This was very well-done. Now, what is it about an apocalypse which makes people unable to wash themselves and their clothes in a stream or lake, and unable to sweep their houses?
hahaha you're right, maybe its just a genre aesthetic that looks cool and helps sell the concept visually, otherwise it feels fake. But in reality, you're right we'd wash up and sweep up no kidding!
“think for yourself, now that gets you into trouble don’t it” 😂
Very good statement
Wow! I needed this short. Thanks!
Thoughtful take on the subject!
I Just Need "A HIGHER REZ." (ReSolution)
mmmmm THX1138.
you should watch the other episode "quarantine" lol far more influenced by thx
THX had boobs
All hail the dark power. ;}
what happened to Thoughts of a Dead Atheist? one of my favorite short films on youtube. Came back for another watch and its gone, what a shame.
i didn't think anyone watches it anymore lol have new stuff now, but sure it's back up:) thanks for watching.
Very nice looking, VERY interesting world too. I'm nearly 20 mins in though, and I'm not tracking on where this is going, who the main character is, what the goal is, what's at stake to drive the story etc. When it jumps to the outdoor stuff with the guy with glasses, it feels like another film has begun. It's all interesting, it just needs a tighter, clearer setup. It's filled with long context dumps that isn't as engaging as experiencing essential context to get me invested in someone and their goal to drive the story. That's why conflict is so effective, it organically delivers that sort of context in a compelling way. Here, there is a lot of divulging context and there is so much of it one long stream, it's hard to take on, and honestly, care about, because there is no main character with stakes that matter, that we can get behind and care about. Don't get me wrong, this has a lot of potential, lots of very interesting, world building detail. I just needed said essential context to get invested in someone.
Thanks for watching. The conflict is the guy in the straitjacket believes in freedom of speech and he speaks out against the AI totalitarian government that controls everything and has imprisoned him for speaking out. Whereas the guy in the suit believes in censorship and abiding by the AI government partly because he benefits so much from it, ie comfy lifestyle. Although when he questions the system and considers what the madman is saying,. he ends up just like him imprisoned. And the "other movie" is really just a memory of the madman, right before he was apprehended he convinced some girl to hack the system - and the reason the memory occurs there is because in real time the AI is trying o extract that memory to get intel, so that it could capture the rebel girl and stop her from crashing the system. But its not really about some possible future, I'm just using the scifi genre to exaggerate what's going on now in some places and where that could lead us. More like a thought experiment. I'm sure I could have made that clearer and more obvious but at the time I made this (COVID 2020) I was in an experimental mood. I wanted to show these ideas with visuals and abstractions, hoping people got a feel of the story rather than having to completely understand it - because sometimes when you have to figure out what's going on, having to think about it, lasts longer in your memory. But thanks for your thoughtful feedback, you're probably right, next time I'll be clearer and less weird;)
It’s cool, but where are all the leftists? lol. The differentiation of the people from the cops to patients to the bums is really cool. ;}
Good film. Humans are notoriously dumb, when generalizing for itsself, and those single minded people that cannot let any other view in, or see both sides of a coin, or weigh good and bad, will be our downfall. If progress is more importamt than humanity, science over human emotion, we are doomed We are unique and alike at the same time. You cant pick one or the other. You cant generalize for humanity. But you cant make it all about the idividual either. I like the idea of everything having five to fifteen options, like fast food. From books to welfare to politics. Everyone should have options. That is how you meet the greatest human existance😊
It is a good movie.really good acting and atmospere
Wowsers!
I didnt get it at all.
Another no ending ending from Black Box.
Good afternoon watching. 🥰🇬🇧👍
Wow, exceptional movie!!! Great writing amd scenes, one after another - such exceptional work by actors, director. I'm sure the whole crew were 'on top of it'! Thank you!
I didn't have a crew, but I did have a great cast! Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed:)
This is how we were with commodore computers an dial up lol
needs more withdrawal.
That Would Require "A HIGHER REZ."(ReSolution)
The main problem is that no one has a Bible.
Gosh, only 15 comments? I can see why....like, WTH??
ha - well it's a strange story with strange characters, I'm surprised anyone engaged:)
What a waste of time. The whole time you’re waiting for one of them to go outside. Then the movie ends when he does.
This kind of reminds me of the film (both film 1957 and TV 1968 versions), "A Hatful Of Rain." I never saw the play, but the film version was supposedly a very realistic portrayal of morphine addiction and its impact on user and family (same family make up as here, if I recall correctly). Was that an inspiration?
Sure. As long as the Back-up Power never fails. Else; Who would know anyway. Cool. Thank You & Best Regards.
I thought it was awesome! Great job to you and your crew
Thanks so much, but I didn't have a crew lol
I liked the film but it never delves into the food issue. These are people who don't know about airplanes, which means there wouldn't be any edible food like we see in the "Walking Dead" shows. This is one or two or more generations after society collapsed. This is a major weak point in the show.
I’m almost halfway through, and I haven’t seen anything about technology gone awry. How is this “Terminator-inspired”? No one seems to be chasing/hunting them, and there is no nuclear fallout, so this could be taking place in modern day redneck country for all we know. Ignorance is bliss, if you ain’t a bookworm. 🤓
Spcial - really enjoy !
BZZZT
Where's Neo
Alike myself people are going to justify wat they downing to others!
That was awesome. Depressing, but awesome!
Excellent movie personally I have always been against all the modern technology. You never here about a good apple turning the basket of bad apples into good ones. 😊❤ peace out
Excellent movie love Just need more promotion Congratulations keep up the great work ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love the acting !!
