PARAGON

A student develops , in 1984, an ambitious computer program. Information about familiar things . When the young man begins a sort of game, is opened Pandora box. The computer becomes a kind of ChatGPT, offering predictions about future events whit almost cold precision. The complicity with viewer, knowing the truth of predictions, the reference of computer to obscure - and familiar in good measure craftsmen- , the 80 s realistic atmosphere are the basic good points of this short film , provocative for admirable work of director for fair dose of realism and for the drop of conspiracy theory.

The result is more than nice to admirable in profound sense.

"Paragon" is an original film that skillfully evokes a sense of nostalgia. It boasts impeccable direction and cinematography, revolving around the story of a man who develops a computer program capable of predicting the future. Despite the potential for the inclusion of craftsmen to feel clichéd, the film deftly avoids this pitfall, delivering a genuinely engaging narrative. The performance by the actor is commendable, and both the setting and the portrayal of the computer are impressive. The leisurely pace at which the program responds bears a striking resemblance to ChatGPT, even though this film predates its creation, making it remarkably on topic with the modern climate.

The filmmaking team demonstrates a sharp use of their tools, leaving me eagerly anticipating future works from this talented crew, and even a much-deserved feature film.

Rating: 8.1/10.
