    The fact that we want to know what’s in the box just shows how much we appreciate are are captivated by the story😊. Very nice job- you will go far.

    Life is strange.
    A Gift which can't be named in the public may save one's life during an identity crisis. Fantastic Film ☺️

    For a while, I thought the cyborg buying the pretty necklace was a cop-out for appreciating what he has, like the present. But just as I previously made the analogy that his gift represents his flaw, I realized the necklace represents something important too. It reflects the cyborg's effort to better himself. It would be so easy for him to just go home and give her (the special someone) his present, and he wouldn't have had that run-in with his doppelganger. But he reason he bought the necklace is because it signifies he wants to be a better person for her. That's love right there.

    This is a nice film! Taught me a lesson that anyone can pretend to be you and the only way to prove it is to be honest! 😅
    Also I forgot to mention that anyone can put the blame on you no matter how much you know them or not.

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before!

  • @brettsalter3300
    @brettsalter3300 Před 2 lety +23

    Wow, justice is served, no angst or mistaken identity involving numerous chase scenes, explosions, probably death and break up of family, home life, friends etc. Just a simple deception immediately solved I LOVE it!!

  • @emojiguy4187

    This is a wonderful short film, everything was neatly done. The story, the animation while lacking non robotic movements it was still good. The voice acting is good enough. 8/10 Great Story.

    @_ray_of_sunshine_4972 Před 2 lety +28

    Astounding work!! The animation is absolutely incredible, and I felt captivated by the story. I love the fact that the viewers don't have access to the content of the box; it illustrates that each individual is in the possession of something so intimate that no one can access since that something isn't part of them, consisting of a separate type of "matter". We're all children of the stars, but each star has its own way of shining :))

  • @gisellechausse5261
    @gisellechausse5261 Před 2 lety +11

    I'd like to think whatever embarrassing gift was inside that box, it symbolizes what he perceives as his flaws. Sometimes, our flaws are what makes us one of a kind.

  • @legenesantuele2008
    @legenesantuele2008 Před rokem +3

    Very nice ,and brilliant idea ...knowing he's identity first is more important to know the truth and the box is a big help for him..to know who is the real wanted ......I like this film much....😁

    No can steal your identity, Kasi ikaw Ang nakakakilala sa sarili mo. People may mistakenly see you the way they thought you were, but justice is held to those people who know themselves!

    even if it seems to you that your all features are same with everyone, you have a special gift box that no one knows what it has inside; it makes you, you. it doesnt have to be awesome, you may not like what do you have, but it doesnt diminish its pravicy and exclusiveness.

  • @brettsalter3300
    @brettsalter3300 Před 2 lety +6

    Much rather watch this simple, clever story for 6 mins than the extra hour and a half of shoot 'em up chase scenes, because the cops are too stupid to initiate such a basic inquiry at this point in the film. Hollywood should learn from this! Thank you.

    Life is not between birth and death; life is not the series of activities nor the journey. Life is eternal. We, the spiritual being, are said to be a life particle. We bring life to the temporary body while we are in it.

    How unfair is that add to make you doubt yourself for the price tag or "value" of your gift to your loved one... and what a lesson that he realised his own worth by the uniqueness of his gift... do we all need life-or-death situations to realise our own worth is always superior to what this consumerist society can impose as "valuable"? ...
