I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

So... Yeah... This is a really hard film to watch all the way through. I paused it once, then played it again and thought it had skipped back to the woman with the roses. But no, it turns out the film repeats that part, amongst others, quite a few times. Is the guy just going crazy or what? I admit, I didn't really pay much attention to the film, because I hate films that keep looping, but it also just wasn't very engrossing. And that guy...who says, "I am god!" That was just too freaky. I can't believe the guy even approached him, I mean, I would run screaming from a guy like that. Wow. Still though, it seems like an interesting film, and I'm sure if you can actually pay attention to it, then you'll find some meanings in there. I couldn't really watch it myself though...

A simple commentary on the life of a typical person in today's world, those who are running through life and not getting anywhere. Most people simply exist in this world, they do not live their lives to the fullest. His life is directed by something as simple and ridiculous as cartoon characters, symbolic of how simple and ridiculous the things that direct most peoples lives today. The homeless man is symbolic of where that gets you in life, which is old, broken down. The new pair of shoes symbolic of material possessions but what does it really mean when your life is over? The rose seller is of course representative of stopping to enjoy the life you are living.

Hmm...I didn't have a clue what this film was about but the style was amazing. Normally that alone wouldn't be enough for me to rate a movie highly but for some reason I feel compelled to recommend this short on its style alone. It really is quite unique. I particularly loved the sound design - listen to how Underwood's movements are synchronised with the sounds of traffic in some shots. Also, the colour was great - all blues and greens and muted shades. Simple shots seem to have been somewhat re-juvinated and made ten times more interesting, for example when he looks at his watch; or when he picks up the payphone in the station and we get that Homicide-style jump cut/dialogue repetition.Can't say I get the story in any way whatsoever, even after reading the plot summary, but I'd recommend it just for how it looks and sounds.

I came across this movie this morning while checking my email. I took today off from work to go to a family member's funeral. And had in my mind all of the things that I had to do before and after the funeral. How ironic that I came across this movie on this particular day. This movie was my "Stop to smell the roses", while I still can.Blair Underwood is one of my favorite actors. And as always he did a phenomenal job of playing this character. I watched the movie several times and each time I gained a greater understanding for his frustration in trying to reach his goals. Then I finally saw myself in this character.I know someone is trying to tell me something. And from this day forward I AM listening. Thank you to everyone involved in making this movie (actors, directors, writers, etc.) I GET IT!!
