The Long Goodbye

I hope people don't live with that kind of fear in the UK. I'm not sure what to think. I was horrified that people even thought this could happen but it also seemed like some street rap/beat/poetry video.

A manifesto against racist hate and against complicity of authorities to a form of encouragement of brutal expressions of exclusion.

A confession, in same measure.

A recapitulation of an attitude of fear and vulnerability and abuse against the other.

A large family and its prepaires for a happy event. Paramilitary in neighborhood. And brutal intervantions against people . Pure racism at the first sight.

But the final part is a good demonstration about little more . Riz Ahmed proposes a large - precise portrait of the relations, source of hate, integration in British society , history of U. K. and the premises of global society, out of race or origin of ancesters.

In short, just a powerful film.

These kind of politically charged short films are getting old. And by "these kind" I mean the ones that hyperbolize very real social conflicts with nothing new to say.

It's a well made short film though... Well acted, well shot, well edited, well graded... Also kinda murky on the Sound Design but not too distracting.

But yea, overall... 5/10.

Well well well, this is my first time watching a short movie and it won't be the last one.

Some important political messages within 12 minutes, great job from Riz Ahmed and his magnificent performance, I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about performance in a 12min film but I can not ignore that one.

Made my night.

It is a shame that allegory is wasted on so many people - IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE REAL!

The words are easy to understand if you pay attention.

A great short that gets its TRUE message over very well. You may have experienced this message, or must know those who have, or may be one for whom the message is aimed.

Riz Ahmed gives a deeply felt depth.
