EDEN | Sci-Fi Short Film (2016) | Brodin Plett

[@Brofain]

If I uploaded more films here what kind of content would you like to see?

[@kingkurok3149]

I think all we want is quality content, if you can keep doing that well it really doesn't matter what those films are about, in fact anything will do, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, anything is good if passion & effort is put into it

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

Sci Fi

[@josesalguero8744]

Medieval Fantasy would be cool too :)

[@RobertDeloyd]

I like to see a continuation of Eden! I really loved the film

[@youz123]

probably apocalyptic / zombies

[@stephenbruce5431]

This is fantastic! Amazing actors. I could feel everything even though there was no dialogue. Beautifully done.

[@samswilly14]

The four seconds that made this, the image of her hand reciprocating the hug, and then the flood of emotions on the face of the other girl. In four seconds or so you’ve shown what it means too be human, well done man well done. I haven’t been hugged in many years..I felt that emotion she had with that hug, how good that must’ve been. That’s how I know this is perfect

[@marsha6892]

God bless you Jesus loves you

[@tenaegage69]

It makes me sad that you haven’t experienced a hug in years

[@moomoo3031]

the kind of hug where you can feel the sadness leaving your body...lovely, thank you

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

That's what I got too! Put love on someone's neck😊

[@JessicaN555]

I didnt even realize it was lacking dialog till the end! It was so full of emotion and story with very little words. Brilliant!

[@7munkee]

This one left me speechless....like the movie itself. You showed us that you don't need dialog to film emotion. Bravo!

[@zelphx]

No plot necessary, either.

[@rikspring]

[@Th3Snipe]

I think we can all say to watch this movie with all your senses sharpened. A beautiful walk of emotions with downs and ups instead of ups and downs to keep you with a feeling of hope and the meaning of having eachother. Perfect for this time of day when the corona virus strips us from our social behavior. Keep your closest, close to you. It's an important message in important times. Appreciate eachother

[@B30pt87]

This was so cool. I realized at the end that the only spoken word was 'friend'. Good acting & casting. Outstanding film.

[@jdgetcbzhjsjeklas]

I liked this film. It was simple, uncluttered and evocative. I wanted more. Thank you for taking time for that last moment of comforting.

[@seecanon5840]

Well done and executed. I felt loneliness, fear, wonder and frustration. Emptiness when she buried the doll.

[@donaldbennett3773]

Message we truly don't know what it's like to be alone until you have lost and to have no family no one to hug kiss or just to say good morning goodbye. Life of another it's precious hold onto it as long as you can. Even after death if you truly love that person they never gone they stay with you always. But they're not there. Just don't hold someone is most precious. As always sending love to all and all yours from Michigan USA. Thanks for making this flick I enjoyed it.

[@gagarinone]

Thanks for sharing your great word with us, the KZbin audience!

[@HakunaMatata-os1og]

There were four modules launched at the beginning, one sleeper in each, 2 girls, 2 boys, in total, I would imagine. At 14:39 the dark haired girl looks at the animal claw damage on the exterior wall and her hand goes to her belly (2nd time) and it looks like she is pregnant, probably from the 4th explorer that presumably got mauled and killed by the wild animal thing. The connection was his possession, that black plastic light-saber-like looking tool, which the blonde haired girl retrieved from near his corpse. The doll represents children, procreation, a basic drive in humans (and in all living things). Play with dolls, play in general, is practice for the real thing, the practice of situations and unfamiliar emotions. The blond girl looks at the drawing of the couple hugging in her scrapbook, in conjunction with the doll (baby), on some intuitive instinctive level, she understand the connection. There is a lot going on here, without words. Well done.

[@thomasfleig1184]

Figured that out all on your own, did ya?.... Lol. What I figure is, at first, the guy was probably thinking to himself "now that the other guy is dead, I've got his girl, plus this new blonde, all to myself. And, if the baby is a girl, he'll have 3 girls to himself. I'm the luckiest guy in the world". After a few months he'll be thinking "why did the other guy have to die and leave me here alone with two crazy bitches and a screaming baby? I must be the most unlucky guy in the world"..... Lol.

[@waltervt7582]

I get your point. You’re right. But there was dialogue. There was one word: “friend” which he said to her after dropping the knife.

[@danclayberger770]

Nothing is more difficult in acting than trying to portray emotions without words. The actors in this video try and to a degree succeeded.

[@wayneg2139]

Exceptional film. Very well done VERY well and beautifully acted by the Stunning Emma Liegler I would literally watch anything if she was in it. Please someone put this extraordinarily talented women in a movie or series. I'm not sure how I feel about the lack any lines (the spoken word) in this film. It works as it is. Somehow just does not ring true that she never speaks. People who are alone do talk to themselves, especially after TWO years alone. That is just basic human nature. The only reason I can think of as to why they would not talk is if the human voice attracts the monster.

[@jerrysstories711]

At last, a DUST short that isn't bogged down with exposition!

