile, btw. Your short film was seen by many other latinos that were watching the same channel, at the same time.
    I feel much better about our context after watching this.

    So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.
    For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

    @dadrumma8608 3 года назад

    By all technical measures this is a good film. Nice cinematography and whatnot. What irks me about it is the melodramatic narration saying "This is a thing. That is a thing. This is a thing that happened to that thing." Like goddamn, I didn't know what all that was before, thanks for clarifying. Not to mention most of the characters are set up like bowling pins at a granite quarry. The writer isn't so much attempting to move us as he is gripping our heartstrings and strumming them like a banjo.
    I originally saw this as a music video to a certain Radiohead song, and without the please-take-me-seriously narration and blockbuster movie trailer music, it hits much more effectively without trying half as hard.
    Or maybe I'm just overly analytical of things that annoy me, yeah that's it.
