ok I don't know anything about this but after watching the film its "brilliance" escaped me. I just spent 15 minutes utterly bored.

@8523wsxc

I watched this in film school, and the way the instructor set it up made it more entertaining: "Imagine you're an alien from another planet, and you have to educate someone about what a human being is. How would you do it?" If you look at it that way, as if you've never seen a human before, and looking at it as a specimen, it makes the film more interesting.

@katinaanimator

That makes actually a bit of sense. kinda like Jon Stewart "Earth the book".

[Jayhova21]

This video was made to show how we are flooded in a world of signs and representations and how we sometimes see things that we don't understand. The dialogue is so scarce because what he says is supposed to be emphasized. I saw something today, too that i wish to understand in a few days. The room is a metaphor for the earth, all the things the narrator points out are things we see in earth. The ring of white flame does not have a name, the white spot does not have a name. What is it?

[Lourod92]

The word perfect implies certain criteria, however, the narrator said the perfect person is right here.Where exactly is here?For me, here is a different place than where the reader is, as well as the narrator's place.If i said, the perfect person is right here, i would be calling myself perfect. Because of language, certain things become immanent.Silence is immanent in language as perfection is transcendent in god.Perfect language implies silence because we dont have to edit our silence

woow! amazing is the moment when he makes those quick, rhythmic movements with his fingers, so expressive having totally dead, ghastly calm face in the same moment

[copernico1234]

Magic really fantastic..Who is the author?Does Anybody know?

[Lovertits9]

@copernico1234... if by "author" you mean "director," the answer is Jørgen Leth

[copernico1234]

@Lovertits9 ahahah In italian author is more general than director, it's like artist.

anyway thank you

[Lovertits9]

@copernico1234, ah i see... well i can't say i've had much exposure to italian or even english spoken as a second language by native italian speakers, so forgive me if it can be a little confusing at times.

This video is full of human beauty. It´s the wonderfull magic of life, altough it appears to be a scientific video, it shows that the nature of people has a so many beatiful sides.

[pinkcrush72]

There is something so captivating about this. I'm still confused but I can't stop watching it!

[bordwlife85777]

this is beauty.

[OsseaShredder]

This is probably my third time seeing this, I always find something I didn't see before and I always like it more.

[cornerliquorstore]

[ScottsShadow]

[Cominacha]

The ending is superb. Very poignant.

[uozon]

[darknight124]

God I hate this piece so much. I have to make a version of this for my video class. I really don't see the point to this piece.
