Dark Sentiments Season 8 — Day 6: Glued
Posted By Randy on October 6, 2017
Tonight’s Dark Sentiment is a prophetic little ditty in the form of an animated short film made in 2012 by the team of Alon Tako, Guy Elnathan, Daniel Lichter, and Sivan Kotek as their third year film project at Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
Glued is the story of a mother’s travails in attempting to get her video game addicted son to just go the hell outside and play. When I say the film is prophetic, this is not a reference to the future of all mankind, but rather to that of anyone at risk of coming to understand life through the delivery system of digitally rendered reality. We all know real life lessons are learned from things like finding out by experiment how high a height you can jump from without breaking anything, and I have no doubt that you, as I, will feel pangs of sympathy in the last scene.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Glued.
