SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

babysherry-99141 Why did the younger one go back to the older one after the older one shot him twice? At the end, the older one wanted the young one to come back because he knew that there were other mine nearby? If the older one left the younger one alone at first, they could have both stay alive... They were only enemies at wars... because they were soldiers. But if they were not at the battlefield, they were just two HUMANs... why wouldn't they help each other...The younger one is kind of cute and the owl is fluffy with a BIG head hahahahaha! #WorldPeace

Kirpianuscus as witness of a confrontation who seems the right manifesto against war. because, in fact, this is the motif who gives to this short film a special charm. two soldiers. a sort of cat-and-mouse game. and perfect landscape. the change of roles. and the captivity . and, sure, the owl. it is impressive the manner to give, in less than 10 minutes, a subtle, powerful and convincing message, using the black humor as basic tool. because it is one of films who are surprising for the smart solution to a crisis who seems a chess game.

Prismark10 Acim Vasic should be applauded for this 10 minute short film set in a snowy forest in an unknown country, mainland Europe, I guess and an unknown war, the second world war I reckon.O is shot down behind enemy lines. X captures him and marches him through a snowy forest. Each time O gets an opportunity to escape, he is gunned down by X.There is an opportunity to turn the tables when X steps on a landmine and O grabs the rifle.It is a simple plot with not dialogue apart from a clacking sound made by X each time he wants O's attention.The short is regarded as absurd but I did not view it as a comedy. A game of noughts and crosses played out in real life. Very well photographed, lovely sound effects and the director showed a lot of skill in making this short.

Theo Robertson A soldier patrols a snow clad forest . A plane's engine is heard spluttering and a plane crashes . The soldier comes across the pilot and takes him prisoner but the pilot doesn't want to end up in POW campThere's a fair bit wrong with this short . There's no dialogue and it tries to be ambiguous by taking place In an unnamed setting and time frame because the uniforms and aircraft with turbo prop engines suggest it's the Second World War , but that said it's near impossible to visualise on screen a generic war that is timeless and could be taking anywhere or at anytime But this is not what 8 concerns itself with . Instead director Acim Vasic and the production team entirely concentrate on the audio , an often overlooked part of film making . There is no dialogue and everything is told by action and sound . It is impressive and even if you can work out what the pay off is going to be as I did the technicalities of sound mix and sound editing kept me engaged within the film
