- A young man tries to control his powers.
FIRE is used with permission from Chris Andrews. Learn more at christopher-an....
Jack is an awkward, volatile teen who struggles not just to control his temper, but his unusual powers: his hands leak out fire when he struggles to control his rage and anger.
But then he randomly encounters a ranger in a forest, and tags along to watch him work. Faced with an unfamiliar environment and asked to contribute to an unusual task, Jack finds a way to be strong without anger -- and the key to working with his powers.
Writer-director Chris Andrews's short drama has the look and feel of a naturalistic story, full of gritty social realism and a strong sense of observation. It's photographed with the muted color palette typical of many naturalistic films, and the direction and editing have a careful attention to small details of performance and visuals, whether it's the shift in a facial expression, a pause in conversation or the reveal of a tree within a forest.
But the "superhero" elements add an element of engagement and unexpected depth to this coming-of-age story. Obviously metaphorical, it's still handled with subtlety, thanks to the understated performances and excellent craftsmanship of the filmmaking itself.
There are no "big" moments or swelling orchestral scores to underline huge emotion or revelation. Instead, the film carefully lays out its emotional arc on the tiny but meticulous shifts in performance and visuals, reflecting the shift in Jack's confidence and competence. When Jack once again has to face confrontation, he has learned how to harness himself -- and discovers that his self-awareness actually makes him even more powerful than ever.
FIRE can technically be filed under the "fantasy" category. But while the special effects are minimal and quietly done, the supernatural elements of the story still accomplish what all great fantasy does: it takes those magical powers and realms to comment on the deepest, most mysterious inner aspects of human existence, and brings an element of the archetypal to a work of great psychological insight.
Anger and rage at the injustices inflicted upon us are never easy to grapple with, and like Jack, we are all too often tempted to use those impulses towards violence. But those dark emotions have a role, as well as valuable information about our internal landscapes -- and by learning to deal with those feelings with a sense of self-mastery and insight, we can harness that righteousness towards productive ends, instead of against others or ourselves.
He saw his little brother as the little tree without light he wouldn't grow ,within his strength he could control that
ahhhh ok, thanks for that... was quite lost.
v nice thank u
you are a poet
Who other than Vanessa Dickens
Would you say the fire was a metaphor for his anger or free will? or?
Guy: trips on fallen tree
Also guy: starts kicking the bushes that helped cushion his fall
I would say that anger isn't wholly rational, I've kicked a few bushes in anger and not for any good reason mind you.
Biting the hand that fed you..
I think that “bush” is a stinger nettle plant.
lol bushes=little fallen tree=dad
Those are stinging nettles, not bushes.
I just loved when the stranger gave him another chance to hit the wedge. I bet the kid was always used to getting criticized harshly the first time he does something wrong and know he feels comforted to have encourgement.
This story didn't need him to have a power.
@@Whistler-007especially since we don’t know what he’s going to use it for now
He's off to seek his true calling as a cigarette lighter.
Paul R bruh 😂😂💀
Daayumnnn
Thanks man 👏🤣
Paul R 🤣🤣😂
You see this is why I love the comment section, because of comments like this one 😂
Ewan Mitchell plays a guy in this film who has fire powers. Years later, he plays a guy who has a dragon with fire powers.
Knock the big tree down, the little ones grows. What a great metaphor for this kind of situation. The kid did right by not following in his fathers footsteps and learning from a complete stranger instead.
What a dangling participle.
Solid life lesson right there.
Cool bro, you got it👊👊👊
The kid needs Prof.Charles Xavier.
Rare to see Ewan’s Mitchell’s characters alive till the end lol.
That father figure and discipline was what he needed and it happened to come from a stranger ❤️
Its always like that ppl outside give you something you needed.
Virgo right . God sends them your way 🦋
The stranger trusted and respected him without even knowing who he was. This gave him the courage to stand up against his dad to save his little brother.
@@zaejohnson3414
Aight no. Get that religious crap out of here.
@@cicadaboi101 It ain't religious but it's the truth
"...struggles to control his unusual powers" takes control of his own life.
Literally, every person has done that.
*Epic Gamer moment*
Omeleto has the power to make you depressed and happy at the same time
I’ve been loving this channel, such cool stuff😁👍
@@evanabbott2737 yeah ikr
*happressed
Just prince Aemond Targaryen discovering his Dragon powers
Good, he saved his brother and they are off to a life without abuse.
