<p>I love this so much. Jim Carrey gave amazing thoughts here that I relate to. Its a simple film really but just one that most people need to hear. I did not arrive to new realizations but I did find qoutes that were able to word what I had already thought of.<br><br>My personal favorite qoute is “You know the bottom line with all of this whether it’s performance or it’s art or sculpture is love. We want to show ourselves and have that be accepted. I love being alive and the art is the evidence of that.”</p>
<p>I love MGG’s acting in this as well as the guy’s from Victorious. The scenes were so well-timed. The effects of the chalk? Very funny. I didn’t even notice the time passing. Overall super enjoyable!</p>
<p>This is not long enough. Everything is perfectly timed, from the death of the partner to the transition of the photo to the bag of cash. The visuals are insane and so is the soundtrack and the sound effects. It took me a bit of time to realize this was animated. I was hit with grief when the bullet hit and shock upon realizing there was another person in the car. I hadn’t read the description nor did i grasp what the title meant. The symbolism between the watches is also an appreciated touch.</p>
<p>Dude, the two main characters had me rooting so badly for them. It’s such a cute love story with realistic thoughts from both sides. The two are very enjoyable and so are the background characters. Its refreshing for romance these days to feel like this in films, not just due to the plot as it is relatively simple but due to how it was delivered.</p>
Everything came together! It’s a very cute film that really just shows the daily lives of bus drivers. These films are a need. Its lighthearted but definitely has lessons you could pick up on.
I take the boyfriend taking his skin off as removing a distinct part of himself for the sake of the girlfriend’s happiness. It may also be setting limitations on himself because its what the girlfriend wants. My first thoughts were that he had stockholm syndrome and he just clung onto the only one not treating him differently, his abuser. Those thoughts didn’t stick long though as the film progressed.<br><br>Before proceeding to read my <i>thoughts</i>, do note that I see the house as a reflection of their relationship. I also see the blood prints he leaves behind as his emotions, problems, or insecurities that have metaphorically bled out. The blood is noticeable.<br><br>After the guy removed his skin, the couple lived in bliss. They were trapped in this bubble of their relationship. Him taking his skin off for her seemed to elevate their chemistry. At least we think so, as the film is from the POV of the one who requested the removing. They had good sex but she woke up and had to clean the house after. She had to clean up the blood that got onto the things around. She managed to handle it though.<br><br>As time passed, problems arose. He felt cold easier to which the girlfriend <i>temporarily</i> helped by getting the heat up higher and giving him blankets. She in turn felt like she was melting. She made a joke about how at least it wasn’t winter yet, though she knew it would one day be. I think well of the symbolism in that. Another problem were their bills. We see a clip of stacked up bills beside a picture frame of the couple. He had difficulty handling his cilents and the stressful situation it put them in. She comforted him and he clung onto that comfort, onto the familiarity.<br><br>We get another scene of her waking up to bloodied sheets, this time not accompanied with cleaning. The scene is instead paired with her showering and stretching her pale skin that seemed to be stained with the blood of her boyfriend. Here, I thought that she wanted to peel off her own skin or finally accepted that part of her was scared of the act yet had no qualms over her lover doing so.<br><br>Apparently deciding that we needed to see not only the familiarity of his work and sensitivity being ruined, the girl invites some of his old friends over. Through out, he acts unlike himself. His friends take notice of the blood stains and ask questions about his missing skin. He answers with a word or two. He apparently loved words and would often use an extensive amount of them when only a few were in need, at least before his skin was off. He likely felt that his behavior or the blood already said everything that needed to be said. The breaking point for him is when the glass beside him shatters and the couple make eye contact. <br><br>The girl seems quite resigned and frankly has been. She wakes up and see him dressed taking time to touch his old skin looking dry as it hangs, he eventually leaves for work; she stays silent throughout and goes back to sleep. <br><br>We then get up close shots of his blood around the house. We see the stains on handles, sheets, walls, and the same picture frame of the couple from the scene with stacked bills. She realizes that the blood is <i>everywhere</i>. She realizes that it’s no longer manageable or chooses in that moment to give up trying to manage the mess. <br><br>They eat dinner in silence with bloodied walls in the background. They get into bed together and that too remains silent. She gestures for affection and he turns to face her. She does not turn away, they look at each other. He reaches out and grabs a piece of her skin, stretching it out. The film ends.<br>
My OG short film to watch when I feel like I needed to be reminded of how my mother feels watching the growth of her child. (Show this to ungrateful children when they’re being brats, even if they don’t understand, they’ll feel sad)
<p>We’re all at different stages in life with different circumstances. We have different goals and priorities. A comment from Youtube of this video said something about comparing your insides to someone’s outside. Comparison in itself is always a thief of joy but it’s even worse when you comoare your problems to another person’s happiness.<br><br>People are different people. For some, youth is a distant memory that they long for. For others, a long and settled in life is too far to grasp. Envy is an ugly emotion but it will always exist in people.<br><br>A lesson that the parents could learn is to take control of their emotions rather than letting their emotions control them. You can’t control how you feel but those feelings shouldn’t control you. They are getting old yes but get a grip, they did eventually learn that though. Can’t really blame them, they’re new parents if three kids!<br><br>Its plain and clear that the mother is just like any other stubborn person out there. People who can only appreciate once something bad has happened or something that made them realize that they are somewhat lucky (they are more than somewhat lucky with their positions in life, we just see a stressful time for them).<br><br>This film doesn’t show the worse situation someone could possibly be in but it does show how we create our own sources of misery and how it’s almost impossible to stay away. It’s not the best but give it a go.</p>
