This was posted in LM awhile ago, and I thought NSG should see it. Post only your most favorite/inspiration/exceptional short films.

The nice thing about the video he posted is that it has a happy ending! Short films never have happy endings!!

I don't think it encourages it, or tells you not to.  It shows how drugs can change your perception and bring you back to your 'childish' mind through joy, experiences, etc. but in the end you cannot replace your mind as a child permanently.  Drugs aren't even that relevant in the film, they are just used as a means to bring across the point that no matter what you try (drugs, or anything else in life for that matter), you cannot achieve the same childish mind you once had and desire to still have.  The goggles they wear aren't necessariliy based on drugs, but rather used as a shield to screen reality.  Reality is depressing.

Didn't mean to stop at that... Anyway, "More" focuses on how depressing life is.  You work a shitty job, and your only escape is to try to block or filter everything.  Another element to the film is the idea of 'more'.  More mass consumerism of products with the name 'happiness' etc. that people will buy because they believe they can solve their problems through purchasing a product.  This product could be anything, and people will buy it to cover up their problems, or make their life seem better.  In reality, this mass consumerism is only a cloak upon cloak of mental protection and security from the real world.  The film im sure has a lot more ideas laced in it, but those are two that I was able to see right away.

Validation was surprisingly really good. i saw it awhile ago and was impressed.

plus, the guy in it(TJ Thyne) is in Bones, which is one of the best shows on TV right now.

there is a Czech short film called "Most" that's great. http://www.mostthemovie.com/
it's religiously based, but if you don't look at it in taht aspect and look at it in a morality aspect it's so powerful

The filming in dargeling limited (sp) blows my mind. If you get the dvd anytime watch how they filmed parts in the train its pretty cool.
