Never trust a woman whose ass is that small.

[rimonase]

This is so cool..It reminds me of Blade Runner

[zuzua566]

woow, Darkroom! ;-)

[leonelsandub1]

Para mí, éste es el mejor de todos los cortos ;D

[trueluigi]

This was made beautifully

[alfredborel]

all the parallel lines shorts are amazing, but this one is brilliant!

[chingreed]

Nice move.

[PeanutBridle]

im not sure what this was but it was really good!

[fraser1999]

The Chinese singer in this video is called Fong Liu. She is based in the UK and has a website

[aleksandarjovcevski]

i can't believe everybody's talking about the music ... who's the girl ?? :D

[Kevo216666]

Didn't like this one at all.

Too adolescent.

[Nboy514]

@Kevo216666 I don't think you got it if all you got from it was simple voyeurism.

[Kevo216666]

@Nboy514 Whatever intensions the writer/director had regarding a higher meaning were lost somewhere along the way here. If this is meant to be some kind of warning about the way technology is eroding our civil liberties it's fails horribly on many levels. If you think I've read the meaning wrong your welcome to put me right.

[Valdris1987]

СHARLIE THE UNICORN

[perfecttrunks2000]

the song is in mandarin chinese

[Herflik600]

@perfecttrunks2000

Do you know the name of the song? It's really brilliant!

[flash06]

seems like the Unicorn is what links all 5 movies.

[Tamagumo]

@flash06 damn man, you suck horrendously. you've posted this exact same comment on all 5 movies. NO SHIT SHERLOCK. check out the video for the phillips competition. sorry but your comments annoyed me tremendously : )

[ISt0leTheCookies]

@flash06 NOOOOO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[tomrule123]

Anyway we could see them without the TV mode?

[DeathSquadDesign]

@tomrule123 Did you miss the point of these? They're high concept advertisements for a television. It's used to show off the ambient lighting effects on the sides of the TV.

[CybisterBug]

Music by Colin Sminth & Simon Elms. But...can't find this song.

[GanoMr]

Amazing :P Like Bioshock

[DrJawson]

Инетесно оригинал саудтрека ????

[DrJawson]

Да и мне бы интересно узнать оригинал саундтрека ???

[plasticmickey]

it might seem distracting but a friend of mine has one of those and he loves it.

[k0nstantin0pel]

Really nice! The setting, the environment, the asian theme, the unicorn, the camera zooming into a mirror is all from Bladerunner.

[tonelowke]

@k0nstantin0pel makes sense, it was produced by Ridley Scott's company...

[yvonnecgabriel]

saw this on CR had to leave a comment after finding it rather unsettling that they are now using sexualized violence towards women or the hint of, to sell tvs. its disgusting.

[IFOUNDEET]

@yvonnecgabriel Hey, remember that time you judged the entire competition based on your opinion of a single entry?

[yvonnecgabriel]

@IFOUNDEET i'm not judging the entire competition? just this one, thats why i only commented on this short, i'm pretty sure we dont have to like every single short thats in the competition or are we all supposed to have the same mindless opinion?

[soopafob]

@yvonnecgabriel dont generalize that all directors think the same... so far each philips movie is different

[yvonnecgabriel]

@soopafob if u read my last comment you would see I already said I'm only judging this short, that is why my comment is on this short and this one only, generally when people leave a comment under a video they are only talking about the video on that page

[PalmliX]

Great short BTW, my fav so far.

[PalmliX]

I agree with you guys about the TV screen, very obnoxious, but the hard truth is that without that screen these shorts wouldn't have even been made in the first place.

[gishikin]

@PalmliX that is my conclusion as well

[NeoN247]

Phenomenal.

[fish070912]

anybody knows that background music?? it's a chinese song, nice but i don't know the name...

[panzerrune]

@fish070912 - I was wondering that too... if anyone knows what music is playing I'd love to find it...

[philipscinematv]

[qnunub]

такой ящик - ещё одна дорогая мечта...

[serpico1973]

It's hard enough watching the film so small in the first place, but shrinking it into the tiny screen kind takes away from the idea that it's cinematic. Need to get a magnifying glass on it... Shame as it doesn't do what looks like a cool short justice.

[Genoil]

@serpico1973 maybe you should try switching to 1080p mode and press the full screen button.

[serpico1973]

@serpico1973 & the light spilling off the TV is distracting.

[DeathSquadDesign]

@serpico1973 Go to fullscreen and STFU.

[Britize]

Pretty obnoxious branding, on an otherwise brilliant short. Spoils the effect a little, especially as it doesn't need to take up so much space.

[IFOUNDEET]

@Britize Well, I GUESS it kind of works in THIS particular film, because the whole thing is about how people are being watched - and with the TV screen, it can be interpreted as us watching the main character in yet another sense.

This being said, it's still kind of obnoxious and should be done without for the full release.

[SimonGosling1]

@Britize Who do you think funds these little films you enjoy? They don't pay for themselves.

[IFOUNDEET]

Brilliant. I only wish there was a version without the TV on the actual screen. Aside from that, well done.
