to me, it's more like the human kind has forgotten about his past, we are considering ourselves as seperate from nature. when the officer let the deer smell his hand, he remembers. the deer forgives him, but pays the ultimate sacrifice to show the officer what he's lost, and that things have to change. he found it, and lost it again.
@simpleton7 sorry 4 sayin this .. but this is never ever The Kaiserstr. where should That be ?? Kaiserstr. starts FFM/HBF till Hauptwache (u60311) so please be more precisious.. ok, mein englisch ist nicht das besste .. aber wo auf der Kaiserstr. soll das denn sein, nur mal so , ich wohne rund um den Hbf .. sag an ! :)
Nature is also Hurricane Irene, as well as nice deer, so I really am fine with our continuing urbanisation. Country living values conflict with ecological ones, I find.
I seriously thought this must be a commercial, considering that they seem to have shut a road off, done a reasonable amount of set dressing, got extras and some effects. Really surprised it's an independent short, even from a Baden-Württemberg grad and would love to know how it was funded.
It was shot in Frankfurt, Germany on Kaiser Street and Neue Mainzer Street. It was shot with support from the magistrate of the City of Frankfurt and with financial support of local businesses in Frankfurt (Frankfurter Sparkasse, Five Elements Hostel, etc)
This video is to ensure to the normal human beings that, the kid in the beginning is aother human being which the officer helps. That means that man cares more about man and not the environment around him. This video is meant to show you how barbaric and greedy man can be, because the deer (nature) told the officer that she missed him and to prove that he didn't miss her, she took the ultimate sacrafice to show him exactly how selfish man really is. The officer just stood by and let it happen.
@igotspoobrain There was nothing he could do, he didn't ACTUALLY see the cab until it was too late. Also, what was he to do? Jump in and push it? Deer DENT CARS when you hit them, he couldn't have moved it if he tried, he'dve just gotten hit along with it.
You are all trying too hard to interpret the meaning of this short film, sometimes things can be as simple as they seem. No need to work yourselves up to try and sound smarter then the other. AKA @TheDukeOfWaltham and @PLOFKOMST
that deer is intelligent enough to form sentences but is unable to move the hell out of the way when something 10+ times its mass is rushing towards it?
@zazenzach 'I missed you, where have you been' ? The deer obviously wanted to make a point, but the sad thing is the deer didn't think the guy would ACTUALLY do something to help its living conditions, except being emotionally touched. Great commercial with a sad rhetoric question, because we have never been 'there' and never will.
@PLOFKOMST I can't say I have understood the film well, especially the first part, but my interpretation is broadly in agreement with yours. I think the deer wanted to illustrate the consequences of inaction—although the officer tried to help the boy and told him to "stay off the streets", he did no such thing for the deer: he just stood there, admiring the beauty of the creature which unexpectedly invaded his urban life while ignoring its obviously precarious position and impending death.
@TheDukeOfWaltham Well, I might just adjust my previous comment after reading yours..what if the deer represents nature, and the kid represents our environment? Our environment is build inside nature's, but we seem to forget this because we focus too much on our own environmental problems (poverty, crime, traffic jams, etc). We are blindfolded by our own environment that we seem to forget we are part of something bigger; nature. The cab killing the deer = somebody driving blindfolded.
@PLOFKOMST I completely agree that the deer represents nature (the "forgotten friend"); in fact, I found it obvious enough not to mention it in my reply (character limit and all). That said, you make a very interesting point about the boy, and your interpretation of the film makes much more sense than the other possibilities I had considered. The first half initially confused me, to the extent that I thought the child had transformed into the deer, but I soon realised how little sense this made.
@TheDukeOfWaltham That last sentence made me laugh haha, although it could be true. Because as long as the directors of this vid won't tell us the real meaning behind the kid, the deer and maybe more; I have as little right as you to tell whats right or wrong =) I did a few google searches but didn't had any result on the metaphors whatsoever.
@PLOFKOMST Well, art has always been open to interpretations beyond those intended by the artist, even when the artist has been very clear about their ideas. I suppose there is nothing wrong with our debating our way to a mutually acceptable interpretation; the exchange of ideas can help us notice or remember things we otherwise wouldn't. I should also like to express my pleasure that there are some intelligent commentators on YouTube. The signal-to-noise ratio is frustratingly low around here.
@TheDukeOfWaltham True, but don't you think it takes more effort finding out what the authors of this vid really thought while making it? I have a little affection towards people throwing out their own interpretations against everything they see, while not even trying to get inside the author's head and find out the real meaning behind all the (possible) metaphors. I could see humanity's superiority because we outgrew nature, but that's too easy.
How is a deer killing itself with a cab show that nature wants to be closer to me? That's more of a dick move, splattering the place with blood and scaring the shit out of the driver. And now that cop needs to close that section of the road for a while, when there's already tons of traffic. That seems pretty damn evil to me. TL;DR, deer are assholes, fuck you deer.
Fuck you, and fuck reddit. Go suck a dick. None of that shit is interesting or funny. Narwhals and bacon? Wow, you guys truly are the intellectuals of the internet. Top grade memes, except for the part where they never spread beyond reddit, or made anyone laugh.
