Ring of Fire

Great artistry and musical background.

Imagery was unique in a captivating sort of way. The monologue was so well interwoven with the music, that the tone was set immediately.

The ultimate "good wins out" is present, while the simplicity of the entire event demonstrates what can be done with a short.

Enjoy the intent, and don't be diverted by the suggestive landscape. This only serves to amplify the plot's intent quickly, and helps drive the emotion of the moment.

Worth your time, not just because it's a short. This wouldn't work any other way. Nicely done.

I have one word for this. What?

It was strange, I didn't understand any of it, all I knew is that there was a cowboy and some kind of... other cowboy. I'll give it a six for weirdness...

This is one of six films included in the collection "The World According to Shorts". For the most part, this is not a particularly good set of shorts, as I have seen many others with more memorable content than this rather disappointing DVD.

This is the only animated film in the set. It consists of black and gray drawings with bizarre characters from the American West in a battle of the sexes--as drawn by someone inspired by Picasso or possibly LSD. There is a plethora of sexual content and imagery in the film--like it was made by a subversive little kid who still isn't too sure about the anatomy of a naked lady! In fact, the film seems to be almost nothing but sexual images, genitalia and breasts--many of which aren't even connected to people. It's all pretty creepy and strange, though I assume that Georgia O'Keefe and Salvador Dali probably would have enjoyed it very much.

Overall, I'd say it is an interesting and highly original film that made almost no sense and made my brain hurt. Sadly, this might just be the best film in the collection because at least it held my attention!!

A very, very interesting film in a different style and context than what you have ever seen. At first it is a bit vague, but gradually you get acquainted with the trajectory of the story and the subject and it becomes understandable to you. In my opinion, the director's mind is a sick and very creative mind, which I like and I liked the illustrations and the shape and image of the characters. I advise people who use psychotropic substances such as marijuana to watch this movie only after consuming marijuana and be sure that in this case, while they will enjoy watching this movie many times, they will also enjoy more it compared to an ordinary person. They will understand more content and secrets of this film.
