It would be cool if the story itself was a palindrome, where the man would end up the same way he was at the first. Also if they literally talk backwards so you could hear the dialog forwards, would make it equally as wierd to watch it forwards or backwards
Your normal average business man prances about on his way to work while he preaches about how great his life is and continues to be overly optimistic all the way to work. But things take a turn for the worst, and he get's fired. Afterwards, he rants to his friend Paulo, but is furious when he finds out he knew beforehand he was going to be dropped, and gives him a piece of his mind. Afterwards, he heads to the hotel where he's staying-
only to find out that his bank account has been closed, and is no longer allowed into the hotel. He attacks the doorman in an angry fit, left only now with his only possession, his suitcase. With nowhere left to go, he uses a payphone to call his former lover Paula, who doesn't seem to be very happy with him, and refuses his plee to come over and hangs up. Business man, overwhelmed with what is probably the worst day of his life, and nowhere to stay, he rests on a nearby bench in a park(?).
A thief comes along and sees the opportunity to make a quick buck, and promptly seizes it with Business Man unable to pursuit him to retrieve his belongings. Now completely devastated of everything he had once had, he snaps. He heads to an overhead highway, and strips near the overview of the road below, and looks over, most likely contemplating suicide.
The whole movie is a palindrome. You can understand the meaning of all the conversations even if they start from the end.
Certain phrases are repeated at the end and at the start of the conversations (think 1-2-3-4-5-5-4-3-2-1 each representing a certain phrase). So it doesn't matter if you hear the transaction from beginning or end, it still makes sense. They're just altered slightly to represent a very plausible converse. Or some are just perfectely understandable from the end. Very clever.
it's so simple: we change when something happens to us...
at the "beginin" he's pissed because everything is going wrong with his life, but at the end he says he's a happy person, who smiles at every single thing!
how many you know that did the same, if you're not one of them?
when something big happens (it depends if good or bad) we change.. completely!
if we're happy we become miserable, if we're miserable we become happy!

waste of time. I'm not watching any more videos from this channel. looks like the whole thing was done as a college film class project by some kid who never had an original idea in his life.
Forward reverse, left right, up down My goodness, why cant people we play in a new direction. If you allow yourself to ignore rules, theories and science and come to terms with the idea that are brains have so many restriction i.e. we cant physically do what are brain is not capable of, however you can allow yourself to realise this, which can only mean we can imagine things we cannot see or do. If we concentrate on such thoughts who knows what we will start seeing.
I've watched this a hundred times, but first time in english. I love it, not just great as an idea but as making too. Great shots, my favourite is the one with people going down stairs on subway... beautifull. My favourite short movie. Barcinski is one great director.
For some reason the first and last scene(s) twist my mind. I can see the traffic moving backwards, and even the motorbikes, so the film is still playing in reverse. But it looks so much like he is running forwards. The way his balance is and his stride, and even the way he avoids the poles... It just is hard for my mind to work out how that would look when viewed normally.
i didnt catch that in the video the first time i watched it, but when i went back i noticed what you said seemed true. At first i thought that it might have been a slight possibility that the street was shutdown and a set of people were hired to drive in reverse. However if you stare at the main character closely you see that the angle of his arms is somewhat strange for common jogs. His arms are held that way to keep balance, but overall he does an amazing job and creating fluidity.

if you enjoyed this, watch Irreversible for a full-length thriller with the same motif :) It was good, but the name gives it too much credit. It's just reverse storytelling with a little tweaking to make it more digestible.
IMHO, the story is much more interesting to follow as it was presented, i.e., end to beginning. It's because I always wonder what caused the scene to happened. If it was presented the other way around I think the story would just be bland.
this is a brillant movie! the ending is sweet, makes you think about the whole thing. exactly what a short film must do! Love the end music! Whats the song?? Anybody know?
I think so too. To me a palindrome does not only keep its meaning but also its exact spelling when reversed. I do appriciate the movie, but I keep thinking that the title is misleading. It is a reverse story, that's what it is.
They are walking and running backwards a lot, which makes the movie quite bizarre. That's an extra bonus.
you dont have to be an expert. Look up the definition of "Palindrome" heck, its even explained at the beginning of this video. The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning. So if you say "Jamesdude I'm glad it has a happy ending," then the day started of happy. Meaning....... just for get it, I can but dont feel like explaining it anymore.
we all perfectly know that the end actually is the beggining and that is the great deal about the film.. you can choose between two different stories in one short movie.. :)

