The Window

[JCB]

So, BG7 posted that "Black Button" short film in the other thread and I looked up some other short films by the guys who made that one. This one's called "The Window." Watch it the first time, and you think "what the hell is this." Watch it again, and it all makes sense.

[Really Lost One]

I'm sorry

I don't really understand. So basically he was already dead when everything happened in the bar?

I think the bar was the coma, and leaving it would be passing on. In that sense the black/white girl was already dead, and waiting on him to die. Game over man, game over.

So his mom as already dead, and everyone he was talking to was dreaming. What about his dad? How was he in the bar, yet still awake sittin next to his son?

I think it's because his son was dreaming he was there.

everyone in the bar are people who had visited him while he was in the hospital, and he dreampt up the bar scene as a way of making it all make sense. He kind of heard what they were saying to him, but didn't really understand it all. He died with his father by his side.

Ooooooooh I see. That makes a lil more sense. All that talk of dreams....I thought it was trying to say that everyone connected to him through dreams. Bleh

all his old friends visited him in the hospital, and in his semi-conscious state, he imagined that they were having a party for him. He heard little snippets of what his friends said to him, but it didn't make much sense. They all left along time ago--and quite probably they didn't visit him at the same time to begin with--and in the end the only one left in the bar--his hospital room--was his father, trying to say his good-byes before the bartender--the doctor--indicated that they were running out of time.

His mother represents the reality that he is about to die--she is brought out by the part of his mind that recognizes what has happened and that he is, in fact, about to die.

Oooooh that makes more sense. Still, creepy movie. Imagine being in a coma...but actually waking up, and being able to tell people about being in a bar, and talking to visitors? That'd be sorta cool.