❤❤❤Thank you Ivonne for your kind words !!! ❤❤❤
Well done Dax! And believable performance of you both. Also terrific camera work, coluring and lighting, directing and editing. And like the opening titleing🖤
Thanks Brother
This movie is magical alchemical artistry I think this may be my favorite post-apocalyptic film
The man called himself a thinker, he readily accepts the other as the devil. Yet he is too small-minded to think there's a God.
Excellent
Most excellent
Thank you! I wanted to make this for over a decade, lots of work, glad you enjoyed:)
At first I was going to mock the movie for the misspelling in the title, now I get it, heh heh, I'm glad I waited.😊 Good story, well done.
haha well, thanks for giving it a chance:)
Well Done
A lot of good stuff here, production, story and acting better than most. ONE problem with nearly all productions though is SOUND. No matter what YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTORS even if whispering in a hurricane. This might 'violate' video makers purity, and will require REPEATED edits, without head phones with a standard TV at least 15 feet away for 'speaker'. Whenever you are doing unrealistically loud speech, think instead that it's an 'acoustic tunnel vision' the characters are experiencing due to signifcance of scene, dialog etc..Then messing around with volumes becomes noble artistic vision.
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
That's it, as soon as I'm done with this comment this brain box is introduced to my sledge hammer! Somehow I watched #2 first, and liked it, but didn't realize there is a series! The filming, acting, scenes, music etc. are all good, but I'll have to watch all episodes before I come to a conclusion on what I think about the story. At this point I don't understand the practicality and resource effectiveness of this particular totalitarian approach. The 11 billion people don't know what is going on, and apparently are not making a choice to participate, so there is no need to get their buy in. When their bodies die, i.e. are murdered by an engineered virus, why bother uploading anything? Thank you for the entertainment and thought provoking content!
Thanks! It is part of a series, have a look at the playlist "black box (full films)" but it's an anthology so each film/episode is a self contained story, not at all connected except by theme/style. As for this "obliteration" story, if you believe the AI, it said it gave a choice to the 11 billion people: either be deleted from existence or live in a simulation. People didn’t have the choice to live in the real world because, according to the AI, the pandemic and climate change caused mass extinction. The AI wanted to upload us to a heavenly afterlife so that we can go on with our lives, because it claims to be a compassionate AI. I know the protagonist accused the AI of bio engineered a virus, murdering 11 billion people - but it's because at first he didn't have all the information about this "secret government program" and later, he wasn't sure if he should believe the AI. Of course, it's impossible to know if the AI is telling the truth or if it had ulterior motives, that’s what’s interesting about it. You’re welcome, happy to entertain!
They stop US making money to become one of them then treat us like shit polluting the planet so quarantine us so only they can breathe fresh air and have the freedom of walking in nature. Something like they're trying to unsuccessfully instigate now. Frightfully _avante garde_ Thx for uploading.
Music good but loud and kept blocking out their lines, so couldn't hear what they said sometimes.
Thanks for the feedback, will mix it better next time, but if it helps I had CC done and verified every line. And if it's any consolation a lot of the lines that X says are nonsensical and that's sort of the point lol
@@tomsokalski Yes thx. It didn't stop me watching through to the end : ) Really appreciate these uploads; we have limited movies to watch in North Cyprus. YT already recommending me films l watched before. I do watch the good ones 2 or 3 times though. Thx again.
It’s the AI selectively allowing you to pay attention.
This is a great film, and a warning. A few quibbles. 1)Any mattress abandoned in a derelict building with be chewed up, covered by mouse dropping and unusable, after only a few years! 2)If Gio was bright enough to make a splint, he could have fashioned a crutch, and greatly increased their mobility. 3) More candles than either Zeffirelli's <1968> or Luhrmann's <1996> Romeo and Juliet films combined. 4) The access/key for the gun lock-box has a major blooper. Andrea locks up the gun and takes the key, next scene shows Andy with the gun from the locked box that he didn’t have the key for, ( how many keys are there?) then later, he unlocks the box and finds the gun missing… too many keys! Otherwise- Great B&W&Blue filming choice. Very realistic dialogue scripting for Andrea and Gio. Great winter sets, decent acting, and the theme of book-burning and anti-intellectualism (the title) is so chilling, given the political climate in the US as of April 2023. The last 8 minutes of the film is bleak. A very well done and watchable film all-together!!
Thanks for your kind words and feedback, interesting thoughts. The mattresses were indeed gross (for real) but were covered with relatively clean blankets that andrea/gio carried around in their backpacks. Re: candles, yes you're right it's over the top lol but sorta necessary to film a scene using only candlelight, and obviously to evoke the romantic vibe. re: crutch maybe he wanted to be her crutch to get close to her gain her trust. re:keys, most safes come with two keys, for safety, as did this one. but i tried to mislead to make it seem like there was only one key, when there was in fact two that Andrea and Gio carried at all times - Alex assumed that gio killed andrea, stole her key and stole the gun. But he was wrong about that.
too dark, slow
Thanks
Read Space Merchants by Pohl and Kornbluth... 1952. we old timers have seen it all before
Thanks! I don't know how I never heard of this, I just read the wiki it sounds better than most of the scifi writing in that era, way ahead of its time for '52. And I work in marketing/Advertising so it hits close to him. I just bought it off amazon. Thanks for the reco!
LOL - indeed. So many of these are based on short stories or space opera from long ago....
