      The woman seems to be well supplied and well equipped, not out of ammo. Her uniform looks new (after 17 years of war!). She openly wears the political symbolic of her army on an enemy territory, which would be risky if she was not connected to her unit, while obtaining neutral clothing would be easy.
      This brings the conclusion that the enemy actually won the war.
      Also, there is not much of bodes lying around, except the teammate of the protagonst, who possibly left the shelter recently as well (he had the charged transmitter), but was killed.
      This suggests that the population had, at best, evacuated, and at worst, was enslaved/exterminated by the enemy forces, who wears the symbols resembling those of the Nazis.
      In such circumstances it is grossly unwise to trust that woman.

    @KevetteofArethria Před 3 lety +551

    Honest review.
    This short film is honestly awesome. There is no story, barely any background, no dialogue. You don't need that to make something engaging while also doing some amazing world building at the same time. You could feel the emotion from the moment he popped out of cryosleep. Confusion, sadness, desperation. It really makes you think about what you would do if /you/ were the last man. If the world you knew was suddenly gone. When it reaches the end you can see their eyes slowly show the realization that they may very well be the only two people left. They put down their arms (presumably) and the war that put them in that situation finally ends. Absolutely amazing. The camera work, the atmosphere, the soundtrack. The bit in the end where ALL sound is cut in order to make you reflect on what you just saw. Ten out of fucking ten would pay to see a movie like this if it were only a tad bit longer.

      The woman seems to be well supplied and well equipped, not out of ammo. Her uniform looks new. She openly wears the political symbolic of her army on an enemy territory, which would be risky if she was not connected to her unit, while obtaining neutral clothing would be easy.
      This brings the conclusion that the enemy actually won the war.
      Also, there is not much of bodes lying around, except the teammate of the protagonst, who possibly left the shelter recently as well (he had the charged transmitter), but was killed.
      This suggests that the population had, at best, evacuated, and at worst, was enslaved/exterminated by the enemy forces, who wears the symbols resembling those of the Nazis.
      In such circumstances it is grossly unwise to trust that woman.

      even the moral concept, is beautiful, that life is more important that war.
      that even when there is nobody left, two people on enemy sides, should find peace amongst eachother.
      maybe that is what mr. director was trying to say.
      in honor of their father.
