This movie evidently gets a lot of people very angry. If you are easily frustrated or easily angered by something as simple as a little 10 minute movie, you're probably one of those people who orders stuff on amazon and then checks the order's status every 15 minutes. Relax. Yes, it repeats exactly, and a little editing might have helped. But that's the point - you are supposed to feel uneasy repeating everything exactly, and getting nowhere new. Seeing the same footage again, I looked out for other details - the movie is full of cool details that others have pointed out.I'm not sure what to make of the bum sitting by the subway. My feeling is that he calls attention to his new shoes because he is not caught in the rat race, and hasn't worn them out. Or maybe Amazon needed another product placement. I couldn't make out much of what he said.But take off that watch and relax.

There are amateur films, And films that look amateur.This looked amateur. Discontinuities cluttered the film. And any repeated actions in the film were achieved by playing back old footage. I actually thought I had a bad download. The first probably three minutes of the film is repeated frame for frame a little more than half way through.Then latter in the ending sequence they keep repeating the exact footage not in flash back but because the director was simply too lazy shoot different actions in different ways. I was thoroughly impressed by how bad this was.

Repetition is fine in theory, but this turkey should have been edited. We get the point already. To just drag us through it over and over without shortening the process is just plain pretentious. Where was the editor on this? And for what? Smell the roses?????? The assumption here is that the character is rushing because someone is in danger. Him? A loved one? We don't know. And that's okay. But to set that up and then say -- "hey, we all need to slow down sometimes and smell the roses" is just plain bunk (not to mention cliché sentimental crap). I'm exhausted watching this. And it was only a few minutes long. PASS. and PASS. and PASS. and PASS. and PASS.

... to smell the roses sometimes... very nice short. POSSIBLE SPOILER I can appreciate the need to simply refuse to be rushed or have life commanded/directed by the time-clock. Great message in the film. Blair Underwood was excellent in conveying the frantic nature of the average joe's life in chasing the dream or hurrying to what comes next. He also conveyed the relief of letting go well at the film's end. Taking off the watch was pretty much the final stroke in not allowing himself to be controlled by time and worried about being on time cause some unknown force say you have to be. Enjoy life and take our time getting to the "next" thing... that's the message I carried form the film.
