The Gift

The robot and the box may exist in the near future, but town exists in the present age. I think the director mismatched between the robot and the town. Who is the robot? I want to who the robot is and why does the robot steal the box.Why was everyone charmed by the box? It brings unhappiness. Will the boy pick up the box? I think the boy won't pick it up, but he will open the box. I'm interested in thinking about the end of the movie. This movie is short. I want to see a long version. I also got excited by the car action scene. The scene is powerful. The movie contains grotesque scenes. I like it, but there are a lot of people who don't like a grotesque scenes.

A Russian man delivers a present to a wealthy man, but when it is opened, the box that is in it kills him. This leads to the box changing hands several times, always with destruction in its wake. The country is a combination of futurism with robots all over the place and a regular population in the shadow of the Kremlin. It is open to lots of interpretations but just a little too short on substance.

This is a short sci-fi film. You can see an imaginary Russian city in the future. It is very beautiful and is full of mysterious mood.

To be honest, I don't understand well what is happening in the movie. Many things happen one after another and there are few conversations. However, I enjoyed this film very much because the computer graphics is so elaborate and sophisticated. The car chase scene is amazing. The camera is set so that you can feel high speed of moving vehicles. In addition to that, zooming in and out is effectively used and that makes this movie more attractive.

You must be surprised at the beautiful computer graphics.

This story is hard for me to understand. The detail that are not revealed in this story seems have to imagine myself. What is a unicorn? Why does the man who is run over by a bus kill an old man? Who is the child who gazes at the box? There are a lot of thought-provoking things in this movie.

Also, the action scenes were exciting, The scene of a robot which drove a motorcycle while avoiding the police car was very cool! I also felt a realistic force by the scene that the robot was blown away by crushing the bike against police cars which were blocking a street. His partially destroyed face was very impressive.

Even so, I wonder what was the unicorn. Because it could not be seen in this film, I'm interested in the beautiful contents of the box.

This short film is a bit thrilling and complicated. I could not understand what is going on in the story and most people would probably not be able to understand what the gift truly is the first time they watch it. However, after we figure it out, this short film's story becomes very clear. Also, though we do not understand what the gift truly is, we can not take our eyes off from the film because it makes us be drawn into it. The view of the world in this film is like a science fiction and there are some thrilling scenes. The scenes change at a dizzy speed and it ends very suddenly. I can not say what happens at the end, but I really want to see a continuation of this film. I recommend you to watch it a few times to figure out what the gift is and you will be satisfied by it.
