  • In the not-too-distant future, a tenuous peace between humans and remarkably humanlike “machines”-some don’t even know they’re not real-is tested when synthetics begin spontaneously exploding. A military-led search for these unwitting suicide bombers begins, sending a terrified machine woman and her human partner on the run.
    "Seam" by Rajeev Dassani and Elan Dassani

    More About Seam:
    An Arab refugee woman tries to find her way to safety in the aftermath of a massive war. That war was with our Machine Creations. She discovers that she is a suicide sleeper bomb, embedded in the human population years ago, and has lived without knowledge of what she actually is. Her soldier husband must now help her get to the Machine Homeland, deep within the Arabian desert, before its too late, hunted by human forces who believe she is a spy bringing vital information to the enemy.

      Why when you use Arabic in films, it is incomprehensible and you use a dialect, such as the Iraqi dialect from 22 other Arabic dialects, it is better if you use classical Arabic or at least a white accent that is understandable and with a clear voice as the English is clear in the film, I'm Arabic speaker I read the CC so I can understand

      In that area of the world there are many people with hazel and green eyes. Height is just as various as it is in any country. If it is common for women to wear head scarves there, then normally it would be hard to get description of the hair. I do see the point you're trying to make though. I'm sure in places like Sweeden where it is common to be a blue eyed blonde or South Korea where it is common to have dark eyes and black hair you probably pick up on physical features a lot faster than we do in the United States.

    That absolutely *withering* stare of condemnation by the man to the machine at the end gives me chills. Even the border guard robot wilts underneath it, shrinking back from the man a hundred times smaller than it, as if in a moment of guilt by association for the death of the woman who the machines literally made as a living bomb. You get the feeling that the machines crossed a moral line, creating the sleeper people, but, like humans, it took being confronted with the real consequences of their actions for the weight of that act to really sink in.
    Great stuff.

    • @jarowan
      @jarowan Před 3 lety +2

      The short doesn't ever really explain what the hell was the point of it, though. *why* create sleeper bombs? If the goal is to do damage, they'd do a lot more if they actually walked into something vital before detonation, not just at whatever random location they happened to be in. It actually makes a lot more sense if they weren't actually intended to blow up, but were long term (unknowing) assets, but there was a design flaw. So yeah, this is an excellent short, aside from the entire premise making no sense.

    • @palisadepaladin8522
      @palisadepaladin8522 Před 3 lety +7

      @@jarowan I assume the idea behind the tactic was primarily psychological in nature, rather than physical. They weren't trying to destroy high-priority military targets, they were trying to make people scared. It's the same logic behind terrorist attacks. The goal is fear. The machines wanted humans to fear one another, to be worried that everyone they meet might actually be a replicant bomb, just waiting to go off. As far as psychological attacks go, it's a fairly effective, if vicious one. As long as the machines could sneak these sleeper bombs into the populace, humanity would become wary of crossing them, just to prevent the attacks.
      It was only when they were confronted with the real consequences of their "efficient" strategy, however, did the machines show guilt about the tactic, showing just how human they really are.

      The machines are also pretty stupid. They create an infiltration unit which is indistinguishable from humans, can completely blend in, but occasionally emits blue light for no reason. Also, a suicide bomber robot needs a looooong time warming up before the explosion, emitting a lot of strange light in the process, so its victims have plenty of time to flee...

    I'm blown away for such a short movie but excellently made and amazing no-none sense story line! Looking forward to more of these. Thank you Dust.

    To be honest, when she said she was scared, I would have held her. Better to go together than to be alone with that memory.

    Excellent film. I WANT MORE. That film should have been produced as a full length feature. Amazing how they crammed so much plot into so little time! I am promoting this to everyone I know!

    One of the best shorts I've ever seen. Cyberpunk elements, dark future, a war with AI, even a love story with special social ramifications....damn, all that in under 20 minutes. LOVE me some dust by god! Hope you keep these coming and do full length features on shorts like this.

    This was great, and deeper than it deserves to be. I am impressed. Everything worked from the actors to the scoring. Pitch perfect well done.

    That's one of the things I love about humanity. Despite personal beliefs, political, religious or otherwise, we all can tell stories which we can all enjoy.

    Man these shorts are better than full length feature films!

    This short was really well done. The story's theme as well as some of the music reminded me a lot of the Battlestar Galactica (2004) series, which is always a good thing in my books :)

      They did. It was called "The Matrix." This story is taken from the early part of the "Animatrix" history, after the first Machine War when the AI's were sequestered in the middle east desert where they could run on solar power. It looks like this guy was crossing the border at the end of the film, maybe to be the first to get integrated with the Machine energy system in hopes of re-meeting his wife?

      Ya better than the stupid repetitive crap from dc and other comic book heros . Don't get me wrong love them but these are terrific and new.

      @Lion Mane Yep, pretty close to the matrix, at the same time a sad allegory to normal people who are put in situations that are considered pure evil...yet we are not talking about evil people per se... I would say inspired in the matrix, with a brilliant allegory to modern conflicts
