Invincible

I just watched on the theater, in fact the session shows some of Oscar nominated movies and this movie was in the list and the winner also "history of Henry Sugar"

The movie " invincible" is a drama from Canada and is inspired on a real history.

Most movies we want see is a successful person or a very bad person but when it's come to a normal person, it's annoying because we see around people with similar life.

So, this short movie can be resumed in a history of a spolied boy who can't accept any discipline and by committed a crime, went to the nice prision in Canada where they tried to help him but as any spoiled kid, scaped and killed himself. Well done, most spoiled criminal kids should follow his step for the goodness of society.

Vincent René-Lortie's Academy Award-nominated "Invincible" tells the story of a youth incarcerated in a detention facility. Without a doubt, this boy has all sorts of problems, but he makes an effort to deal with his problems.

I guess that the main thing to take from this gritty short is that psychological distress damages people in ways that most of us can't imagine. We in the United States are so used to thinking of Canada as the land of no strife that a production like this will be like a brick to the face.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this short a masterpiece, but it still goes to show what you can accomplish with a good story and good acting. Available on Vimeo.

An exceptional work, executed with sensitivity, that delves into the psychological distress of an adolescent. Each moment intricately weaves a poignant narrative, vividly portraying the challenges and triumphs inherent to this phase of life. This creation transcends mere observation, immersing the viewer in a profound sea of emotions. It's more than a visual journey; it's a profound exploration of the complex human experience. A mesmerizing tapestry that captures the intricate nuances of emotion. To watch with discerning eyes and an open heart, as it unfolds a rich tapestry of the profound human condition.

I really liked this short film, everything aspect was really well done except the frustration of not knowing why Marc was the way he was (understandably, as it's based on a true story and no one will know what Marc was thinking). Despite having mental health issues myself, I could not empathize with his self sabotaging behavior and that took me out of the film a bit.

It's well worth the watch still - the cinematography was gorgeous, the acting from all (but especially the young man playing Marc) was great and the directing was on point. It's only 30 minutes so there really isn't much of an excuse not to watch it lol.

"Invincible" is a gripping and poignant exploration of the human spirit's desperate yearning for freedom, set against the stark backdrop of a rehabilitation center for troubled children. Directed by visionary filmmaker Vincent René-Lortie, this emotionally charged film takes audiences on a harrowing journey through the depths of despair and the elusive pursuit of liberty.

The protagonist, Marc, brilliantly portrayed by Leokim Beaumier Lépine, is a young soul trapped within the confines of a rehabilitation center, a place meant to heal but, in his case, becomes a prison of the mind. The film adeptly navigates the complexities of Marc's troubled past. The supporting cast, including the counselor and fellow patients, deliver standout performances, adding layers to the narrative and emphasizing the impact of institutionalization on vulnerable individuals. The relationships formed within the center reveal the subtle nuances of human connection, but ultimately underscore the profound isolation Marc feels.

Great job, hope that gets nominated.
