More about the film
Stanley Franks was informed that he has 1500 words left
to live; to be more exact, he was given a metal counter to keep track of his
word count. He was only permitted to speak for 1500 words before he would pass
away. The test findings were reported to be poor to him.
He was extremely shocked when he learned the dreadful news. He was unsure of how to respond or what to do.
He yelled, feeling all the emotions that anyone would experience upon learning that they have a limited amount of time left to live: thirsty, furious, depressed, despair, and so on. After making a big scene and attempting suicide, Stanley was also experiencing the same sensations. He sat silently on the chair in the doctor's office and attempted to digest his feelings and emotions.
He was angry because the doctor first ignored him, gave
him his space, and was attempting to clean up the mess Stanley had made in his
office.
He gives him a little card with a phone number on it and tells him to call if he needs help.
Who is Julia?
Below is a summary of Stanley and Julia's history. They had been friends since elementary school. Stanley considered many ways to convey to Julia what was going on because she seems to be a highly composed individual, one of which was to make graphics on the blackboard and explain. Then he abandoned that strategy and reasoned that 46 words must suffice to keep a partnership pleasant. He did not inform her, nevertheless, to wait and see.
Stanley spent his day watching TV, eating food, brushing his teeth, and throwing the trash. Winking, eye contact and playful punches were a few of the cutest things that Stanley does to get over the awkwardness.
We Need To Talk
Any person would ultimately grow to despise this and get enraged, and Stanley's wife was no exception. She eventually gave up and remarked, "We Need To Speak," but little further was said before Stanley silently left his home. He headed to the woods, one of his allegedly favorite places to be. He consumes Danish Dagger, goes wild, starts babbling until his pronouns prolapse, and then stops talking because he is so exhausted that he collapses into the dirt and falls asleep.
Just 1 Word Left
The following morning, when he awoke, he discovered that he was down to only one word. He had hazy memories of yelling "Julia!" to a duck. This indicates that he squandered all of his time on unimportant activities. You're probably wondering why he might have used such phrases to speak to his devoted wife Julia. Unluckily, he didn't.
I am Dead
He locates a phone booth nearby and uses it to contact the number displayed on the call. An automated voice call is made when the number is dialed. In addition to helping him personalize his words and guiding them toward a message that has already been pre-recorded in their computer system, this voice call indicates that he can contact someone he loves and inform them that he is about to die.
By repeatedly hitting the numbers 1-3, Stanley alternates between selecting N0.3 for the remaining options and No. 1 for a few options. When he finds his lovely wife Julia's photograph in his wallet, he opens it and daydreams about her in a slow-motion, dreamy form. The fact that he loved her so much at that very time was evident. Your heart will certainly melt in those five seconds.
The phone continued repeating, "I'm sorry, do you need more time," but our protagonist lost patience and screamed, "Yes!" as he was buried in his thoughts. He then realizes with surprise that he has spoken the last word, and the spectator hears a tremendous thump before the scream fades to black. implies that the game is over.
My View
I watched this movie because a trusted source told me to. From my point of view, this short movie is incredibly brief and did a difficult task—explaining a lovely narrative in less than ten minutes. I didn't sense a strong emotional connection to the characters since I don't think a short series would foster the same type of ties. I liked the way he used his last word and I think that it also implies a strong meaning.
While some viewers were expressing their feelings, several others said that they didn't feel emotional. And it appears that the majority of people like it since this film offered a unique perspective that allowed various viewers to examine it from various angles. This is such a big thing because, for a movie that lasts less than eight minutes, it accomplishes so much.
The short movie is available on YouTube.
My rating: is 3.9 / 5