I mean... did you notice him nearly breaking his brother's arm? I wouldn't be so sure of that.
@@fork1695 siblings often fight like that . Doesn't necessarily mean they don't care about each other.
@@darkseid856 They especially fight if the parents are abusive and/or don't properly socialize the children.
I didn't know Ewan Mitchell is in the short film who knew he be this cool
Aemond was proficient with fire from a young age
Really good short overall
The superpowers were pretty much irrelevant though
It's meant as a metaphor for his anger, thanks to the lumberman he was able to harness and use his anger(fire) for good, this is seen at the end when his father finally gives up the keys to him.
@@TheIronSnowMan8D
Yeah, that was the intention, but without the fire the video would have worked just as well
The motivation for his actions had nothing to do with the powers, and the power didn't actually do anything but look cool or frightening
But still, really well made, very good short :) it didn't stop it from being really enjoyalbe, well acted, well directed and well written
@@TheIronSnowMan8D It [the fire] is a metaphor, but not for his anger.
@@RubiRenegade The story presented would not have worked one iota as well as this version did if the fire symbolism/powers had not been included. You don't understand the symbolism of his "powers" and so in trying to make sense of them you think they were put in the story to "look cool". Why do you assume that the artists who put this short together are shallow and simple people who included something because it would "look cool"? Why do you not, instead, assume and trust that there is a moral and artistic reason for the powers and that you do not, as yet, understand the symbolism?
It's far more flattering for you to believe that you have properly understood what you watched than to realize you have not totally understood, nor clearly seen the meaning in the film. Consuming art is not like consuming a can of baked beans. You don't always understand art or any abstraction right away; some things need time. You commented immediately after watching the film though, didn't you?
@@ClearOutSamskaras
Hey, be chill, Im reminding you that I still really enjoyed the short
This is how I saw it and interperted it. I would be happy to hear your interpetation, if you want (and if I think its good I'll might change my mind)
So- what is your interpetation of the fire? Tell me where do you think I was mistaken
Finally, a movie where a teen follows a stranger holding a chainsaw into the woods where he comes out alive.
😂 😅
Don’t worry guys, the tree was not sacrificed it was just a paid actor.
Alm7taal C0x most of us already know
Thank goodness, had me worried for a bit
So was the cigarette
Oh yeah yeah
Wait so a poor actor got punched
Of course Aemond would have fire powers
I came for Ewan but really liked the ranger. Wish everyone could have a father figure like that in their lives.
when we think the 'Power' is his ability to create fire out of fist, turns out it's a power to make the right choice for a better life, in which we all can too. really good short film with a good life lesson in it. great work.
"Where are we going?"
"To Baldur's Gate"
LOL
I beat that game 3 times, game cube. Love it!
No one:
Older brother: FoK oFf
Who came for Aemond Targaryen +1
I didn't even realize
This story is heartbreaking. But children do grow up to the point where you cant push them around anymore. The understanding friend taught him to stand on his two feet, earn a living and take care of himself. The superpower in a young man is when he learn to take control of his own life. Love the story.
when you make a new minecraft world

Redditus Reddie lmfao
Hhahahahahahahhaahhahaahahah I get it 😂😂
Lol
I see, the older son is the sun (hence his fire power) which is being blocked or hindered by the a-hole dad, represented by the big tree blocking the sapling, his little bro. The lumberjack symbolizes the role he'll have to take to free himself and his little bro.
nice- anyone else feel smarter when you turn on omeleto?
hawaiiflowerchild no but a certain peace
@@raidenshat5206 perfect answer
Yikes.
Mostly hungry. And I haven't got any eggs in the house.
Me
This guy looks like a younger Bo Burnham.
Spot on man
I was looking for this exact comment cause I was thinking about it.
but its actually just Ewan Mitchell
Being taught by a knock off Willem Dafoe
Lol burnhim
This should be developed into a full length feature. Great Primer for this story.
Ewan is a really good actor 🔥 I am expecting alot from him as Aemond and further projects
Ewan Mitchell ❤️
His first appearance on screen still amazes me to see how far he’s come
I suppose the super power (fire 🔥) is his anger Wich he controlled pretty well.