Great job. got teary eyed with the hug at the end. Great short overall. Thank you!

[@fCauneau]

IMHO, the most fantastic thing here is to understand how a movie without a real scenario can be "award winning"...

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

It was the hug. That Embrace even a stranger can give that makes anything a bit less harsh.

[@seraphimgracesantiago-gonz8219]

She appears to be very young This is very symbolic leaving each viewer to their own perception. Perceptions vary Comments are interesting and the title, eden leaves me to believe, as with many post apocalyptic stories that this is representation of a new beginning.

Truly one of the better films with no words. You managed to achieve so much with the main character, and then the two she ran into at the end, with their acting, which of course, the director helped immensely. I truly was sorry to have this one over. Well done.

Omg WHHHHYYYYY do these short movies have to have such great plots that are amazing and BEG for a full movie to be made? I so want to find out what happe s with the pregnant woman and her brother along with the new girl.

[@seraphimgracesantiago-gonz8219]

Not sure however, I think that is the whole point, objective for these short films. I haven't seen too many, enough to guesstimate they are all post apocalyptic. So this being noted it is in fact anyones conclusion as to ,what, why and allowed me to extrspulate ( this shall be most interesting, what ppl hurl at me with words I don't speak lightly, from experience, perhaps just that in itself the words in quotations , will make the indecisive wanna be,s quiet " You think?? Nahhh Proceeding on it leaves many possibilities all which unless you are extremely empathetic, (an empath) are less to be desired. Welcome to the age of the lost children. We have been lost since modern man entered the so called "modern age" I think that it shows that people are mindless, arrogant so much that they destroy without consequence , act without remorse, and repeat with no compassion or mercy and these are just a few, observation, assessment, collateral damage a neccessary evil...... Well what should I know I've only existed since the beginning These short movies..... leave everything to you °°°°°

[@beverlybalius9303]

Michelle Bolen How did you figure all that out?? It made absolutely no sence at all!

[@seraphimgracesantiago-gonz8219]

@@beverlybalius9303 my conclusion and I don't want to leave a spoiler alert for people that read the comments to decide whether to watch or not is that this is very symbolic. And most apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic short stories leave the reader to make their own decision. It's a matter of perception, and many people perceive things in many different ways, the title Eden basically is symbolic of a new beginning. Eden was where Adam and Eve started according to the Bible that is. They started or they began to have a form which God gave them he lived in a paradise kind of Garden of Eden is also extremely symbolic. I don't want to draw this comment out too much further, it's interesting enough and without spoiling it for others, the girls alone and as it continues it's a very apparent what this is all about. post-apocalyptic I'm sure you know that it means after the world has been destroyed Human start over again. message many of the movie's leave The Watcher or the viewer to decide in their own mind as with most post-apocalyptic movies how they perceive the ending will be and it's usually very similar but very different

[@yadavsuyog6723]

It's evident to me that the first girl was longing for a child, and the second girl had lost hers. Being needed and needing someone is part of our nature. Like a part of our DNA speaking to our most badic need.

They both had intimacies with the dead explorer. The blonde realized at that moment the other girl was pregnant that he had chosen who he wanted between the two. She hugs her knowing she can still be part of his legacy through the pregnant girl.

[@lousminella474]

What is this film about? I don't understand anything after she landed!!

[@sgtmajor]

Ok. I’m no genius but here’s my take on this short--even though not asked for. Great job by the way. Well done. So this is about human innate instincts. To survive-eat sleep water shelter. To reproduce. (The pregnancy) Longing for companionship-a mate, and not just a mate, but a fruitful productive protector (the fur) (the spear she had). Longing for acceptance. (Searching for the other individuals in pods). Evolution-always exploring and searching and wondering. And then we stumble upon our emotions. (The long companionate hug at the end. The blond looking at beauty and the beast not understanding what or why she was in need of or looking for.) please take notice the love expressed at the end was was that of compassion for the loss of life and the hardship that comes with it. It was not sexual in nature. Real pure empathy. This short was about human basics and nothing else. Perhaps why language and vocal comms left out. This is a snap shot of early human history-just presented in a way that today’s newly evolved people can understand. I’m 48 years old and well educated at one of America’s finest institutions. I learned about early human life and evolution in the 70’s and 80’s. There was minimal minimal technology then. Just solid understanding. But I have a son that is 18 y/o. Can you imagine what it would be like for him to sit down in class one day and be presented human instinct and evolution as it was presented to me? No way!!! Thus this short was presented to today’s youth in a manner in which it better understood. But again-I’m no genius.

[@gagarinone]

Thanks for sharing your insights!

[@evekollar3230]

Man, I could use a hug like that.

[@samswilly14]

I could too, lived alone for some time now. I talk people at work, but I haven’t felt that human compassion in many years. I never thought about it before watching this. I haven’t been hugged in years..seeing this makes me remember how one small thing can change everything. Never seemed to understand the impact a hug can have, untill I think about how long it’s been and how grateful I would be to have one
