O.I. | Omeleto

A man comes up with a truly original idea -- but sharing it has consequences.
O.I. is used with permission from N'cee Van Heerden. Learn more at sizzlesnapproductions.com.
Chris is on a high: he just got engaged and has just made the biggest deal of his life. He wants to celebrate it by taking a trip down memory lane and revisits the bar where he made his first deal. But his ebullient mood is dragged down when he notices the other only customer there, Barry.
Barry's in a dark, depressed mood and Chris takes it upon himself to cheer Barry up and help solve his problems. But Barry's problem is a strange one: he has a truly original idea. But whenever he shares it... bad things happen. But Chris doesn't believe Barry and is determined to prove him wrong.
Written and directed by N'cee Van Heerden, this clever, witty horror short takes the notion that there are no new truly original ideas and twists it into a deeply entertaining, compelling storytelling experience. Told with great polish and verve, it takes some time to set up its story. But once it gets going, it unravels its fascinating premise with cheeky self-assurance.
The film begins amiably enough, in the ambiance of a relaxing tiki bar, lit with the slick gleam of the modern Hollywood milieu and dynamic camerawork and movement. As Chris draws Barry out and Barry's story unfolds, the storytelling goes into classic horror territory, but it visually maintains a sense of a heightened, slightly stylized world.
There is gore aplenty -- though nothing is super-graphic -- but this horror story is less about creatures and darkness. Instead, it maintains the energy and playfulness of a comedy in the editing, pacing and performances, with a rhythm and sensibility of a great (but gruesome) yarn.
The storytelling builds up suspense, raising the question of what exactly Barry's idea is and building up Chris's skepticism of Barry's story. As the story jauntily approaches its climax with a cheeky, almost operatic sense of drama, it barrels towards a standoff -- one that ends in the biggest irony of all.
O.I. is great fun, taking the classic narrative structure of a contagious curse and applying it in unexpected ways. It's also a story that is aware of the film's ultimate irony: for a story about the lack of originality, the idea itself is quite original, or at least very fresh, especially for a genre where its ardent fans love its conventions and rules. Maybe it's not quite mind-blowingly original -- but we might not be able to handle that much genius in the first place.

No, not really. It actually reminds me of an episode of dinosaurs. Though the original idea in that was that the Earth was round. I prefer this though. But it's a pity, I wanted to hear the idea. The plot device of information that people's brains aren't capable of knowing because they suffer a malfunction is not new either. Remember "the beast" in buffy the vampire slayer with the secret identity that no one could know, they'd be told and they would be incapable of storing the information? I swear I've seen something with a plot very similar to this before too. Where anyone who knows something instantly dies.

I've had a few original thoughts in my lifetime, some as young as when nine years old. Later I found my original thoughts had all been covered by philosophers over the last few centuries. Watching my "Matey"bubble bath going down the plug hole inspired me to think of Multi-Universes. Schrödinger's Cat would have been Brawdygordii's Cat except Schrödinger came up with it first. Only a couple of days ago I found Einstein's views on Metaphysics fit with mine pretty much identically. I did come up with the idea that the Universe is actually made up of only 1 "particle of energy" which travels at ♾️ speed weaving the tapestry of reality. This particle is in all places and in all things at the same time. It is the finger, the trigger, the gun, the bullet, the murderer and the victim instantaneously. I don't know of anyone who has expressed reality this way yet, though I'm sure that if I can think it then cleverer people have beaten me to it. I do hope my idea isn't the same as the unfortunate guy in the short film. If so, please don't give my idea any thought:-)

The ending was pretty sad. *Spoiler* Him crying at the end and realizing the one person who could maybe help is now gone, is just sad.

I thought that the first guy, having heard the idea from this guy, and having found out he was immune, and knowing that the C.I.A. doesn't even know he has the idea, would use the shotgun to shoot this guy and then spend the rest of his life using the idea in a weaponized fashion for glory and success.

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

It's not original. The organization he was kidnapped for was obviously the SCP foundation, and his "idea" was being tested on D class individuals, and his lethal idea itself is based on the funniest joke ever written monty python sketch, which itself is based on "Nothing but Gingerbread Left" by Henry Kuttner.

Outstanding! The only part that’s hard to digest … is the CIA letting him go, without some kind of fail-safe in place. Also … letting him go instead of using him as a type of assassin. All that said … I still loved this film!!

About movie-making: Is a FAN MADE HxH-Movie on the Way?!? I wished people made more original content about real-life-anime. Pokemon: Banettes Curse was already excellent, but Pokemon-Movies made by Fans are still an underappreciated Art, to say th least. But HunterxHunter is in an even worse spot: Cause potential is higher AND the Fans are more starved.
