Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

"Lovefield" is a 5.5-minute short film from 2008, so it will soon have its 10th anniversary. The writer and director is Mathieu Ratthe and this is a Canadian English-language production. Early on, we see a woman bleeding in a hay field and man who seems to be some kind of hillbilly standing next to her. He looks big, grisly and violent. What did he just do to the poor girl? Next scene we see him running to a car. Apparently he is looking for something to carry the woman away. But are things really what they seem? Watch for yourself, guys! I thought this was a great little movie, criminally underseen. It is dramatic, touching, funny and sweet and it's really rare that a film can combine all these attributes in itself, especially a short film. But this one here does. i also liked the very last scene when he uses his arms to catch the police officer's attention after early on we thought that would be the last thing he did actually. And lets be honest, the guy's laughing is so contagious at the end. You can just join in smiling. The film also tells a good lesson that we should not judge people from their looks and first of all get an accurate picture of the situation. I highly recommend this film. You don't want to miss out on this little gem. I watched it years ago for the first time and loved it and even if I knew what would happen this time, it was still as good as the first time.

I received an e-mail from my cousin with a link to "Lovefield" and comparing this short to Alfred Hitchcock's style. After watching it, I found a tense and suspenseful short with a surprising plot point. In Hedren Hill County, in a windy cornfield in the proximity of Bishopville, a crow caws over a signalling plate. In the cornfield, a cellphone, money and a purse are dispersed on the land and a woman with blood on the foot is crying in pain. Out of the blue, the woman stops crying and a man with blood on the hands stabs a knife on the field. He runs to a car left on the road with the driver door opened and nervous, he opens the truck and brings a blanket back to the cornfield towards the woman that lies on the field with spreaded legs. The mystery is solved in the next scene.The debut of the unknown director, writer, producer and editor Mathieu Ratthe is very impressive, with a concise screenplay, magnificent camera-work exploring unusual angles, wonderful cinematography and a great soundtrack. The twist from death to life is awesome and it is worth to the reader to watch this five and something minutes short in the Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=4meeZifCVro). My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): Available in Youtube
