Signs

Contrary to some assertions about this story being unrealistic in the Information Age, the film's charm is entirely in its reminder that we don't need smartphones and the like to powerfully connect with others. This story is a fantasy, to be sure. It's the same fantasy - kindred spirits meeting, with some luck and a leap of faith required - that has always been the basis of all rewarding relationships since time began.

I first watched this film stumbling the internet and fell in love the cinematography. The story is great, it really makes you feel good after watching it. The actors were right on key with the story and really made you feel like you were apart of them. I want to know what camera lens they used on the shoot. The lighting was so so it was nothing exciting. I thought the editing on it was great and went with the music, which also fit the mood of the film perfectly. Patrick Hughues is a great up in coming director and I look forward to his future films! Overall I give it a 10 and hope Patrick Hughues keeps coming out with great works!

"Signs" is a twelve minutes romantic short film directed by Patrick Hughes that portrais loneliness and sadness. I think is good amd entertaining, but I don't like cliff hangers.

During the short film, we see Jason's repetitive life, and how he's always alone, but everything suddendly changes once he meets someone special in his workplace.

The music is melanchonic and calm, but the more he communicates with the girl, the more the music becomes joyful, catchy, but sadly, it will go back to be calm and sad...

I think it's called "signs" because the two characters never actually speak, and communicate solely with signs.

I recommend it as it's a great short film.

A man is sick and tired of his usual life and feels loneliness he is single. One day, he sees a woman in a building next to his office. Since then they have communicated with written signs and the man's life is becoming lively more and more. He tries to show words, "Do you want to meet me?" But he hesitates and sadly the woman disappears. He is depressed so badly and regrets not writing the question. While he is working, something lightens his face. He looks up and he is surprised.

This film is so romantic that I was moved. their love is beautiful and I'd like to experience such a thing. And I understand his feeling very well. Anyone will be fed up with an ordinary and boring life that is like products made on a conveyor belt. Therefore a person who we love from the heart is necessary. Someday, I also want to meet such a person.

If you already have someone whom you cherish, please continue to do so. He or she may brighten your life. The more you cherish your partner, the more wonderful your life will be. So, like the man's story.

It seems rather odd that Disney received the Oscar for Best Animated Short considering that much of this plot seems inspired by this earlier film, "Signs". See them both--you'll probably see what I mean.

The film is done without verbal dialog. A young man is working in the big city and is feeling alienated and alone. As a result, he seems to be just going through the paces in life. However, one day as he looks out the window of the office where he works, he sees a cute lady in the building next door. And, surprisingly, she draws a little sign and soon they begin conversing and telling jokes from their respective jobs. But, they don't meet in person. What's next? See it and find out for yourself.

This film is excellent because it shows what can be done without dialog. Despite this limitation, the film is quite touching and clever. Very well done and well worth your time...and quite original.
