Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
missonigiri Everyone desires the box - the mysteriously attractive box that, like the ring from The Lord of the Rings, make people attached to it even to the point of murdering. The short film takes place in a modern city where robots and 'traditional' human beings, like us, live together. One day, a man walks into the city carrying the box, and the scramble for the mystical box begins.When I watched it for the first time, I didn't really get the whole story. Though it seemed like it was something new to me and it was fascinating. For instance, the way the robot moves and their human-like yet still very inhuman and steady face expression immediately grabbed my attention. I, then, tried giving it a watch another few times and I came to appreciate the short more. Everyone is attracted to the box and tries to get it, but when they finally acquire it, it brings them death. It's a deadly box. After I got it, I particularly liked the ending: a boy staring at the box.
milky2 I like this story, because it is a very thrilling and unrealistic movie.This story is very serious. In this movie, there is almost no dialog. However we can understand what they want to say from many actors expression and background music! The feeling of strain increase by the effect. The picture was very bright, and the camera work was good,too. There are three main characters.An android.He is very fast and strong. I thought him to be scary. Though his appearance is an android,there are human feelings.The gift is very beautiful and is attractive, everyone wants it.However, those all that got it have died. It is a tale which can be enjoyed although it is not realistic. The story made a profound impression on me. I recommend this movie to you.
tsmtmn2826 I think this story is amazing, because I could not think and come up with such an idea. The unicorn is generally fantasy figure, in addition, a robot comes out. I think most people who know the word 'unicorn' can imagine what the unicorn looks like. However, the figure of the unicorn does not come out as what we can usually imagine. Also what I am interested in and think it is impressive is the unicorn is related to 'danger', though the unicorn is usually a divine symbol. I simply enjoy this film. It might be a good and spectacular film because it is short, but I hope that this will be a longer film at least for one hour.
p_san331 It seemed that this 5 minute SF film contained a plot of a long film. The film takes place in a parallel world where the civilization is higher than ours. The film starts out as if it is a slow tempo film but as it goes on it picks up its pace and becomes an action film in the end. The more it goes on the more you are drawn in the film. It doesn't matter if you understand the language. The action will do the job. It makes you think about the near future and the ending of the film left out the viewers to think what would happen in the 'other' world. By the way of ending, it make us feel the story is going to continue. It makes me excited.
