[sametkoseoglu93]

meaningful

[TheMrMrinvalidify]

This would have been better with less monologue

[laurita942]

Maravilhoso e triste. Dá conta da tristeza de quem ficou

[ponnef]

oh god it's so sad!

[szex1986]

Wow, very touching

[minotauro963]

Y la cerveza es CORONA!

One of the best short movies that i see in a looong time.

[CherryLipsXx]

I think that the "hallucinating" scenes were just symbolising the great times they shared, they lived together for many years (that is why more than HALF the film shows him happily "with his wife") and they loved each other very much. When he woke up and saw the flowers, it was because of how their relationship had flourished. He was in fact very happy, went to tell her, and then we see the realisation of her "vanishing" from in front of his eyes, the reason being - the tower shadow collapsing.

[rorochile]

@CherryLipsXx I get your point but I think that this short is a form of protest because Penn and many people think that 9/11 was a controlled demolition. That never should have happened..

[CherryLipsXx]

@rorochile well obviously, the fact that this innocent man's wife just vanished when he had everything he ever wanted (love, happiness, etc.), represents that this was never meant to happen. I think it's just a short film to show how many people's lives were ruined because of such a horrible event. my previous comment was just a more detailed description of what each scene meant to me :)

[veeandjam]

@CherryLipsXx most definitely. It's a form of "protest" in itself that, in comparison to showing the tragedies of people dying in the towers, it's the tragedies outside. I think penn's trying to say that we shouldn't be fixated upon just that one point. I liked your reading on the relationship though, I didn't think about that - I think it's a combination between old age and reliving those times? Hence his line 'What am I doing?' at a point; he can't distinguish reality and fiction til the light

[CherryLipsXx]

@veeandjam completely agree!

[MANKUB123]

Absolute great. Shows he's a true artist. Perfect in every sense.

America was aging, getting old, not admitting it. This was the "McHale's Navy" guy livin' in an SRO without a pot to piss in, like more and more Americans. He had to let go of the past.

[zzz4122]

dudes you have to look beyond understanding or not.. i think is beatiful

[jacksite2007]

what a load of shit- it was pothetic, espec how the flowers came to life so quickly- come on who the hell rated this 5 stars

[curiniul]

Need you take the flowers literally, c'mon. The man hallucinated his dead wife on a daily basis!

[jacksite2007]

and so with the flowers. how did she die anyone, nothing to do with 9/11 coz the towers fell while she was already dead

[lughlamh]

we weren't told

[jacksite2007]

1:46 freaky

[pat442389]

i really didnt get it im sorry for those who love it. i even thought at times it was too creepy. i thought he was gonna die when the towers fell.. maybe symbolizing our democracy. old fat and ugly telling stories about how it used to be, then completly dying on 9/11 esp with penns backround. but i was totally off. if someone did get this please explain it to me thanks

[jacksite2007]

it was rubbish- nothing to do with the towers exept for light. it never happened (like the flowers regrowing) and was something they rushed just one yr after it happened

[Gorkyy93]

yuh emre altug amina koyim senin...aski kiyamet sarkisinin klibini burdan araklamis...serrrrrrrrrrrrrefs­izzzzzzzzz

[miramenow]

great music ,great acting, great penn

i love it

[lerroc]

speechless

[jnas1181]

Sean Penn I have loved your acting immensely, but I am not in love with your directing and story telling as well...simply amazing.

[Airportris]

mmm doesnt make much sense since he directs most of the movies he acts in

[VitoCorleonePadrino]

@Airportris

What? Check your facts dude.

Sean Penn has directed 4 movies plus this short, and he didn't act in any of them.

[Airportris]

wow retard go read my comment again.. it was directed at another person

[taylorMFilms]

Brilliant!! Sean Penn is a both and artist and a craftsman. This short is amongst the very best short films made in many years as it expresses itself in both dramatic application, story and context with a brevity rarely seen. A non-political approach to a deeply personal tragedy allows for the audience to engage an issue without repelling the viewer with polemics. I hope they're teaching this short in schools.

[dorinel1985]

fantastic

[smackOfatz]

one of the best short movies ever done.

cant watch it again. it makes me deeply sad and stunned.

[nuguggamada]

watch the other ones, too.. its cineart. very nice shots from around the globe.. schmakofatz, hehe thats great..

[smackOfatz]

yeah, i own a copy of the whole movie since years but this one is.... without words :)

take care.

[mrsmagloo]

It's so dark! and none of the TV shows should have been on. As I recall, NYC, the Pentagon, and rural PA, were on 24/7 for DAYS after that horrific act of tyranny. I remember seeing a regular commercial coming back on about a week and a half later, and bursting into tears because it meant life just might be getting back to normal. Both my sister and brother lost acquaintances on Flight 11.

[Chocholousek1]

interesante

[edgarferreira]

anybody know the name of the songs?

[bsk1905]

impressive!!

[Looserkid13]

Ok so this is 1 movie out of 11 movies that 11 different directors from different countries filmed in memory of 9/11. Apparently, this one won the best of movie of these 11, and rightfully so according to what I've seen. The other good ones are one that is French, and an Iranian. Would be good to post them as a response or something like that.

[aliville]

beautyful!!!

[Looserkid13]

wow. im speechless.

[mpolatus]

I am so disappointed to learn that the theme in this great short movie was inspired from a song clip, if you don' t believe please see in you tube

emre altug ask'i kiyamet

[Fenolik]

that video clip made in 2004...this movie made in 2002 :)

[tapmeh]

yes you have right.but ı prefer to watch erol günaydın in emre altug's video clip because of feelings at the song=)

[dfaater]

Its a great short movie

[zebercet22]

great acting!

[aklahizmet]

its like a punch.
