PACIFIC - Tropfest Finalist (TSI: "Bubble")

[SuprDogy]

I think the fisherman was trying teach the boy a lesson that you need patience with things and I think the fish symbolizes the girl

[TheOldEchoes]

@SuprDogy Nope.

[ishamar039]

='/ man I have cry to much watching "tropfest" videos......enough for one day

[Politicheskoye]

This is the only video that made me cry so far. so sad

[SGartgirl7]

This was gorgeous. It really shows how just the kindness of a stranger can affect someone so greatly

[TheOldEchoes]

@SGartgirl7 Yes!

[AidanD2209]

I knew he had to be related to Hugo Weaving.

[1987jcka]

this is an absolutley beautiful short. wow.

[emoluvjd3]

i think he never caught a fish with his dad and his dad must have died i guess the man was he dad or somthing

[hughGwilly]

i think his dad was an worker on the oil rigs and was hunted and eaten by a genetically enhanced, killer fish after he conned the navy. nah jks, i dont get it but i still loved it =P

[TheFoolishNutter]

I don't get it, but it still made me cry for some reason

[eppingoz]

Thats ok I don't get it either

[WoltaAndJacko]

I almost cried, this is such a good shortfilm.

[katkat33]

personally felt it ended a bit suddenly. perhaps a shot of the boy running towards the girl while showing the distance he has travelled at the same time? afterall, he's journeyed quite a bit over the day

[HumanDichotomy]

I like this video because it's one of those ones that you can interpret in your own way. I think that the boy was hurting 'cause he didn't have a father, he was hurt about his father leaving/dying. Maybe his experience with his dad made him feel anyone he cared about would abandon him, so he didn't want to let people see his vulnerability. But then the fisherman's kindness somehow restored his faith in other people. Of course, that's just my take on it. It's different for everyone.

[TheOldEchoes]

@HumanDichotomy Very, very close. Splendid comment. All the best.

[HumanDichotomy]

Awesome. I know this guy. He's my cousin's husband.

[TheCaptnAwesomee]

If you dont get it think about this quote you probebly herd of it when you lost a girl friend or Boyfriend "Dont worry There are plenty of fishs in the sea"

[TheCaptnAwesomee]

@TheCaptnAwesomee

In this case that girl was his fish

[oranse]

If the Tropfest judges really care about catching big fish, my videos should sweep the festival. I better call my publicist.

[pudd750]

hmmm he went from surly gruff emo teen to huggy too fast- unreal, but if it were so simple-the fisherman was quite disarming tho

[burnabee39bernabe]

what....?

[roendm]

i dont get it... can someone?

[kherse14]

@roendm lol are you serious?

[dangerpronedlAUREN]

that was really really good. amazingly amazing

[1deathseeker]

GMH

[the3VIL]

its hard to find a girl sometimes. only that 1 fish bit, he didntt have many girlfreinds in his life. but he should hold on dearly to the one girl that he has.

[GuitaristontheFloor]

I think its more about him not having a father.

[Lardothefox]

amazing

[renegadeskinninja]

i get it...i think

[GuitaristontheFloor]

He has lived without a father. Blamed it on the world, and didn't live his life. But then he realized, that with others. There is plenty of fish, in the sea.

[renegadeskinninja]

oh then i was about half right lol

[isawyourmomintheshow]

aw i cried

beautiful beautiful short film

[jibiffixa]

I like it =)
