.trohs etunim-11 siht rof yaw gnivap, sehsinif mlif 8691 a dna (KU) 4 lennahc no pots I. slennahc eht hguorht frus I os peels ot kcab teg t'nac I. (kcolc o 3 tuoba) gninrom txen ylrae yllaer pu ekaw, gnineve eno ylrae pellsa llaf I.
My story, in case you hadn't guessed, was told in backwards as is the main character's in Palindromo. A palindrome is a word which reads the same backwards (i.e. racecar). But this film doesn't quite live up to the title, as it is told backwards and the only thing the same at beginning to end is the main character walking down the street and screaming, which coincidentally is the only thing not told backwards.
Yes it is gimmicky, and the story is simple, but if you were to make a film in which everything was told backwards (the gimmick and hence the title of the short) you wouldn't want a story that went on for hours or had a story too complicated, or the audience would get bored.
Having said that I do have some thoughts.
The only amazing thing about the film was how amazingly easy it was to piece the story together at the end. It wasn't anything special, pretty average, but well acted.
So what's next? Well apalrtnepy a hmaun bieng can siltl raed wrdos eevn wehn the lterets in the mddlie are mddlued up, as lnog as the frist and lsat ltetres are in the rghit pacle. So mybae a film wrehe the fsirt and lsat sneces are in the rghit pclae but all the oherts are msesed up. By the way it's my idea. HAHAHAHA!
