SIGNS



This one of the 2009 winning entries for Cannes this year, its directed by Patrick Hughes. Its basically about communication and things like that. Watch the video to find out more. This video somehow showacases a lot of things within its short 12 minute frame.

1)The boredom of an office aka city life
It truly depicts how boring and mundane life is in the city area and when I was working for like half a year, its was the same feeling as well. Uber routine life, machiam like army...but like army there is a sense of fun in it as people fools around...haha. But, there are some places where work means work and because the company is a profit-driven area, there ain't much of a choice unless u are GOOGLE>.<

2)When one finds something extraordinary (or someone in this case), life becomes much brighter.

Evidently, from the video, Jason's life became much happier as well as the tone of the lighting in his house became brighter and he starts to enjoy going to work as he found someone fun/different in Stacey. So maybe, what we can do in life, is just be as fun and spontaneous everyday as you never know who you might meet and who you can brighten his/her day. Ol course, this is difficult to achieve as everyone has their moods and problems in life.

3)Somethings are just a window away.
Well this video, there is some elements of romance in it as Stacey did tell Jason that she had been observing him first and stuff like that. And Jason was all flustered when she was promoted to a higher position which means another level up...haha literally. Sometimes, one is so caught up with one's life that he doesn't notice his surroundings around him.

4)A bit weird but good way of communication.
It looks a bit off to see such a way of communication in such a serious setting like an office but it is a way to...I think...you know de-stress and to satisfy the human desire to communicate with someone else. Its like me and pbj way of conversations which are very very lame to the max and to both of us, its a way of de-stressing and a way for me to look forward from time to time to have some lame times to keep me sane...haha