It's very neat to watch and try to pay attention to the events un-unfolding, but at the end of the day it's little more than a trite story that someone hit the rewind button on. So I guess I like the concept but I feel there could be so much more to it. Just doesn't feel completely fleshed out, I guess.
hard to follow, its only in reverse whats so hard about that....hmmmm.... (wonder about this comment?) glad you realized it was very good so there is hope for you.
ew years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me
Pulp fiction. Without the subtitles would have been a bit dull. I didn't like the break of continuity at the end where the vocal was frontwise but the video still retreated with flashbacks.
I guess the underlying moto is you reap what you sow. He should have never left her to begin with?
Pulp Fiction. Sin los subtítulos habría sido un poco aburrido. No me gustaba la ruptura de la continuidad en el final cuando el vocal se frontwise el vídeo, pero todavía se retiraron con flashbacks.
Supongo que la moto en que se cosecha lo que siembra. Él nunca debería haber dejado a comenzar con?
Um...I know it's backwards. I know that they loosely defined palindrome to try to come up with a clever title for this film, which has been done at least twice before. I also know that if you were to play this movie forwards, some of the dialogue would not make sense. hence, chronological fallacies.
IMO he is speaking forward because it is a voice over of his emotions, which are not structured into sentences, and have no real beginning or end. Great picture
reminds me of those horrific days in my life, I've sat there at the end of the day stripped bear and the way I've recounted the memories of the day read like this piece plays. Excellent stuff.
I was sort of hesitant this was going to be a snippet of that sicko abortion-incest movie "Palindromes" from a few years back. Yuck. Thankfully, it was pleasantly nothing to do with it at all ;)
I agree with the comment "It would've been better if he had a do over day. I was expecting that." I was really expecting for him to have a do over day.
Now I think you are just simple minded there when you say "you expected something else". Me to. And about the frases you put here: stop listening to N-Sync or whatever. "Thats what you are" is a proof your a poof. ;) No hard feelings.
To pick out the individual merits of this film would require more words than the average youtube watcher has time to digest. Surfice to say this is brilliant and well worth watching. Technically engrossing, visually intriguing and narratively engaging. Watch it once and enjoy, watch it again and admire.
Good, but very hard to keep along. Can't do a 10 minutes reverse movie, maybe just a short skit would be good, like that Shower one futureshorts posted a while ago.
This makes me think of a Czech film called Happy End, which is a feature-length film which runs in reverse. It's not palindromic though - the reverse story is completely different from the original story.

Excellent! It is the kind of short film you can write a 5,000 word essay on.
georgepowell 3 years ago
5,000 word essays are nothing when writing about films! 10,000 is more like it! ;-)

Nah mate the hardest thing is 1500 word essays cos then you have to trim everything down but still not be vague!

I was sort of hesitant this was going to be a snippet of that sicko abortion-incest movie "Palindromes" from a few years back. Yuck. Thankfully, it was pleasantly nothing to do with it at all ;)

I agree with the comment "It would've been better if he had a do over day. I was expecting that." I was really expecting for him to have a do over day.

What on earth is a do over day?
spectrelives 3 years ago
do over is an Americanism. A 'do over' means you can literally do it again.

I don't think his day was bad enough to warrant him running through the street in his underwear, unless they skipped the part where he got wasted.

Wonderful piece of art and great execution in literally filming it in "hindsight", which, as so opulently demonstrated here, is NOT always 20/20.
The main character kept reminding me of Joaquin Phoenix :)

Ther's nothing to admire here. The idea is simple and it's a one time impression. To admire this you have to have your brain overdone by drugs. :)

keepyouth 3 years ago
Now I think you are just simple minded there when you say "you expected something else". Me to. And about the frases you put here: stop listening to N-Sync or whatever. "Thats what you are" is a proof your a poof. ;) No hard feelings.

It would've been better if he had a do over day. I was expecting that. The ending didn't live up to the piece.

Nothing to do with the losing vice-presidential nominee (Sarah Palin) but pretty good film.

Amazing film, a little confusing during the dialogue, but stunning all the same.

I enjoyed watching the physical palindromic excamples. Hyperventilating and run-screaming look the same in reverse.

To pick out the individual merits of this film would require more words than the average youtube watcher has time to digest. Surfice to say this is brilliant and well worth watching. Technically engrossing, visually intriguing and narratively engaging. Watch it once and enjoy, watch it again and admire.

Good, but very hard to keep along. Can't do a 10 minutes reverse movie, maybe just a short skit would be good, like that Shower one futureshorts posted a while ago.

This makes me think of a Czech film called Happy End, which is a feature-length film which runs in reverse. It's not palindromic though - the reverse story is completely different from the original story.
