    The great problem here is that this film-- one of the finest shorts I've ever seen-- is posted in the wrong aspect ratio. This does the film and the filmmaker a terrible disservice. The film can be viewed in its correct format at Wally Danger's YouTube channel. Just search through his uploads. Sadly, that version only has a couple hundred views. Such are the mysteries of YouTube.

    I would urge you to update this video with a correct version.

    As someone who has seen way too many silent films, I love The Heart of the World. It is fun picking out all the films referenced here - Greed, Metropolis, The Battleship Potremkin, Nosferatu, etc. I don't think it necessarily means that much, other than an affectionate tribute to the lost artistry of silent film.

    You are thinking outside of the box when you pose and honest question and ask for others' opinions. I found this piece about the film which goes some way explaining why I love the film. I'm not able to paste a url here but search for:

    CINEMATIC EXPRESSIONS OF THE ANIMA—Guy Maddin's The Heart of the World (2000)

    and you will find an excellent commentary.

    Hope this helps!

    If you don't get it, I don't think anyone can explain it to you.
