What the heck man?!

I thought this short was going to be pretty entertaining (maybe even kind of deep) to watch, like other short titles that are out there. Man was this boring though, all she did was chase that guy repeatedly uttering out the same word over and over again. And the animation on it kind of reminded me of the old Sesame Street shorts...only without the number counting thing.

Overall, a very repetitive title to watch. It did say it was an experimental short, so I guess we have to take that into account.

It was flipping creepy but I believe the message overall was about a man who kept saying to the woman, "I LOVE YOU", but kept cheating on her or avoiding her of some sorts and thus his words did not mean much. However, the women fell in love with him too deeply and became clingy and as the time goes by she tries to do many things to him so that they could become a couple. Unfortunately, she begins to lose ideas and she comes up with the idea of hitting over the head, so that he can be brain damage, which he is at the end............its a really creepy and sad story.

Another interpretation could be that she scared him sooo much that he became submissive to her but that sounds weird........I like the first interpretation better. =)

This was indeed creepy. I thought they were complaining about pain instead of saying ‘I love you’. And if this is love, I don’t want to experiment it.

I shouldn’t had watched this at night.

I get where he's coming from. I feel the same, really. People who are infatuated with someone tend to be very abusive towards that person. People misunderstand the concept of love, and when they love somoene, they just ask or rather demand too much out of that person. In other words, for most people, especially the younger ones saying "I love you" equals "I want to own you".

This movie deliberately plays with the similar pronounciation of love and pain. It's tragic that love can turn out so negatively and eventually lead to an unhealthy relationship.

I thought this was semi-interesting. Seemed to me it was about ritual courtship at first, but then the male character wanted to get away from the female character because she started to become too clingy. She has other plans , however and pursues the male never letting him go for long at any long amount of time, eventually making him totally subservient to her. The short then shifts to a theme at the end where the relationship is obviously only benefitting one party and making the other miserable. Not a bad film, but nothing great. 6/10
Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.

I liked it better than the Human Zoo, I think this did a bit better job telling a story. I too think that the story was a progression from crush (as shown by the woman hiding behind a tree) to her becoming obsessed and causing the guy harm and ending up in a bed.