First off, what? Second, how did you mispell "Which"
@@RedMenace0 sorry I didn't think I was writing an essay
@@firstgoldnamelastgoldname6802 its cool dude i know exactly what you were trying to say. Who needs every word spelled correctly to understand contxt ya know what im sayin
@@thechow7187 I totlly agree I understd exctly wht he ment
@@huggers105 by far the best answer haha :D
he sees that he can use his powers the right way, after he saw that light above. light represents hope, that dark forest represents his situation right now, that tree fallen i think represents his father that keeps him away from seeing that light above(in which he found out the right way). Hope we all learned the lesson here :)
This would be an amazing starting plot for great movie about this kid and his brother.
Maybe, but so far there's no story. A teen with a fire-based super power and his little brother, on the lam from their abusive father, to do... in search of... about to become involved in... See? All this short film did was build up a main character's backstory with a couple of very tenuously connected supporting characters, but there is no actual story. The ENTIRE plot for a movie would need to be created for this character.
This is a story. It had a beginning, middle and end, with try-fail cycles and character growth, ultimately overcoming its initial problem. So it is a complete story.
But I agree with you, it does open up intriguing potential for exploration at the end for a more milieu-based story, and in that regard feels like a tease for a bigger story.
He went down to the Amazon & started burning down trees...he didn't really get the message right.
Lol
Now he's in Australia
Hahaha
California now
@@peepthis6458 lol 😂 dark but lol 😂
I like this one very much, so simple but so perfect, such a gem this one is, would be great to show this in schools for teenagers struggling like this.
Jacky moon the 3rd (this just in hundreds teens across the country are leaving their parents and running away from the law)
What are the teenagers gonna get from this besides the fact that they need to get away from toxic relationships and people in order for them and the people around them to grow
pfffft
* spits out milk *
(I am being sarcastic)
Logan Paul: cuts tree
Also Logan:I'm gonna car jack dad
Aah yes! The last kingdom dude
Claramente vemos que Ewan es un actor muy bueno. Que siga así, lo apoyamos.
Wow I can’t believe this is Aemond
I saw this dude on Netflix on a show called The Last Kingdom
Vine aquí a ver este "short film" de Ewan Mitchell, recién lo descubrí a el como actor gracias a HotD, no lo conocía antes y me ha impresionado la verdad. Aquí en este film me encanta verlo porque son sus comienzos, está tan joven y logra desarrollar bien su personaje, las expresiones de su rostro, lo que transmite en cada gesto, son destacables, el tono de voz, todo. Con el tiempo él se está superando cada vez más como actor.☺😌
Buen corto, con un mensaje de esperanza. 🙂👍
Oh, boy do I wish I had some kind of ability like that when I was a kid. My pop sure could have used similar "clarity" regarding who he could and could not bully! Alas, I cried into my pillow and listened to mom take it while my sister sobbed. TMI? Sorry. This really "resonated" with me. Well made and well performed. Thanks everybody!
tietjen666 I feel bad for you . But is it real??? Or are you just making it up?
@@kingcaliph5135 Do not feel bad! Yes, it was real. And it was worse for him when he was a boy. Needing to protect those you love from those you love but, not being able to do so is a singular frustration. The DV in my life ended when dad left. I guess I am my mother's son. Luckily.
tietjen666 DV really sucks. I come from a messed up family as well. Not anything as bad as DV just other problems.
@@kingcaliph5135 Does anyone really grow up unscathed?
tietjen666 true. Its pretty much how you deal with it. You got to be better than it.
He almost killed that stranger though.....
Ya, that did almost happen, XD
Plot twist: a passing car flips him off, he gets so angry, he sets the car on fire a mile from home...both doing the Bruce Banner walk with background music...
Ewan's smile at the end 😍🥰
Mom: you hungry want me to make you an omelette?
Me: no I want an omeleto
he eventually cloned his own skin and became a billionaire with the 1st fireproof skin ever.
What’s aemond Targaryen doing here
Am I the only one who thought, Jack (the main character) looked a bit like Bo Burnham?😅
I thought it was bo Burnham at first
Mixed with Nathan Fillion
lol
Yeaaaahhh I saw it too!!
He he burn
Like the smile he does at the end really emotional
Uthred called.
He wants his monk back
When your actor and crew has no idea how to use the ear protection on a safety helmet, because none of them have ever used one before.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that the woodsman had all that top notch safety gear on his head, but didn't use it.
@@daviderwin4705 Real men don't eat honey, they chew bees!
