    Simple message simply told

    I don't live in America, but I thought that this was a good way to portray the life that Black Lives Live. It isn't nuanced. It isn't subtle. It doesn't try to explain why or how. It shows what is. I appreciated it. Thank you.

    Say Their Names.

    A solid addition to the Best Live Action Short Film Category

    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.

    It may not be subtle, but its message needs to be loud and clear

    Find 30 minutes to watch this NOW!!

    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.

    It delivers the message

    This short movie should be nominated for many awards just for the criative approach of racism through science fiction. Yes I agree, the science fiction part is not well explored, but hey this is a short movie and they chose to focus on the part that shows the constant struggle between law enforcement and black people, which is the most important after all. The final minutes of this film is really heartbreaking. Anyone who hates the film or gave it poor rates, probably does not understand anything about racism, or worse do not care...

    Interesting movie with a good message

    Didn't know what to expect from this but both the leads i thought were great, definitely worth the watch.

    • Trivia
      The title is a nod to Tupac Shakur's song "Changes," which features the line, "Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers." (The song "That's the Way it Is" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range upon which "Changes" is based is a recurring tune in the film.) Tupac's quote is featured at the very end of the credits.

      Carter: Officer Merk!

      Merk: Wait, what?

      Carter: Look, man, I'm not sure what the fuck is going on. Maybe some racist deja vu shit, but I think we're stuck in some kinda loop where I keep running into you and you keep fucking killing me, man.

      Merk: Now I know you're smoking...

      Carter: Yeah, you think my cigarette is not a cigarette. We've been through this, look...

      Merk: Hey, back up. Show me some ID. Keep your hands where I can see 'em.
