This is a beautifully tragic story, and the young actress did a great job. I admire the creativity in placing a robot of wood, gears, and steam in an old west setting. The reaction from the neighbor was believable for that time and I'm glad they spared showing us the destruction of the machine, because I have no doubt that would have been the next step.

I feel like the 1890s Karen may have been involved with the late husband's death. Who checks on someone with blueberry jam looked a little too much like a blood stain to me. Which may have explained why Margaret was so adamant that her mother not be placed in Mrs. Cooper's care.

3/2024; Good Day From The Future.
An Old Saying: If the truth hurts, Let there be pain.
It was wonderful till The Evil of Religion and The Evil of Humanity arrived.
Excellent, and so sadly truthful.
Thank You & Best Regards

In the end it was the machine that had the greater emotional intelligence, not the people believing they had sympathy. To have sympathy a person must experience and learn more and more, not imagine that they have, or are it.

I like this one, (as with most Dust videos I've seen! That blend of historical & sci fi makes this feel really unique. I love the music too! One part sounded a bit like some music from Krull though. Around 4: 55 - 5: 15.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a very dark short. Did the automaton even exist Or was it her manifestation or way of escaping the cruel and unusual mental medical treatments of the day

Another sad ending. I think I would have had the woman hide all the plans, and at the end of the movie she is in some isolated place, safe and secret, rebuilding the machine.

Feels like it's a Sci-fi being told through Shakespeare's drama. The time, the music, dark religion and human ingenuity. Couldn't have been done in a better setting.

I love the way this was made. The Automaton is amazing. I love the way they incorporated wax cylinders as a form of the machine's communication. So neat.

Sad ending due to unbelievers believing in anything, but themselves.
Instead of embracing the unknown.
Closed minds, limit ones advancement.

I can be a bit of a harsh critic, but this is a definite watch! Last thought. A great example of why we need the Second Amendment.

So she was taken away from a machine that was giving her happiness only to be plugged in to a different machine to make her happy.

Like the Salem witch hunts, Liberals condemned the woman (burned her to death) then took all her property for themselves.

I love that it is set in the 1800’s.
It gives it almost a Steampunk/ Frankenstein flavor without being either.

Religion is like a disease in the human brain. People imagine that it does good but only harms in so many ways

I think the theme is that though the machine was real its independent interaction with her was imagined.
