Wow...

But ... Can you explain this short film ? 'cause i'm french and i can't understand, i want you explain this ...

The eye, the sexe's presence ... i don't understand !! can you explain please ?

You can explain in English if you want ... but i want understand =(

[larsparendt]

Thanks! Hopefully this will not sound rude, but I would much more like to hear what you believe this movie is about. I made the film, shipped it out into the world, to you, the audience. It doesn't come with a manual. The "I" in the title just as much refers to "you" in the sense "you" experience and interpret. That for me, is what good movies are about. If the movie cannot stand on it's own feet - I have failed!

An amazing film. well-done. I kinda understood it from the start though, especially because of the title: 'The Mind's I.' There's really one explanation for that: the 'I' that is behind all conscious thought and the observer of them. It is my guess that the couple(?) in the beginning were the parents residing in the unconscious "room" of the boy, and that the sexual urges either were a manifestation of Oedipidal Complex or a realization that sex procreates. I've been waiting to see the like.

Thanks a lot for your comment, krneel128. It's very inspirering as a filmmaker to get this kind of response on my work.

this is so like David Lynch. Except better haha Lynch can sometimes get boring during his abstract sequences whereas you hold our attention.

if you like this film become a fan on facebook. Tell your friends about it. Help to create a big buzz about it. He has gotten so much better since he made this one, and the world needs an alternative to the linear hollywood films and series. Like abstract paintings and electronic music films can become something more.

-this will be out on dvd soon, in a remastered HD version, to enjoy on your big screen.

-but if you want to see more surrealism by this director, let him know!

[steenbondrop]

become a fan of it on facebook!

[HanneKamper]

Interesting i must say, don't quite get all of it, but hey, who gets every film David Lynch does...

[UnbornChild]

I left some comments on this video before, and here I am again. I question, how did you pull off some of the special effects? Such as the large eye ball crashing through the wall. It just looks so magnificant!

[amazingnothingness]

umm holy shittt!!! that was the best fucked up shit i seen in a long time that's what im talking about! screw the new horror movies out these days! but you'll be glad to know that i did understand the point of this film!

[yaynicole]

yes i agree, i believe it is about abortion.
