दो दूर के अजनबी

Since when did this short film of artist expression suggest it had an answer for you? At what point did this become about you and your viewpoint? Did you make a short film about your perspective? If not, give it a shot. See how it goes. Try to tell us a story and see how we accept it. Or maybe you can watch us take it personally and start ripping it to shreds for not being something else instead.

If you haven't seen this short yet, by all means, please understand that it's not about you. It's a short about a black man in a time loop with a white cop from the black man's perspective. At no point will you see the words, "based on a true story", so I'd suggest you take the script lightly.

To those on here who justified the killing of human beings by asking "how" they walked down the street or "why" they were out so late at night, you obviously don't know the value of a human life. Either that or you do understand it and just don't think black people's lives are worth much. I guess they lose their worth when they stay out past 1am or spell their name different from yours.

Man, this comment section got me so angry! Oh yeah, and I almost forgot to mention. I'm white. And if you're reading this as a white person, and you understand the value of a human being regardless of their skin tone, don't stay silent when you hear stupid people like these start to talk. Just shut that sh** down quick.

Bottom line...if someone is not threatening your life then you have no right to kill them. At no point should resisting arrest or a traffic violation result in death. Never. No no nope and never. They created something called THE LAW to help with those types of appropriate punishments.

Let me tell you this, this short film is very difficult to watch at times, cause you can't help from feeling anxious, angry and sad all at the same time. Even if the story is full of simplicity in itself, there are some impressive symbols, such as the blood with the shape of Africa, or the reference to George Floyd. Even if you didn't like the way it ended, or how it became a Groundhog-Day-like film, we must not forget the names of the REAL people who died without deserving to. The ending is so real and so important that it deserves a standing ovation, maybe not because of the film, but because of those people who will never come back and deserve that justice be done.

Nominated for Best short film at the Oscar this year, this wonderful little film uses the "old" Groundhog Day formula to great effect and does something which is not just completely new within a genre which never ceases to surprise me, but also manages to deliver one of the most important moral lessons and heartbreaking message.

It might not be subtle, but the circumstances are such that subtlety is meaningless at this point.

The names over the credits serve as a reminder of how much out of hands this has gone. Just as I am writing this the news of 20-year-old Daunte Wright was killed by a policeman who "accidentally discharged a "handgun".

Yes, it is the real groundhog day.

Beautiful, clever and very effective.

Take 1/2 a hour of your life and learn something new about short films.

Clever, articulate, nuanced and at the same time both obvious and subtle.

Just watch it, enjoy it, don't judge it.

This short film sums up what the black community have been trying to say for years to the police in America. It is heartbreaking and I hate that this happens in America. So poignant and intelligent. BLACK LIVES WILL ALWAYS MATTER!!!
