Whoever made this video must be familiar with parrot behaviour/locomotion. The stretching of the neck/extension of the tongue to reach objects is perfect,as is the waddling walk/sidling along a perch. The curiousity and determination is also characteristic of parrots. Unfortunately, this parrot had no wings,and therefore could not use his opposable feet as hands like other parrots. I also like the genetic manipulation-esque melding of cat and bird,as well as the postapocalyptic scenery.
well, he thought the Moon was too high, but actually he had to sink in order to reach it... guess it only makes it more depressing. Therefore all his effort was meaningless, because he had to fight and sink for an illusion that was never what he really thought it was... Iscah never reached THE moon, only a reflection of it, after he drowned. He died before even getting there.
To me it's a man who is attracted to a woman, he chases the woman, do what she tells her to do, only to find out that he falls in a trap that she sets for him. Then finally, the man loses all his strength and quality, and is enslaved by the woman.
Sorry about the "tense" problem if you see that a problem.
That is so sa and so beautiful at the same time. I think it's saying that it's practically impossible to find anything beatiful in this ugly world, but when you do, you can't catch it.
I can find a meaning in a lot of VFS videos. This one tells me that the world you live in could be an illusion, a portal or even a nexus that could lead anywhere you just have to look for the signs.
In New Zealand we have a huge variety of flightless birds. We even have flightless parrots (none with cats' tales though). I hope to see more of them starring in films!
I don't think it's good to be told "you are the moon." The moon tempted Iscah to go beyond what he was capable of. Iscah couldn't fly but the moon went higher into the sky until Iscah fell down and hurt himself. Iscah couldn't swim but the moon tempted him into the water and he drowned.
The moon sets unobtainable goals, and tempts you to chase those goals until finally you die in the failed persuit of perfection. :(
You are the first one to realize it was not quite a compliment in the end. Though cruel as it may seem, it was not that bad, for only in darkness can there be light.
love it!

Depressing but I suppose at the end he got what he wanted... Don't reach too high... you have longer to fall.

Only similar in that both are wingless and birdlike. A kiwi is a real bird while Iscah is a fantasy creation.

A bird with hope but no ability to make it true, dies when it nearly accomplished its dream, but only to find the dream is a trap.
