I find it difficult to express why I liked this so much.
It's like a living nightmare where you have no idea what is happening and you are completely powerless.
The music instills an eerie and unsettling mood and the dark threatening weather just amplifies that feeling.
You can see the dread and then resignation on her face as she realizes her impending doom.
I've seldom seen anything that brings forth such strong emotions and not even a single word was spoken.
Don't try and find any deep meaning to it because I don't think that was the intent.
I know many will disagree but I think it is a brilliant piece of work.

Not many seem to be commenting on the amazing production value here. So putting what the film was trying to say aside a moment, it said it very very well.
Stephen King said the best way to write a story is to think of a crazy situation, then write what happens next. By that technique, that's what we got. I don't think it needs to mean anything.
I think it shows film writing talent to create a story so bizarre yet still have me empathise with the main character. Don't listen to the haters. This is art and is impossible to create without incredible skill.

Metaphor for death/dying. When we get to the end we become aware of the other people who have also just died, we see them float up and away from the earthly plain. Eventually we too cant remain any longer, our physical beings are 'Empty' and we begin to rise. Once we have reached 'Heaven' we have a few seconds of awareness before returning to the energy form. We are gone but the physical world remains.

We as a species. we are losing our hopes. dreams. we no longer feel the earth beneath our feet, the earth is dying much as our humanity. This is so lovely in its despair. We are energy, and we will combust upon the end of our time in infinity. Well thats my interpretation of this. But thats art. The way it should be.

This is literally the best any of us can hope for.
All attempts to alter this inevitably will fail.
But don’t despair, you will live to the fullest. While others toil their days away in the hopes of giving their acceptance speeches to their fashionable fans.
In the end, love is life.

Hmmm I got the Rapture as a theme. It’s just a different way of looking at it. Sure, if it was happening like that, everyone would be frightened too. The dust to dust theme of a life ending. The people becoming beautiful white explosions. Seeing it occur and you’re next Yup. Frightening.

Do'nt fear the dead. The end is not the end of all. Its a new beginning. Your body will stay in the past. Your soul will be free and return to the paradise earth. To explore again the world with a new body, new eyes, new thoughts in a new born child as daughter or son of your new parents.

Is this to illustrate the 'Rapture' when the chosen are called up and transformed Is this some alien takeover Is there some sort of geomagnetical disturbance affecting the gravity of organic bodies Interesting but quite thought-provoking so I'll give you a 7. 5 out of 10.

It seemed like it might be some kinda Christian whooha in the beginning, but I am left more confused than anything by the ending. Brilliant special effects artists made this boring story possible though. Kudos i guess!

I thought that was beautiful, not every story has to spoon feed you it's reason as to why things happen. The score was perfect and I liked the calm look on her face accepting the fate looming before her.

I feel like I just watched one of those pretentious TV advertisements where the writers' heads were so far up their own arses that they forgot to mention what product they're supposed to be advertising.

I have no idea what this
dream like short
was really about.
Possibly failed relationships
or the disconnect we have
with each other
Richard
I give it an 'A' for creativity.

Why do all the people have a need for an explanation A bad movie is a bad movie. You need a moral of the story that it doesn't want to give
Are you trying to try to find the meaning

It had my interest when I saw people falling up. then it didn't explain why, so now I'm upset. Either I missed a reference or this is just bad storytelling.

beautiful surreal pictures
that alone is worthy more than enough to be called art
the meaning, in things like these, are supposed to be individual

If it wasn't for the slow motion, this film would have lasted only a minute. I think I'll watch it in fast foward and see how that goes.

Life can be dark and dreary, yet we cling to it.
Even when we know it's time, we fear the end.
A burst of light, then nothing.

This isn't sci-fi. You've got to try harder to actually have some kind of plot where stuff happens to claim that label.

Destruction caused loss of resources, adverse climatic conditions, series of deaths.

You need the red pill to understand this. Otherwise, you will not be able to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.

One of the most artistic, stunning short films I've seen. This film is about anxiety and depression. Totally surreal.
