    This 15 minutes are more expressive than all the 2 hours in most hollywoodfilms!

    Of your three short films this is my favourite. It feels fully fleshed out with a satisfying conclusion. The elevator scene was great.... really ramped up the suspense! The characters were interesting and engaging. I loved the cinematography and direction. If you accomplished this on a limited budget you're a film company's dream. You seem to have the full package. I hope you get head hunted soon.

    My instinct is that when the doctor said to count out bleem beans the prof should have counted out 3, given the doctor the bleemth one to hide in his hand then put the 4th one on the table with the other 3. That way the bleemth one is "elsewhere" unseen, not in another dimension but represented as being so.

      Between the 3th and 4th as in a dimension where time is linear?

    I watched this for the first time 10 years after it was put out and I would rather watch this than most movies put out today. It had my jaw on the floor by the end.

    Yes!! This is again one of the rare thriller/mystery shortfilms that give me the, what I call Shutter Island-feeling. Great story, great cinematography. This style is my favorite.

  • @siafhir
    @siafhir 11 років тому +29

    I read the shortstory a few times in the past few years. One of my favourites. Hadn't known it was made into a film until now. Nicely done!

    • @Rabbit-the-One

      I believe it actually started as a George Carlin joke on the show Smothers Brothers.

    Bleem represents a rotation out of 3-space. We have "0" - a point. Then "1" - a line. Then "2" - a plane. Then "3" - a volume, the three-dimensional space in which we live. But to get to "4" - a hypervolume stretching into the fourth dimension, the time dimension - we must rotate out of 3-space into 4-space, and that act of rotation is bleem. Bleem can be assigned a "value" of pi, denoting a complete rotation out of 3-space and back in, and that's why we can't normally see it. In the penultimate scene, the bleemth jellybean had had the third jellybean superimposed upon its point of return, so it couldn't rotate back into our space until the attendant took that third jellybean and left an open space for it to reappear.

    @rothenstien3060 2 роки тому +1

    Just saw a synopsis on TikTok and figured I’d give it a go. The idea of a base 11 system of math isn’t too bad, Mayans had a 12 base if I remember correctly. Using a different base could be helpful in some calculations, but base 10 is much easier given our language and understanding. Theories of the impossible equations can sometimes lead to a different base to reach a correct answer

      He's right, if you take 3 and 5 and put them together, you get 8, which is infinity sideways.
      Having access to infinity sideways, the mathematician went back to a different point in infinity to tell the Doctor as a kid that his math was the real deal. The only problem was that he had to go back sideways, so he didn't see the car coming in his poorly aged peripherals. Twas hubris that killed the good mathematician.

    @arianelcole 3 місяці тому +1

    This is formally childish in maths, an integer doesn't have to be an ordinal, if not try to count -8, 5i+2 or 7w,. are they mad as well? The very question about what is bleem is to formally descrbe it, not to count with it. If we assume it's an integer from the reals, then if bleem is sucessor of three, then bleem=four and four=five. It doesn't matter how you call it. The uniqueness of the sucessor and the closure of integers are properties of Peano axioms easily demonstrable.

    @runeuc 12 років тому +1

    Very well crafted. Great eye. Short stories are challenging in that you are forced to cram so much into a limited amount of time. It is difficult to obscure connections. The scene after the accident cuts to the doctor's office, so you know the patient is very likely the accident victim. Even depth of field cannot hide the white hair. After the doctor/kid/jellybean flashback you know that the patient is the one that got hit and how the story will end. Go make more!

    It wouldn't be any number we could think of that's between 3 and 4, because none of them are integers; they are simply irrational numbers, fractions, or decimals. That's why bleem is said to be secret; to understand it probably requires knowledge of the fundamental fabrics of the world, and that's what makes this film so intriguing.

    I think I get it - when the guy is talking about how this number can allow us to gain access to the higher dimensions, he was also talking about the fourth, which I am pretty sure is time. By using this number, he accidentally (or maybe on purpose) sent himself back in time! Anyways, I thought this was very well done, and I've always loved these kind of films... Also I like the mathematicians room number...
