The Gift Review
I think this story is amazing, because I could not think and come up with such an idea. The unicorn is generally fantasy figure, in addition, a robot comes out. I think most people who know the word 'unicorn' can imagine what the unicorn looks like. However, the figure of the unicorn does not come out as what we can usually imagine. Also what I am interested in and think it is impressive is the unicorn is related to 'danger', though the unicorn is usually a divine symbol. I simply enjoy this film. It might be a good and spectacular film because it is short, but I hope that this will be a longer film at least for one hour.
thrilling and complicated
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.
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.
Mobile Destruction
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.
Watch for CGI
It was very easy for me to be dragged into the world of sci-fi Russia. Mixtures of CGI and old fashioned Moscow was something worth watching for sure. However, there was "too much information" on the other hand, as a short film. As there is "high fantasy" and "low fantasy," we can say that the sub genre of this film is "low sci-fi". And since it is based on our real world, the question of asking "how?" was inevitable. For instance, I found my self getting interested in how Russia (or could it be Soviet still? Lots of questions) became a Robo-tech super nation rather than its main theme, "Gift" To conclude, I wanted to watch this in 90 minutes film.
