    something unreal in our life, but it deserve to get 10

    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.

    Signs

    "Signs" is a twelve minutes romantic short film directed by Patrick Hughes that portrais loneliness and sadness. I think is good amd entertaining, but I don't like cliff hangers.

    During the short film, we see Jason's repetitive life, and how he's always alone, but everything suddendly changes once he meets someone special in his workplace.

    The music is melanchonic and calm, but the more he communicates with the girl, the more the music becomes joyful, catchy, but sadly, it will go back to be calm and sad...

    I think it's called "signs" because the two characters never actually speak, and communicate solely with signs.

    I recommend it as it's a great short film.

    Enchanting story

    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.

    Sort of like "Paperman" before there was "Paperman".

    It seems rather odd that Disney received the Oscar for Best Animated Short considering that much of this plot seems inspired by this earlier film, "Signs". See them both--you'll probably see what I mean.

    The film is done without verbal dialog. A young man is working in the big city and is feeling alienated and alone. As a result, he seems to be just going through the paces in life. However, one day as he looks out the window of the office where he works, he sees a cute lady in the building next door. And, surprisingly, she draws a little sign and soon they begin conversing and telling jokes from their respective jobs. But, they don't meet in person. What's next? See it and find out for yourself.

    This film is excellent because it shows what can be done without dialog. Despite this limitation, the film is quite touching and clever. Very well done and well worth your time...and quite original.

    pure romanticism

    a touching film. for the simplicity of story, for the delicate emotion, for the characters and for role of seed. a film about solitude and love sens, about the need of love and about happiness. nothing new or complicated.only two admirable actors creating the sketches of ordinary people more than silhouettes. a romantic movie , beautiful for reflecting the searches of young man to escape from its life and the meeting, almost magic, with his soul mate. its romanticism is special because seems be out of the old recipes. because it reflect, in touching manner, the reality. that could be its secret. and its fascination source.