He is a child of the Sun. A fire starter🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Very nice film
Baby monk Osferth now has learned pyromancy. Uhtred can finally take Bebbanburg with his aid.
"He just likes burning things!"
"He'd love hell"
He discovered how to harness his power for good....
the fire is just a metaphor for his anger... nice.
The foreshadowing with this one is wild!
I just watched this short film and I can't describe everything I felt in just 15 minutes, almost all the contained frustration of my life was summed up in two fists of fire.
The guy with the truck trusted him and he wasn't used to that growing up with the lifestyle he had. That trust changed him.
5:36
I cant believe you done this
Haha😂
Anger does make you hate everyone and everything.
Fire? you mean Dracarys?
came here to see aemond omg
Чисто зашла посмотреть на Юэна))
Аналогично 🌚 Он тут такой ребенок)
Speechless. Very good. Finally wasn't about his powers in a film. Rather a metaphor. Beautiful.
He looks so much like bo burnham
You are not a loser! :) You are loved, dear one! By the Lord of the Universe. Through Jesus we will see the face of God one day.
Nah they're a loser
@@noneofyourbusiness302 Adolf the painter lost
@@noneofyourbusiness302 I am a loser. If that's what it takes to not have God-crazies to reel me in.
Man! This new ghost rider back story was weird!
Kid: "Where are we going?"
Human Torch: "Child Protective Services"
The metaphorical usage of "keys" is brilliant! And what brilliant performances!!!
"GHOST RIDER ORIGIN"
I just loved this and the ending kinda just brought me to tears, in a good way. Thanks for the great content
Make this into a whole movie please I need more
Tree lives for 100 years only to be cut down for a 14 minute short story.
man lives for 87 years only to be deceased by a small speck.
@@Zawmbbeh Yeah, but the tree could have lived to be 500 years, the man, not so much.
This is beautiful man...
This would be good if he could just shout fire balls out his fingers like a gun and he says "bang!"...
NOW THATS A MOVIE!!
I hope so that the tree is a paid actor.
Plot twist he doesnt actually have fire power he is just 24/7 pissed
I just saw this guy in a BBC series’s and he was brilliant
"Struggle to control" He looks fine to me....
He lit the Amazon rainforest
Beautifully acted. My new favorite actor is featured on my favorite channel. I must've missed this short; there are so many good ones.
I wish I stuck/would stick up as strongly to my own toxic family. I just might soon.
Lovely cutaways to the small seedlings.
The boy had absolutely no need to have super powers. The story was whole.
Its obvious he had all this power and no control. Was clumsy and careless until the man showed him how to direct his power into the tree.
at the end lil one said : " where we going?X
he look and smiled
i thking hes going to join xmen aint his name pyro???????????
Omeleto, I wonder how you come up with a name like Omeleto but I like it
i was literally just thinking that
Well by my Reckoning they did what any Texan would do when trying to speak Spanish and not knowing the word they're reaching for, such as "Hola meo necessito el rido en el caro" I hope this clarifies as to how omeleto was come up with. Obviously a Texan was hungry an in the mood for an omelette...musta been a Spanish speaking spot and Voila. Fast forward two years to said Texans inception of UA-cam movie channel and bam insert awesome new word.
It sounds like a fancy food
The author write these stories every morning while eating omelette
@@tar_rat yas lol
Did they really cut down a tree for a short film? Or was it animated? Pretty cool
Yall need to make an part 2 of this
"With great strength comes great responsibility" I believe the Boy just became a Man. Peace.
Where are they from?
Their english is on a level i can't afford .-.
U guys need to do full movie, these are very interesting
Hello aemond
I see why he had to leave, so he could get his brother, but I sure hope he took him right back to the woods so they both can learn about pruning.
Unrelated side note though, is the younger brother has a different voice than the kid that is actually there for what reason again lol?
lmao i love how he always has a :o face
I'm here coz I'm getting obsessed with Him lmao He's so good in HOTD
Everybody does.
I don’t understand the start when his dad almost put the cigarette on his skin
I saw the round scars on the boy's skin right at the beginning. Sadly, I recognize those kinds of scars... I don't have any myself--I was abused in other ways--but I knew kids who had them. But, I saw the abusive father trying to burn the teen with the match as part of the whole allegory of "fire": the kid's burns, the father's abuse and the boy's developing abilities and budding confidence.
“Yo, dude, have any lighter?”
“i AM the lighter”
