Signs

Contrary to some assertions about this story being unrealistic in the Information Age, the film's charm is entirely in its reminder that we don't need smartphones and the like to powerfully connect with others. This story is a fantasy, to be sure. It's the same fantasy - kindred spirits meeting, with some luck and a leap of faith required - that has always been the basis of all rewarding relationships since time began.

Its unrealism is the basic virtue defining it. From too familiar reality, a romance reminding fairy tales and naif cartoons but working well because it reflects, in fair manner, dreams, expectation, solution to boring, gray life. It is a lovely short film for its sweet innocence. Because you know and feel and have the certitude than is only pure fiction. But, for that, you like it. And, off course, for the actors, the contrast between shy and bored young man, prisoner of his routine and the shining, smart, beautiful woman working perfect. A profound beautiful film, reminding, no doubts, the generous Paperman.

I first watched this film stumbling the internet and fell in love the cinematography. The story is great, it really makes you feel good after watching it. The actors were right on key with the story and really made you feel like you were apart of them. I want to know what camera lens they used on the shoot. The lighting was so so it was nothing exciting. I thought the editing on it was great and went with the music, which also fit the mood of the film perfectly. Patrick Hughues is a great up in coming director and I look forward to his future films! Overall I give it a 10 and hope Patrick Hughues keeps coming out with great works!

I was wondering that could it be real in our life when they didn't use phone or say any word. But it makes the film special. No need to talk. Just by words. The emotion expressed through their faces, their signs...You can feel like the characters felt: the loneliness of the men in a big city, the simple-but-deep love of him with the woman in the opposite building. The music in the film makes it more emotional. The director made a good job!

However, I don't think someday it will be real, not on the movie. But sometimes we shouldn't be practical to rate it. Deserve to get 10 stars.

A man is sick and tired of his usual life and feels loneliness he is single. One day, he sees a woman in a building next to his office. Since then they have communicated with written signs and the man's life is becoming lively more and more. He tries to show words, "Do you want to meet me?" But he hesitates and sadly the woman disappears. He is depressed so badly and regrets not writing the question. While he is working, something lightens his face. He looks up and he is surprised.

This film is so romantic that I was moved. their love is beautiful and I'd like to experience such a thing. And I understand his feeling very well. Anyone will be fed up with an ordinary and boring life that is like products made on a conveyor belt. Therefore a person who we love from the heart is necessary. Someday, I also want to meet such a person.

If you already have someone whom you cherish, please continue to do so. He or she may brighten your life. The more you cherish your partner, the more wonderful your life will be. So, like the man's story.
