In brief, the story is about a young lady who is running to catch the bus to take an exam. She messes her bus and she meets an old man and have a deep and meaningful conversation with him.Main Characters:
There are only 2 characters in the film. The old man and the young lady. I would rate their acting as great (without putting numbers on it). They have performed their roles so well.Film Story
In terms of story, this film has provided a nice story and a nice message to deliver. I guess for a short movie that is remarkable.
I don't get it. 😆 Who was that old man? A magician who repair watches? maybe they should make it longer and explain things.
hahahhaaha.. I guess you are right. The build up was too quick to reach to the old man. But, she reached to where to conversation started. LOL..
Personally, I was focused so much on the conversation between them, that I wasn't thinking about how he appeared and disappeared without her noticing it.
And how the watch was fixed.
My guts tells me, it has to do with the old man. He must have something to do with it. LOL..
A lot of mystery in a straight forward 8 minutes movie.
One more thing: she missed the bus which made her miss the exam. But when she got the next bus, it was just 8.30, so she will have a chance to make it to the exam.
So was the darn old man? I want to have his power and fix so much things.
It could be his power that they did not talk about. Or, it could be that they were so limited in time, so, the initial thought was that she was late. Then, when they were close to the end, and there was no enough time to explain the details. She checks her watch and she's not late. I get it, it raises so many questions on what happened their exactly. But, the movie overall was nice. At least, you have to give it that XD.
Interesting. I bet it will (if not already) have sequel(s).
Short films rarely have.
You noticed ronnie10 doesn't believe in hocus pocus. 🤓
or you watch a few times to see what happens.
Well, there's more to this film. Who was the old man? How did he appear out of the blue and disappear and how come he fixed the watch after all those years?
If it comes to shortfilms this is exactly how they are made. Short films just like short stories have to focus on one "issue" only so no side jumps getting into details, explaining. This is all for the imagination of the one who watches.
We can state that the old man is the grandfather of this girl?
It would be good if you try to add a bit of story where your personal view can be read.
If it comes to the film: a good choice
There are a lot of unanswered questions in the film. I think you have mentioned all of them.
The old man is a mystery. I guess, they didn't have the time to give any small detail about him. He was just there having a conversation. LOL
Thanks, I enjoyed it too.
No it's granddad he recognized the watch and felt proud she kept it. He also said he had to leave/be somewhere else...
So he hopped by to see the grandchild because he did something good or he could be the garden angel for a few minutes but what I do find strange is he said she can do the exam again since that chance wouldn't be given to us. Now I think about it I should look at the film again, why exactly was she late???
Ummm.. Such an interesting way of viewing it. I normally, do not see different views when it comes to watching a movie. That is usually happening when reading a piece of text or a book. That everyone would have their own way of understanding the writer's words.
Nice!
That's the great thing of discussing a film since we see different things and @aneukpineung78 gave the answer how she could do the exam afterall. Sounds her day turns out very well.
Fixed watch, time traveling and grandpa neing the garden angel. 🤣
Is it your ooinion they had a deep and meaningful conversation? Deep and meaningful is different. It feels more like time killing.
Well, I think that is at least what they are trying to do over there. Bringing an old man in. In so many cases, they do that to show that someone who has experience in life is going to talk.
