Pylon | A Gang of Feral Teens Force a Terrified Boy Into a Dangerous Situation | Drama Short Film

- A field. A gang. An airgun. A frightened boy. His brave sister. Their determined mother. And a towering steel obelisk overseeing it all. 'Pylon' is about fractious family relationships, the horrors siblings subject each other to and the indelible marks they leave.
Pylon by Barnaby Blackburn

"I think boys at that age are all trying to figure themselves out and I think that often all the discomfort and confusion of that manifests in violence. It’s something that isn’t specific to class. It’s primal and it exists everywhere. Pylon is really a middle-class story. I didn’t want to create a film that people could detach themselves from and say Ooh well, this is happening because they have neglectful parents or low income”. They’re committing these atrocities because of something else. Something more fundamental. I think the accuracy of that behaviour in the film comes from the clarity of my own memories at that age combined with casting boys that felt like they could be anyone’s son, nephew or little brother. I think that’s why it’s so difficult to watch for some people because they feel like they know boys just like the ones in the film."

Sinceramente história ridícula! O menino era seu irmão? Matou a própria mãe? Pois nada fez.
I'd say "hell yeah I'm afraid of height's and hell no I'm not going up there!"
One of the hardest hitting short films about bullying and potential effects
Carrot makes it all the way to the top only to join his mum sitting on the power line.
Interesting that the shirtless guy they chose has some excess fat -- no abs. Usually they cast a part like that with a fit boy. But it's a good story of teenage stupidity, which we might all have been guilty of.
Omg the little girl has happiness the she a girl is poor little boy 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
They were siblings. The teen called her Mom in the end. So the young boy is his brother.
You could tell they were siblings way earlier than the final scene. I knew from the first interactions that they were brothers. Terribly sad story though.
Ai está que los de primer mundo no siempre están bien de la choya. Pues al no saber valorar hace cosas estúpidas. A veces el esforzarse en la vida porta valores que hacen responsables al ser humano
الام واخت الطفل بارعات وتظحيه كبيره من أجل إنقاذ الولد الصغير
That they do, they thanks for watching
طيب الولد الصغير مات؟
Wow! 😮
Even though it is just a short drama, but i still feel sad for the poor boy and his mom.
It really does hit hard in those final moments. Thanks for watching.
Soo sad movie 😢😢
Non so se é morto...il ragazzino
Poi te lo dico
RESIST
Les voyous
Damn. It.
That moment when he realizes that he's forfeitted the rest of his life to guilt, shame, humiliation and more. That in his tough guy routine, he destroyed himself, his mother, his family, his community. It was clear early on that he was the older brother. He was conflicted between maintaining his leader status, picking on lil bro, and the part of him that wanted to protect lil bro. Yes, that emotion was there, too.
A beautiful story. The actor playing the older bro did a wonderful job, conveying with facial expression what could never be said in words. Kudos for a movie whose story will stay with me for a long time.
Thank you for the insightful comment
Hmm, Well the film lost all meaning with an ending that left the little boy still up the pylon!.
Que vídeo péssimo
Video bom para KLH
Louis Thresher's acting was awesome. He has a future pursuing that gift.
💯
No siblings subjected each other to horrors. A gang of strange, bully, older boys subjected an unrelated, younger boy to horrors of airgun shootings and climbing dangerous heights.
No fractious family relationships were portrayed. On the contrary, the young boy, his younger sister and their mother had loving, closely-bonded relationships with each other.
The boy who leads the gang of teens is in fact his older brother. You can read about that and how the film was made in our interview with Barnaby the director directorsnotes.com/2024/09/11/barnaby-blackburn-pylon/
The chief bully was the climbing boy's brother. The dead woman is their mother.
@@mikephalen3162 Thanks for the clarification. I don't know how I missed that information.
